12 | Trauma Series- Why Am I so exhausted & What is a trauma response?

Why Am I So Exhausted & What Is a Trauma Response?
Does life feel like a never-ending uphill climb, leaving you drained and defeated? If you’ve experienced trauma, this exhaustion isn’t just in your head—it’s rooted in your body, mind, and spirit. Trauma rewires your nervous system, leaving you stuck in survival mode. But here’s the best part: you don’t have to live this way.  
 
In this episode of Reviving Christian Families, we’re diving deep into the connection between trauma and chronic exhaustion.
You’ll discover:  ✦ Why trauma survivors often feel physically and emotionally depleted—and what hypervigilance and nervous system dysregulation have to do with it.  ✦ How unacknowledged emotional labor and muscle tension drain your energy daily.  ✦ The role of cortisol, adrenaline, and the body’s fight, flight, freeze, or fawn responses in keeping you stuck.  ✦ Practical, faith-led steps to calm your mind and body, including grounding techniques, prayer, and small daily shifts.  
We’ll also unpack what trauma responses look like in real life—whether it’s snapping at loved ones, avoiding conflict, or feeling paralyzed by decisions—and how God’s design allows for healing and restoration through awareness, support, and His truth.
