When you’ve been strong for too long, stillness can start to feel like shutdown.
You want peace—but your body stays tense, your mind goes quiet, and your heart feels far away.
You’re not broken. You’re in freeze mode—your nervous system’s way of protecting you from overwhelm.
In Be Still, But Don’t Stay Stuck (PDF), author Cashmeira Henderson, founder of Selah Psychology, combines faith, psychology, and neuroscience to show how God designed the body to rest and restore. Through the story of Sarah, a woman learning to move again after years in survival mode, you’ll discover how small, gentle steps can awaken hope and healing.
Inside, you’ll learn:
Why emotional numbness and fatigue are protection, not failure.
How to calm your body using simple, science-based grounding practices.
The biblical truth that stillness is holy—but it was never meant to be a prison.
How to reconnect with God, your body, and the present moment after trauma.
Blending story, Scripture, and science, Be Still, But Don’t Stay Stuck is a tender guide for anyone ready to move from shutdown to peace. Perfect for women of faith seeking trauma recovery, emotional healing, or nervous system regulation rooted in biblical wisdom.
