Because your nervous system doesn’t care how your life looks, it cares how safe you feel.
Here’s what’s happening:
Your body keeps stress when:
• You’ve been high-functioning for too long
(doing “fine” while constantly pushing, performing, or holding it together).
• You learned early to stay alert instead of resting → your body thinks tension = protection.
• Stress was never released, only rescheduled (you survived the season… but never processed it).
• Your mind moved on faster than your nervous system could.
• Rest feels unfamiliar, so your body stays braced “just in case.”
So even when bills are paid, relationships are okay, and nothing is “wrong”,
your shoulders still rise,
your jaw still clenches,
your breath stays shallow.
Touch is one of the fastest ways to remind the body it’s safe. Book your massage now.
