Why your body hasnt settled yet
A lot of people come into this space thinking they should already feel calmer.
You’ve left.
You understand what happened.
You’ve done the thinking.
So when your body still feels unsettled, it’s easy to assume something isn’t working.
I want to slow that story down.
Your nervous system does not calm down because you know you’re safe.
It calms down because it experiences safety — over time.
For a long time, your body learned to stay alert in order to survive. That meant scanning for changes. Managing emotional shifts. Preparing for the next thing that might go wrong.
That level of vigilance doesn’t just switch off.
So if your body still feels on edge, tired-but-wired, flat, or restless, that isn’t failure. It’s a nervous system that hasn’t yet learned it’s allowed to stand down.
This week isn’t about fixing that. It’s about understanding it — without judgement.
Nothing is wrong with you. Your body is doing exactly what it learned to do.
