Why Calm Feels Uncomfortable

Many people assume that feeling calm should come naturally, but after chronic stress, anxiety, or trauma, calm can actually feel unfamiliar. In this short talk, you'll learn why your nervous system may resist peace and how that reaction is a normal part of the healing process. Understanding this can help you respond with greater self-compassion instead of self-criticism. Please note: This talk discusses trauma and is not a replacement for professional mental health care.
