Anxiety

Using Body Wisdom and Nervous System Regulation to find a Calm Body

Dread. Nervousness. Restlessness. Worry. Overwhelm.

It’s anxiety.

You’ve tried deep breaths and thinking more positive thoughts, but the anxiety is still there.

Body Wisdom

Come back to the wisdom of your body, especially your nervous system.

The nervous system signals to the rest of your body when there’s a threat to safety. But if you’ve experienced trauma, assault, abuse, or stress, your nervous system may not know how to find a calm state.

I use the Polyvagal Theory, mindfulness, and inner child work to help your find the root cause of the anxiety and learn to manage it.

Polyvagal Theory

  • Learn the states of your nervous system and how to manage them

  • Find a breathwork practice that works

  • Discover your nervous system’s calm state, fight or flight state, and dissociative state

Mindfulness

  • Explore what’s going on in your body

  • Practice body scans and checking in with your body

  • Learn to ground into the present moment

Inner Child Work

  • Discover the root of your anxiety

  • Explore core wounds and triggers

  • Find practices to soothe and calm the nervous inner child
