Trapped in Survival Mode? Here's What's Actually Happening
Learn the physical symptoms of CPTSD and how trauma manifests in the body. Discover why your nervous system needs safety. Dr. Nicole Lepera explains how CPTSD impacts your physical health beyond emotional distress. If you experience unexplained exhaustion, dizziness, or nausea, this session clarifies how past trauma creates a physiological response. This is for anyone seeking to understand why their body feels constantly on edge. By identifying these physical symptoms, you can begin the process of retraining your nervous system. The goal is to move from a state of survival into a state of genuine safety. Understanding CPTSD as a bodily experience is the first step toward reclaiming your physical well-being and managing the chronic fatigue often associated with these conditions.
