How I Stopped Fighting Anxiety and Started Healing and Achieving

Trying to control my anxiety and the triggers made everything worse for me. Here’s a bit of what I did differently.

It makes sense why you would try and control the anxiety…the triggers.

You probably just want to live your life and not have anxiety ruin, and rule your life and relationships.

I remember back in the day being triggered all the time and by what seemed like the stupidest things…for example, women wearing white pants.

My therapist was not at all helpful when his response was “those poor women in white pants.”

Back then I was mortified of the “stupid” triggers.

Today I know triggers are nothing to be ashamed about.

But they are something that needs attention and healing.

So a couple of thoughts for people who have tried so hard to control anxiety.

Although anxiety no longer controls me…at the same time, as I go after my dream life, more trauma comes up to say hello! pay attention to me and I can feel anxious.

KAVA

This week my naturopath doc told me about Kava.

It’s one thing had never tried (and it feels like I have tried everything!) She said it was like taking valium.

And during one recent time of anxiety the Kava tincture worked wonders almost instantly.

It’s about the nastiest stuff I’ve ever tasted LOL. Maybe there are other products that taste better. She also said you can drink yogi Kava Stress Release tea. I bought it but haven’t tried it yet.

RELGIOUS TRAUMA

And during another recent time Kava did absolutely nothing for me.

If you have religious trauma (typically from childhood especially ages 0-3) where you learned more about sinning and hell, than you learned about love and acceptance, when you are receiving a message from the voice of love it, can cause a lot of anxiety…for some of us it’s a foreign language and feeling in the body.

As crazy as it sounds…this voice of love (which is what we are longing for) instead of judgment can cause massive anxiety in our body.

Dr. Van der Kolk – Best-Selling Trauma Research Author says that “For real change to take place, the BODY needs to learn the danger has passed and people need to be aware of their sensations in the body.”

When Kava didn’t work, I used embodiment practices and energy clearing to release stored memories and emotions from the Divine message I was receiving.

Triggers are something that you need to learn how to give compassion, love, and tenderness to.

Emotions/feelings need to be felt and released from the body.

And…in order to do this, many of us must be in the presence of someone who holds the space so you can learn how to do this.

I did not learn this in therapy, and I had a few different therapists…they were all about CBT and the mind.

Versus releasing the pain from the body.

My life didn’t change radically until I experienced energy healing and embodiment work.
