If you’ve noticed you have far less tolerance lately for chaos, mixed signals, unnecessary drama, or relationships that require constant management, this episode is for you. Vanessa Bennett explores how prolonged upheaval changes the nervous system - why adaptation can keep you functioning, but isn’t the same thing as healing - and how “resilience” can quietly become chronic self-abandonment. We talk about allostatic load, post-crisis clarity, and why losing capacity for avoidable chaos isn’t always hardening - it can be the psyche finally refusing what it once over-accommodated. The invitation is to treat your life force as precious and rebuild around stability, honesty, and mutuality.For educational purposes only.
