Joy shouldn’t feel like a setup—but your nervous system might not know that yet.
In this episode of My Brain’s a Mess (And That’s Okay), we unpack the weird and uncomfortable experience of joy-induced anxiety. If you’ve ever had a good moment and immediately panicked about what might go wrong next—you’re not broken. You’re likely protecting yourself in a body that’s been blindsided before.
We explore how trauma and chronic stress wire us to expect the worst, even during moments of rest, relief, or happiness—and what it means to let good things in without panic.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why joy can feel like danger when you’ve lived in survival mode
How the nervous system reacts to positive emotions
Gentle ways to increase your capacity for goodness without bracing for loss
