In this solo episode, we look at anxiety through the lens of primary pain: for some people, terror wasn’t a reaction to an event, it was the event. 

Drawing on clinical work and lived experience, we unpack how nervous systems organise whole lives to avoid re‑experiencing what once felt unsurvivable, how those protective “products” create secondary pain (anxiety, depression, codependency), and why regulation alone is necessary but not sufficient. 

We talk safety signaling, preparation before any deep work, and how to meet terror with reverence, pacing, and care, especially in developmental and complex trauma.

If you’ve ever felt a “fear of the fear,” or you work with clients who do, this conversation is for you.
