About this episode

This episode discusses how uncertainty affects the nervous system and offers strategies to manage fear and overthinking.

Uncertainty can be one of the most activating experiences for the nervous system — especially when you’re living with chronic neuroplastic symptoms. In this episode, Christie Uipi, LCSW, and Alyssa Heskin, LCSW, explore why the brain interprets uncertainty as danger, how that drives fear and overthinking, and most importantly, what you can do to stop these unhelpful cycles.
