When you decide to step off the emotional rollercoaster and detox from relationship drama, your nervous system experiences physical withdrawal. Your brain doesn't pause to reason—it immediately boots up your DEOS: your Default Emotional Operating System. In this episode, building on our work in The Drama Detox, we explore why you can't always "think" your way out of a physical panic response or somatic shutdown. Learn how each DEOS style (Anxious, Dismissive-Avoidant, Fearful-Avoidant, and Secure) stores stress in the body during withdrawal, how to perform a Somatic Body Audit, and how to use body-based physical overrides to regulate your nervous system back to safety.
