Episode notes
Panic Is An Informational Alarm
- Panic is an alarm signaling the nervous system feels unsafe rather than a personal defect.
- Treat panic as information to decode root causes instead of only suppressing symptoms.
Rock Bottom Rebuilt Her Approach
- Dr. Nicole Cain hit rock bottom in 2015 when standard functional and trauma treatments stopped helping her.
- That crisis forced her to deconstruct existing paradigms and rebuild a nervous-system–first approach.
Anxiety As Misplaced Fear Response
- Anxiety is a fear response outside the context of immediate danger and signals imbalance or lack of personal power.
- Trauma is reframed as adaptations when events overwhelm coping capacity, not only as pathology.
