EVERYTHING, you guys I can not stress this enough, is energy.
When there is an extremely high level of energy or excess current flowing through wires and equipment, what happens?
The electrical fuse “blows” or in other words, shuts down in order to protect the equipment from being damaged.
Your body is the equipment. Your nervous system is the wiring. Your brain is the fuse.
When there is chaos surrounding us, toxic relationships, work issues, financial issues, along with the day to day stress... our bodies are hit with an overload of negative/excess energy that can be damaging.
Your nervous system senses this and sends it to your brain. The neocortex in your brain thinks that this could be a problem like the wires connected to equipment, overheating.
That response is then sent to your amygdala which senses danger and pops like a fuse releasing epinephrine and cortisol igniting your “fight or flight” response to protect yourself from being damaged.
Excessively high stress hormones or an overactive amygdala due to PTSD, being an Empath, or after experiencing loss, can cause your nervous system to shut down creating a “numb” feeling emotionally while often accompanied with anxiety.
Friend, you are not broken. Your body and mind are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. Sometimes though, we need a little bit of magic to help us operate at optimum levels😉....Like putting miracle grow on your garden. Don’t hesitate to seek out more support such as hypnotherapy, EMDR, EFT, supplements like 5htp, or medication.
I hope this helps. 💜
