Someone Who Makes You Bristle?
"It's not stress that kills us; it is our reaction to it”
– Hans Selye
There’s always someone.
Someone who, just thinking about them, your shoulders crawl towards your ears and your breathing catches. You bristle when they speak. And being near them? You're on the verge of spontaneous combustion.
Deep, visceral reactions like this?
They’re not just in your head.
They’re in your connective tissue. Like an emotional residue.
In this week’s podcast, discover how emotional “insults” create patterns of tensing, bracing, and collapse in your fascia.
Plus, how you can use your structure and posture as real-time signs about the state of your nervous system.
