I agree 100% with you that the anxiety/alarm is in the body….I’ve been saying to my doctor for years “I’m not worried or thinking about anything in particular, my panic is in my body. It comes seemingly from nowhere.”. They always say cognitive therapy is the best solution but it feels like lying to myself….how can I believe what I don’t believe. I do know where it is in my body, like a hard black thing in my heart, chest lungs.” But I don’t know how to be with it as u suggest, I’ve tried guided meditation, yoga, etc etc…all help a bit but my body just refills itself with alarm as if from a bottomless well when those activities end…
I felt very Anxious today on my way to the Dentist. But it was my Alarm/Anxiety I was feeling, bc I recognize the familiarity from my body. I also felt like a loss child, scared, confused, and wanting to have someone next to me. But, I have to say I Thank you a million times over, for helping me understand that I am not what I feel about myself, I’m reading your book, and I salute you and hope to hug you one day!!!❤🎉
You are the best!! Can’t wait for your book in August-September ❤. I’m at that point in my healing where I suspected it was somatic in my body and I found you 🙏
As I listened to the rest of the podcast I was like screaming yes! This is truth. When I’m not anxious the last bloody thing I want is to dare think about it as I fear it more than anything on the planet. But would I perhaps have more access to releasing it when in a good state of mind (or body I should say)…I don’t know. Is there a piece in this of lack of trust in oneself? How do I feel like the adult? anxiety does make me feel like a powerless child, 30 yr old or 50 year old…the feeling is the same no matter the age.
I got stressed out because men have not made me feel appreciated or safe. I always feel like im going to be replaced. Husband talks about threesomes and trying to convince me im closet gay. When all I did was share my fantasy with him it was a FANTASY. Now years later im so bummed out. My body got put into such alarm, my shoulder muscles look unrecognizable and ugly... They're so tense and I felt that energy collecting in my body. When my kids ask me for something my shoulders tense up, but I know that's normal, it's justi hate how they can never feel comfortable to go and ask their father for anything... I feel all this burden like im constantly carrying such a heavy load. Most ppl don't wanna look into my eyes because I always look like im on the verge of crying.
Objecting without contracting, I need to do this. I had anxiety today and just was comparing my life to everyone and feeling anxious Is there a book about this? Or coping mechanism? Also I’m alone so I have nobody to talk to also
My new book, the second edition of ANXIETY RX (aka THE ANXIETY PRESCRIPTION in the UK) talks about objecting without contracting in detail. Book available for presale on Amazon now for Sept 17 2024 Release date.
What if you can't feel the alarm in your body? What if it's difficult to feel things in your body? This is where I struggle. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Love the picture behind you! Great visual for “alarm” ❤
Please do a video on your coping mechanisms eg breathing and do some lessons for us
Amazing

My anxiety is in my tight throat and fast heart beat. Interesting that as a child and teen i was "strangled" by 2 males.
How often should I feel the Alarm? Should I be connected to it 24/7 or just notice it when my anxiety is bad?
