Anxiety is supposed to be an ally. It is a primal emotional experience that is supposed to help you avoid danger. It forecasts a potential future, but in the modern world, that future may not exist. The dirty trick of anxiety is often the worrying about worrying about worrying about worrying about worry. Stopping the cycle through increased understanding of the biological systems involved in anxiety and learning how to change the bodies reactions begins the process of turning anxiety back into an ally instead of an enemy you have to fight.

We hold our anxiety and stress in our body. We feel tension, gut problems, hot flashes, disrupted sleep and more. I work with anxiety and stress by helping individuals learn and develop tools to re-regulate their nervous system. When we have a coherent and fluid nervous system, we can do difficult things without feeling paralyzed by overwhelming fear.
