Overview

The crisis is over. The deadline has passed. The divorce is final. The medical test came back negative. Logically, you know you are safe. But your body is still fighting a war that ended months ago. In Stress That Outlasts the Crisis, Alex D. Anderson explores the phenomenon of the ""Phantom Limb of Stress""-the exhaustion and anxiety that linger long after the actual threat has vanished. This book is a guide for the ""Watchman"" inside you who refuses to go off duty. It combines insights from somatic therapy and polyvagal theory to help you turn off the alarm and finally decompress. Inside, you will learn: The Silent Code: Why your nervous system prefers familiar danger to unfamiliar safety, and how to break the addiction to chaos. Mapping the Tremor: How to use interoception to locate where trauma is ""frozen"" in your body and release it. Closing the Loop: Why the brain hates ""Open Loops"" and how to signal to your biology that the event is truly finished. The Freeze Response: Understanding why you feel lazy or unmotivated when you are actually just stuck in a biological ""shutdown"". It is time to tell your body that the war is over. It is time to hang up the armor and just breathe.
