We Understand Our Anxiety. So Why Are We Sill Anxious?
Ever had a brilliant breakthrough in therapy, understood exactly WHY you feel the way you do… and then found yourself panicking over the same thing three days later? 🙃
Welcome to the fascinating gap between knowing you’re safe and actually feeling safe.
Our mind may have written a beautiful report explaining our anxiety.
Our body, meanwhile, hasn’t even opened the email. 😂
This video explores the neuroscience behind this disconnect, including Bessel van der Kolk’s work on trauma and why the brain’s language centre can go quiet when emotional distress takes over.
It also explores emotional release, why understanding alone doesn’t always relieve tension, and why combining top-down approaches (the mind) with bottom-up approaches (the body) can be so powerful.
And here’s the beautiful part: you’ll discover a simple, free, 60-second breathing and movement practice you can try today, with guidance on how to approach it safely.
💜 This isn’t about choosing between talking and feeling.
It’s about understanding that healing can happen on more than one level.
Because sometimes, you don’t need another 47-page analysis of why you’re anxious.
Sometimes, your body needs a little help catching up with what your mind already knows.
