Trauma left me anxious, hypervigilant, and depleted. I thought it was "just who I was," until I discovered the truth: a dysregulated nervous system is not a permanent identity. It's a state — and states can change. With compassion, knowledge, and small daily practices, you can begin to heal. This book blends science with lived experience — but above all, it is written from a trauma-informed place.

Every era has its challenges, but ours seem to be majoring in anxiety. Bombarded (via screens) by constant global conflicts, rancorous politics, and church scandals, today we endure seemingly endless external stressors. The reasons are easy to find—division in politics and the pews, caring for kids or aging parents, and the rapid impact of social media on our psyches, to name a few. While exploring these origins may hold some benefit, Sara Billups is concerned with right now: How do we live well in the presence of pervasive personal and collective anxiety?

It's 2 AM and you're awake again, replaying that conversation from dinner. Was their tone different? Why did they check their phone during the movie? Does "sounds good" without an exclamation point mean they're pulling away? If you've ever found yourself trapped in an overthinking loop, analyzing every text message like a detective solving a crime, you're not alone. You're not "too sensitive" or "crazy"—you're a thoughtful person trying to find safety in love, but your mind has turned your relationship into a courtroom where you're both judge and defendant. The constant worry about your ...

As a woman used to traveling and living the high life in Bangkok, Leanne Shirtliffe recognized the constant fodder for humor while pregnant with twins in Asia's sin city. But in spite of deep-fried bug cuisine and nurses who cover newborn bassinets with plastic wrap, Shirtliffe manages to keep her babies alive for a year with help from a Coca-Cola deliveryman, several waitresses, and a bra factory. Then she and her husband return home to the isolation of North American suburbia.

What if the reason you struggle to receive more is not a lack of discipline, positivity, or worthiness, but a nervous system that does not feel safe enough to hold it yet? You may want more money, love, rest, support, peace, or opportunity. But when something arrives, your body braces. You overthink it, minimize it, push it away, feel guilty, or wait for it to disappear. You may have tried affirmations and mindset work, only to remain anxious, exhausted, and stuck in survival mode.

You were never taught how to communicate. You were taught how to survive. If you swallow your words to keep the peace… if you replay conversations at 2 a.m., saying everything you couldn’t say in the moment… if speaking up feels dangerous and staying silent feels like slowly disappearing… this book was written for you. The truth is, your communication habits are not character flaws. They are survival skills you learned as a child, still running long after the emergency ended. And here is the good news: healthy communication is a skill. And skills can be learned. Drawing on seventeen...

You have done the hard work. The relationship is stable, the damage has been repaired, and the worst moments are behind you. And yet something is missing — a closeness you can feel the outline of but cannot quite reach. Safety and intimacy are not the same thing. Safety is the necessary ground. Intimacy is what you build on it. And for the many couples who have arrived at some stable place, the question of how to move from one to the other is the one nobody talks about. Safe Intimacy is written for that space. Drawing on Attachment Theory, Somatic Therapy, and years of research into how ...

A simple mistake turns into hours of overthinking. Someone’s tone changes, and your whole body reacts before you even understand why. For many women, these moments can feel confusing, exhausting, and hard to control. But being triggered does not mean you are broken. It often means your nervous system has learned to stay on alert. The Untriggered Woman was created to help you understand what is happening inside you, calm your body before emotions take over, and slowly return to the version of yourself who feels grounded, steady, and safe.

You’re not “too sensitive" or secretly bad. You’re not broken because you smile when you’re uncomfortable, say yes when your body means no, or perform being easygoing while resentment slowly eats you alive. You may be fawning. For anyone who has ever been praised for being low maintenance, agreeable, chill, selfless, mature, empathetic, or “so easy to be around” while privately feeling exhausted, angry, unseen, or disconnected from their own body, Tired of Being ‘Good’ offers a nervous system map back to yourself.
