Feeling Politically Overwhelmed?

When was the last time you scrolled through the news without feeling your chest tighten?

If you're like millions of Americans, political anxiety isn’t just an idea—it’s a daily reality. From violent headlines to policies that impact your safety or values, the emotional cost of staying “informed” is taking a massive toll on our collective mental health.

This isn't just stress. This is political trauma, and it’s rewiring our nervous systems in real time.

The Hidden Cost of Staying Aware

You want to be informed. You want to care.
But at what cost?

  • Constant doomscrolling fuels nervous system dysregulation

  • Hypervigilance keeps your body in fight-or-flight

  • Emotional fatigue leads to burnout, irritability, and even hopelessness

Left unchecked, this kind of stress can erode your relationships, sleep, and overall ability to function.

The Political Trauma and Healing Workbook is not just a journal. It’s a trauma-informed, polyvagal-based toolkit designed to help you:

Calm anxiety with grounding exercises and breathwork
Process emotions with guided reflection prompts
Reclaim a sense of safety and purpose in a chaotic world
Learn how to regulate your nervous system when triggers hit

This workbook won’t change the headlines. But it will change your ability to face them without falling apart.
