How Your Brain Rewrites Stress Responses

20 Sep 2025

Description

Old injuries don't just leave physical scars — they rewire your stress system, making everyday situations feel more threatening than they really are Stress hormones act like fuel that keeps fear and pain responses locked in place, which helps explain why anxiety and chronic pain often linger Trauma survivors who recover better use brain networks more efficiently, allowing them to separate safe cues from real danger and avoid living in constant high alert Simple steps like improving sleep, getting morning sunlight, and gradually retraining your brain with safe exposures help reset stress circuits and restore calm Nutrition and energy support, including healthy carbohydrates and creatine, strengthen your brain's resilience and give you a better foundation for healing after trauma
