In today’s fast-paced and often overwhelming world, many people are living in a constant state of stress, anxiety, exhaustion, and emotional burnout—without realizing their nervous system may be stuck in survival mode.

In this special panel discussion, Dr. Delvena Thomas and Maliya Smith, MS, LPC, CKYT 200, join us to explore what happens when the body and mind remain in a prolonged state of fight, flight, freeze, or overwhelm—and, more importantly, how we can begin to move toward greater calm, safety, and emotional balance.

Together, we’ll discuss nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, healing from chronic overwhelm, and practical tools that can help us feel more grounded and at peace—even when the world around us feels chaotic.

Topics Include:

• Understanding fight, flight, freeze, and survival mode
• Signs your nervous system may be overwhelmed
• The connection between stress, emotions, and the body
• Nervous system regulation and grounding techniques
• Building emotional resilience during uncertain times
• Creating healthier responses to everyday stress
• Practical tools for cultivating more calm, balance, and peace
