Meet Your Nervous System: Your Inner Alarm System

Your nervous system constantly scans for danger.
When triggered, it responds using:

• Fight: Anger, control, frustration
• Flight: Overworking, anxiety, escape
• Freeze: Numbness, shutdown, brain fog
• Fawn: People-pleasing, over-apologizing, shrinking

These are not overreactions. They are survival intelligence — especially common in those healing from trauma, burnout, or chronic emotional invalidation.

You Can’t Logic Your Way Out of a Dysregulated Body

That’s why at Mind Rewire, we use trauma-informed tools that speak to your body, not just your thoughts:

• Somatic therapy & breathwork to calm overwhelm
• CBT & NLP to shift internal narratives
• Vagus nerve activation to restore a sense of safety
• UNTANGLE to gently unpack patterns through self-reflection

So What Can You Do When You Feel “Too Much”?

At Mind Rewire, our clients learn that healing isn’t about shrinking their emotions — but about creating space to understand them.

• Pause and ask: “Is this reaction familiar?”
• Validate your body: “I feel unsafe right now, and that’s okay.”
• Regulate before you explain: Breathe, ground, or move.
• Seek support, not suppression: You’re allowed to not do this alone.
