#334: Picture yourself in a moment that should feel tense. Your body knows something's off and tries to warn you, but instead of panicking, you start giggling, yawning, or feeling like you could fall asleep right there. Or maybe you go blank with no name for what you're feeling, no clue how to respond, just roboto, just fuzz, just checked out.

Today, I'm sharing real questions from clients in Anchored and The Somatic Studio about why we sometimes laugh when scared, get sleepy when anxious, or struggle to identify emotions until hours later.

Join me this week as we explore mixed autonomic states, interoception, and how your nervous system prioritizes survival over awareness.
