À propos de ce contenu audio
Have you ever noticed that when something good happens, you immediately brace for it to disappear?
In this episode of The Embodied Empath Podcast, Valerie Lundgren explores why joy can feel unsafe after long-term stress, trauma, burnout, or survival mode—especially for empaths and highly sensitive women. When the nervous system is wired for protection, expansion can feel threatening. Instead of relaxing into happiness, the body anticipates loss.
Valerie breaks down the biology behind this response, including how chronic stress conditions the nervous system to expect danger, and why openness and vulnerability can trigger anxiety instead of ease. You’ll learn how to gently build your capacity for positive emotions without forcing yourself into toxic positivity.
This episode includes a simple somatic practice to help your body tolerate joy and expansion safely—so you can experience goodness without bracing for impact.
You are allowed to feel good without paying for it later.
