Show Notes
Ever find yourself reacting way more strongly than the situation seems to warrant—and then wondering what's wrong with you? This episode unpacks the real reason emotional overreactions happen—and it's not because you're "too sensitive" or broken. It's because your brain is wired to protect you. We'll explore what emotional spirals really are, why your reactions are often rooted in the past, and how to spot the invisible patterns that keep you stuck. Plus, I'll share a powerful 10-second tool you can use to stop spiraling in the moment and start responding with clarity and calm. This is the conversation I wish everyone could hear.
