Ever had an emotional reaction that felt way bigger than the situation? Like your body hit the panic button, and you’re not sure why?
In this short and snack-sized episode of Messy Minded, Jess explores the limbic system — the emotional part of the brain involved in trauma, fear, memory, emotional regulation, and survival responses. We’ll talk about why the limbic system reacts the way it does, how it stores old emotional patterns, and how to start healing trauma gently through self-regulation, nervous system care, and patterned safety.
