About this episode
If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a simple task and wondering why your body won’t move even though your mind understands exactly what needs to be done, this is for you, because that moment is rarely about motivation and much more often about a nervous system that has quietly reached capacity. This episode explores why simple tasks can trigger a freeze response, how to distinguish between overload and threat responses, and introduces a practical two-minute practice to retrain your system. Sheridan, a somatic trauma therapist and yoga therapist, shares insights on managing nervous system responses through somatic practices and behavioral psychology, tailored for those dealing with work, money, and burnout.00:00 The Procrastination Struggle01:09 Understanding the Body's Response02:44 Introduction to Sustainable Success03:55 Why Simple Tasks Trigger Freeze Response04:18 Practical Tools and Courses05:30 The Two-Minute Practice08:56 Identifying Overload vs. Threat13:27 Conclusion and Further ResourcesReceive Support:The 5-week Energy Management Program: Work Doesn’t Have to Cost All Your EnergyOne-on-one somatic support for nervous-system-level patternsFree Resources and Reports:What if you're not the problem?
