Stay Grounded with Raj Jana 111. Raj Jana: Is It Safe to Feel Safe? How Childhood Trauma Makes Healing Feel Dangerous
Your body is screaming for rest, but the moment you try to slow down, every alarm in your system goes off. Why does stillness feel like a threat?
Because while you're chasing tangible solutions, your nervous system is running on an invisible map—one created when you were 3 years old. A map that says: the world is dangerous, don't let your guard down. And that map is keeping you sick.
Most people don't realize that safety itself feels dangerous. The moment symptoms improve, you're waiting for them to come back. The moment you start to relax, panic sets in. This isn't self-sabotage. This is your nervous system operating on outdated programming—and it's triggering something called Cell Danger Response at the cellular level.
In this episode, you'll discover:
• Why your nervous system learned that feeling safe is actually dangerous—and how this contradiction is manifesting in your body right now
• The unconscious "safety map" created between ages 0-7 that still dictates your healing capacity as an adult
• How Cell Danger Response keeps your cells in defense mode, blocking detox, energy production, and healing—no matter what supplements you take
• The survival strategies you developed (perfectionism, hyper-independence, people-pleasing) that saved you then but are destroying your health now
• Why you can't think, supplement, or protocol your way out of nervous system dysregulation
• The three pillars of true nervous system transformation: Awareness, Witnessing, and Integration
• Why relational medicine (being seen and held by safe others) is more powerful than any biohack
• How one woman raised her HRV from the 30s to the 90s in 90 days using this exact framework
