125,000 of you found me in the last year because I started talking about the part of anxiety nobody addresses…your nervous system 🙄
And I understand why it resonates. Because most of us have spent years trying to think our way out of something that was never created by thinking.
I spent years doing the work. Reading the books. Sitting in the therapy chair. And still, the anxiety kept coming back. Because nobody was talking to the part of my body that was still waiting for the threat to be over.
Until I understood this: there are parts of you that learned the world wasn’t safe. Not necessarily from big dramatic trauma. Sometimes it was smaller than that. Being the kid who felt too much. Feeling like you had to earn your place in the room. Learning that your needs were inconvenient. Feeling like no matter what you did, it wasn’t quite enough.
And from that moment on, your nervous system remembered.
So now when something reminds it of that time… it sends you the signal. This might not be safe. And you avoid. The conversation. The opportunity. The relationship. The room full of people. And the avoidance feeds the anxiety instead of putting it out.

This is why mindset work alone will never be enough. You can spend years rewiring your thoughts and still feel it creeping back, because until your nervous system learns it is actually safe now, it will keep protecting you from a threat that already ended.
This is the work. Body first. Always.
