Lesson Overview

25.28 – When You Flinch at Loud Voices or Sudden Movements: Your body remembers danger even after your mind says it’s over. A slammed door, raised tone, or sudden movement can trigger survival instincts before logic catches up. This isn’t overreacting—it’s your nervous system protecting you from past harm. Calming those reflexes takes practice, not shame. When startled, pause, breathe, and remind yourself, “I’m safe now.” Over time, your brain relearns to separate old threats from current reality. Gentle environments, predictable routines, and grounding techniques train safety back into your body. The goal isn’t to stop reacting overnight—it’s to teach your body that peace can be trusted again. Healing replaces alarm with awareness.
