When trust is broken, your nervous system doesn’t forget — it adapts.

In this episode, Dr Nat Green explores what really happens when trust is disrupted — not just emotionally, but physiologically.

Because trust isn’t just relational.

It’s something your nervous system experiences as safety.

And when that safety is compromised, your system adapts in ways you may not even realise.

You may find yourself more “on,” more controlling, more self-reliant… without understanding why.

🌿 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why trust is not just emotional — it’s neurological and physiological
• How your system registers “this isn’t safe”
• The subtle signs of nervous system activation after broken trust
• Why you may start overthinking, controlling, and holding more
• The difference between:
  👉 “I need to trust more”
  👉 vs “My system doesn’t feel safe yet”
• How to begin restoring safety without forcing change

🔥 Key Insight:

It’s not that you don’t trust.

It’s that your system doesn’t feel safe to.

🧠 Notice this:

• Are you more “on” than usual?
• Are you holding more responsibility?
• Are you finding it harder to switch off?

Your system may be responding to a perceived loss of safety.

🌿 Gentle ways to support your system:

• Slow your breath
• Soften your body
• Let something be unfinished
• Reduce the need to control everything
