When Good Things Feel Unsafe (Real People, Raw Healing Series)
Fri Jun 06 2025
Ever feel like you’re doing everything right—you’re aware, you’re healing, you're even making progress—and then suddenly… you shut down?The good thing starts, and your system slams on the brakes. You go numb. You feel “gray.”You’re not broken. You’re stuck in a nervous system protection pattern—and this episode is for you.
In this powerful live coaching conversation, returning guest and entrepreneur Isa Gautschi shares what it feels like to hit that emotional flatline—even when life is technically fine. Together, we explore why shutdown happens, how it often shows up when things are safe (not just scary), and how to begin shifting out of it.
We also break down:
The SHRINK response and how it keeps you trapped in perfectionism, avoidance, and overthinking
What to do when your system sees good things as a threat
Why you can’t “just take action” (and why that’s not the problem)
How to begin dissolving patterns that keep you stuck—and take aligned steps forward
👉 Want to learn the exact tools to break these patterns and build capacity to move forward—even when it’s hard?Check out my Meet Yourself course at drandreamoore.com and use code PODCAST for special listener pricing.
