How Toxic Relationships Affect Your Body: Nervous System Regulation and The Micah Miller Case with Shea Fairbanks

Attorney Michele Locke examines the disturbing story of pastor John Paul Miller and his late wife, Micah Miller, as portrayed in the Netflix docuseries. Michele discusses allegations outlined in a federal indictment, including cyberstalking, harassment, tracking and surveillance, financial interference, threats involving intimate images, and alleged false statements to federal agents.

Beyond the headlines, Michele explores how prolonged relationship trauma and coercive control can affect the body. She discusses the physical and emotional changes she observed in Micah’s story while reflecting on her own experience of deteriorating health during a toxic marriage.

Michele is joined by human-performance and breathwork coach Shea Fairbanks, who explains how chronic stress affects the nervous system, breathing, sleep, weight, energy, and emotional regulation.
