Episode Details

If your body won’t “stand down”—jumpy, wired, hypervigilant, exhausted—this episode helps you understand why and what can actually help.

Host Stacey Chillemi talks with Dr. Eugene Lipov about trauma and how calming the nervous system can make healing finally feel possible.

In this episode, you’ll learn: 🧠 PTSD vs PTSI—and why the words change shame into hope
⚡ How the amygdala + fight-or-flight loop keeps anxiety “on”
🔁 What a nervous system “reset” means (and why tools work better after)
😴 Practical steps you can try now to support calm, sleep, and regulation
🚩 Key signs your symptoms may be physiological, not “weakness”
