Anxiety is a multi-layered phenomenon. It’s also overdetermined — many different experiences and combinations of experiences can be labeled anxiety.
One aspect of anxiety is the relationship between how we are living our life and our true feelings.
This could look like trying to keep a parent or employer happy or being in a relationship that isn't working for you.
Living in this state of nonalignment in one or more areas of your life can provoke anxiety. The anxiety sits on top of the true feelings which, if felt fully, would demand massive action on our own behalf.
In this episode, I dig deeper into this aspect of anxiety and I share how you can begin to work with experiences of anxiety to heal your trauma and come back to your true self.
“We have our natural sufficient life force energy — our true self — and through different traumatic experiences, whether it's messages such as “settle down and be good” or big traumas that happen in our lives, we come to not be present with ourselves.
We tamp down our energy, we dissociate, we numb out, and we do whatever we need to do to not be present, which means we're not being true to ourselves.”
