What’s the difference between overwhelm and activation?

Written By Luana Rose

It's a very real thing to be scared of intense emotions and bodily sensations. I've found with the people I work with this is a common thing -- that feeling of a snowball affect like if I let myself cry I will never stop because there's so much sadness and pain in here -- it's scary to face it.

The problem is if we keep shelving our human emotions and intense experience it turns into accumulated stress which leads to overwhelm, serious health issues, feeling stuck in life and ultimately early death. In this video I offer real life examples of the difference between overwhelm and nervous system activation.
