SAFE ENOUGH

The Karen Kenney Show ·

2025/06/26

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I share a concept that I call, "safe enough" - which is a game-changing approach to working with our nervous system - in a world that can sometimes feel wicked scary.I break down how the main question our nervous system is always asking is, "Am I safe?"And then explore the different ways we often react to perceived physical and/or psychological threats – with trauma responses like fight, flight, freeze and fawn.The reality is, perfect safety isn't happening,

The Karen Kenney Show ·

2025/05/29

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, I dive into something we all might bump-up against: those little "death wish" moments in our lives where we're not taking the best care of ourselves. It all started with a crazy motorcycle ride I witnessed on 93 North, where this kid was weaving in and out of traffic at 120 miles an hour - totally reckless and dangerous! That got me thinking about how we all have our own versions of the ol’ "death wish.” Maybe it's ignoring medical advice, continuing
