Anxiety isn’t just in your head—it lives in the body, in our patterns, and in our past. In this episode of Unravel, I walk you through 3 science-backed steps to help you break the cycle of anxiety and return to a sense of groundedness in your body, your relationships, and your life.
Step 1: Drop-In
Step 2: Discern
Step 3: Disarm
We explore:
• How anxiety shows up somatically—tight chest, shallow breath, restlessness
• The role of the amygdala, neuroplasticity, and inherited sensitivity
• A simple, powerful breath practice to reset your nervous system
• Why emotional boundaries are essential for nervous system regulation
• The neuroscience of walking and how it mirrors EMDR
• How social connection and co-regulation calm the release of tachykinins
This episode is for anyone who’s felt the inner buzz of anxiety and wants to experience it in a more compassionate, embodied way.
Let this be your reminder: you don’t have to live in a constant survival mode.
