How Cancel Culture Affects Our Nervous System (And What to Do About It)
Cancel culture isn’t just a social movement, it’s also tied to how our nervous system reacts to anger and stress. In this episode of the Raw Talks Podcast, Mark and Simba talk about how these emotions can build up in our bodies and how they get amplified when groups of people come together.
They also share how practices like TRE® (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises) can help release this stress and calm the nervous system, giving us a healthier way to respond.
The Nervous System’s Role in Collective Anger
Anger is a normal response, but when it goes unprocessed, it can affect us on a personal and group level. Mark and Simba explain how our nervous system reacts when we feel angry or stressed, which can lead to the intense reactions we see in cancel culture or when people blow the whistle on something.
This episode looks at how these triggers affect us and how we can begin to heal by understanding our nervous system.
Healing Anger and Stress with TRE®
One of the key takeaways from this episode is how TRE® can help us calm our nervous system and change how we react to anger. By using TRE®, we can release the stress stored in our bodies and break the cycle of reactive behavior. This helps us respond to difficult situations more calmly and with more understanding.
