What if the very things you do to manage your health are actually keeping you stuck?

In this episode of Building Resilience, Leah uncovers the common habits that may be making you sick, like constantly talking about symptoms, compulsive Googling, avoiding activities, or delaying joy. These everyday patterns can keep your nervous system locked in protection mode, fueling chronic pain and stress. The good news? With awareness and small, practical shifts, you can begin to rewire your system toward safety, calm, and healing.

We’ll explore:

• Why symptom-focused talk and reassurance seeking backfire

• How avoidance and hyper-monitoring shrink your world

• The power of micro-habits that retrain your brain toward safety

• Why joy and gratitude are essential to nervous system healing
