Why does your jaw hurt, but your legs feel fine?
We often dismiss body pain as just "general stress," but your body is actually much more precise than that.
It follows a biological logic. Different muscles tighten to protect against different specific threats.
The Jaw: The Gatekeeper. Often locks up when it feels unsafe to speak or express needs.
The Shoulders: The Burden Carrier. Tenses when you feel over-responsible or are physically holding yourself together due to loose ligaments.
The Gut: The Danger Sensor. Shuts down digestion when the brain senses a threat in the room.
Your tension isn't random. It’s a map. And once you know what your body is protecting, you can stop fighting it and start signaling safety.
