Have you ever been told you’re too sensitive or that you “feel too much”?
If so, this episode of Healing Beyond the Symptoms is for you.

Dr. Leah Hahn,D.C. chiropractor and functional wellness doctor at Body in Balance Wellness Center in Golden, CO, explores the science and spirituality of sensitivity — and why empathic and highly sensitive people often experience nervous system overwhelm.

She explains how empaths literally absorb emotional energy from others and how Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) — as identified in research by psychologist Elaine Aron — have a genetic and neurological trait known as sensory processing sensitivity. These individuals process emotions, sensations, and social cues more deeply, making them highly intuitive but also prone to fatigue, anxiety, and burnout.

Dr. Hahn shares her personal journey as a highly sensitive practitioner and offers tangible strategies to help empaths, deep thinkers, and sensitives reclaim their energy and regulate their nervous systems. You’ll learn how Network Spinal care helps transform overwhelm into resilience — allowing sensitivity to become a gift, not a drain.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The difference between empaths and highly sensitive people (HSPs)
• The neuroscience of sensitivity: mirror neurons, serotonin, and stress response
• Why deep thinkers experience physical tension and mental fatigue
• How Network Spinal helps sensitive systems regulate safely
• Daily nervous system rituals to restore calm and balance

If you’ve ever felt like you “feel too much,” this episode will remind you that sensitivity isn’t a flaw — it’s your brilliance.

Have you ever built a life that looked perfect on paper — but deep down, something just didn’t feel right?

Maybe your job, your relationship, or your lifestyle should make you happy — but your body says otherwise.

In this episode of Healing Beyond the Symptoms, Dr. Leah Hahn, D.C. and Dr. Scott Hahn, D.C. of Body in Balance Wellness Center in Golden, CO, shares the story of “Jane,” a woman whose life looked successful on the outside but whose body carried years of unprocessed stress, guilt, and trauma.

As her care progressed, Jane’s spine revealed more than just structural tension — it reflected emotional wounds, family trauma, and the weight of unspoken pain. Through gentle, nervous system-based chiropractic care, Jane began to release years of stored protection, rediscovering her identity, and reconnecting with her body’s truth.

Dr. Leah and Dr. Scott discuss how passive tension in the spine often signals long-held emotional charge, why “safety” is the prerequisite for healing, and how Network Spinal care helps restore coherence, adaptability, and connection between the mind and body.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why the body often reveals misalignment before the mind admits it
• The difference between structural and emotional tension
• How trauma, guilt, and repression manifest in the spine
• What it means when your body starts saying, “This isn’t working anymore”
• How gentle, nervous system-based care creates lasting transformation

You’ve unpacked your story, processed your thoughts, maybe even spent years in therapy—but something still feels stuck. Why? Because healing doesn’t stop at the mind.

In this episode of Healing Beyond the Symptoms, Dr. Leah Hahn D.C., chiropractor and functional wellness doctor at Body in Balance Wellness Center in Golden, CO, explores the powerful link between the mind, the nervous system, and the body’s patterns of holding stress and trauma.

Dr. Hahn explains how tension in the body—whether in the jaw, neck, hips, or spine—often reflects unresolved emotional and physiological experiences. She shares how these “holding patterns” create persistent feelings like anxiety, overwhelm, or disconnection even after years of mental work.

You’ll also learn how nervous system-focused care, like Network Spinal, helps the body safely release stored stress without re-traumatization—creating more calm, confidence, and adaptability.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why therapy can feel incomplete without including the body
• How emotional tension shows up as physical holding patterns
• The five core tension patterns and what emotions they represent
• Why “a calm body equals a calm mind”
• How Network Spinal care repatterns the nervous system for lasting peace
