You Can’t Pray Away a Dysregulated Nervous System—But You Can Heal With God

You Can’t Pray Away a Dysregulated Nervous System—But You Can Heal With God

Author: Jessica Hottle | Christian Life Coach, Spiritual Growth Mentor, Christian Mental Health Coach, Christian Counseling August 6, 2025 Duration: 15:00
I used to think peace was something I could force. If I just prayed harder, thought better, or pushed through, surely I’d feel normal again. But even in quiet rooms and calm moments, my body was buzzing. I couldn’t shake the edge, the restlessness, the sense that something was off. And for a while, I thought that meant I was the problem. But I’ve come to understand what felt like “too much” was actually my body asking for safety. In this episode, I'm talking about nervous system dysregulation, and why feeling overwhelmed doesn’t make you broken - it makes you a human who’s ready to heal. 

Rooting for you,
Jessica
