@yourcosmicdoula: Ever watched a scary movie, jumped out of your skin, and then laughed because you knew perfectly well it wasn’t real? Your nervous system was already doing its job before you finished reminding yourself that it’s just a movie. Your heart races. Your muscles tense. Your breathing changes. That’s your body’s alarm system responding to a perceived threat. And here’s where it gets interesting… Sometimes we carry that same heightened alertness into everyday life. A sudden noise, an unexpected phone call, or someone’s tone of voice can set off a reaction that feels bigger than the moment. This spooky season, we’re talking about the things that go bump in your nervous system. Because understanding your body’s alarms is a whole lot more useful than being afraid of them. Tell me: Do you love being scared, or are you the person watching horror movies through your fingers? #NervousSystemAwareness #SpookySeason #YourCosmicDoula #SomaticAwareness #HalloweenTok
