The Social Hangover
A Somatic Guide to Calming Post-Event Rumination, Ending the Replay Loop, and Reclaiming Your Social BatteryBy Tarun Mankar
Length3h 3m
About this audiobook
Do social gatherings leave you physically drained, with an aching jaw and an exhausted mind? When you return home, does your brain launch into an agonizing midnight autopsy of everything you said?
The social hangover is not introversion or social awkwardness. It is an autonomic survival state caused by sensory saturation, social masking, and an unbudgeted nervous system.
In this compassionate somatic manual, Tarun Mankar reveals why your brain replays conversations like a courtroom trial and delivers immediate physical protocols to discharge trapped tension, disarm cringe attacks, and set unhurried departure anchors. Learn how to stop performing, pace your social battery, and walk into any room with calm, unshakeable sovereignty.
