Anxiety and Panic Attacks
When your autonomic nervous system detects threat or danger, it reacts in attempt to help keep you safe by mobilizing (FIGHT / FLIGHT), or immobilizing (FREEZE).
…but what if your nervous system is either reacting as if you are in danger when you’re NOT…
…or reacting to potential danger in a bigger way than you can effectively manage?
This is what we call “ANXIETY”
People who struggle with anxiety spend far more time in fight/flight/freeze states than they spend in feelings of safety in the present moment. This is called “sympathetic arousal” in your nervous system.
And this takes a major toll on your physical and emotional self.
Chronic sympathetic arousal taxes your emotional and physical self and increases your risk of developing of both acute and chronic illness.
