About this listen
Feel calm on the outside but wrecked inside?
In this episode, Diante Fuchs (Clinical Psychologist) breaks down the 3 stuck nervous system states: overdrive, shutdown, and fawn-freeze...plus how to identify yours and stop using the wrong tools.
If your body keeps throwing symptoms: tight chest, reflux, headaches, IBS, heart palpitations, exhaustion, but medical tests keep coming back “normal,” it can feel like your body is broken.
In this episode, Diante reframes that experience: it’s not a broken body, it’s a nervous system stuck in a protective state.
You’ll learn the three primary nervous system “stuck states” many high-functioning people cycle through (often without realising it), what they look like in your body and emotions, and why generic “regulation tips” can backfire when they don’t match your actual state.
Resources + next stepsIf you want help identifying your state and responding in a way that actually un-sticks the pattern, Diante covers this inside the EASE Mentorship.
