🔥 Stress & The Body

Stress isn’t just personal, it’s systemic. Capitalism, patriarchy, and cultural norms have trained you to override your body. To ignore the pain. Swallow the tears. Push through the exhaustion. Keep performing. You were shaped by intergenerational trauma, shame-based parenting, and a culture that rewards performance, productivity, and self-abandonment – while punishing truth and authentic self-expression.

That stress in your body? It’s unprocessed grief. Suppressed anger. Emotional pain you were never allowed to feel. This is what happens when you’re stuck in survival – and your body has no way out. 

At Beyond Psychology we don’t teach you how to “manage” stress. We help you get out of survival mode, and help you heal what’s underneath it.
