Um and a lot of the time
where people aren't aware of the role of the nervous system and how it's not um it's not a personality.
It's it's a system that is reacting to life.
Um and it's not necessarily something we can
um, negate or hack our way out of.
So I felt like it I really felt like even though there's so much awareness around anxiety now and people know, okay, I I can tell that I'm anxious.
I don't need to be told, Well, what even is anxiety?
w we were still finding it hard, um, collectively to to move through it, to understand it, to relate to it and to overcome it.
People were um, I suppose just saying, Oh, I'm an anxious person now, that's just me forever and what I really wanted with this book was to really let people know
I am someone for whom anxiety was I was crippled by it.
I was very physically and mentally unwell.
I couldn't work.
I was living my life from one panic attack to the next.
And through everything that I did or should have done in that order in this book, had I had that awareness, I am now on the other side where it absolutely, of course I have a stress response, you know, where I'm a human being, but that anxiety is no longer a feature.
It is not just like defining my
Choices and decisions and that kind of thing.
And I really do feel like I've overcome it.
Like I was a very anxious person, and I I don't even think my friends would describe me as that anymore.
Well, I was completely missing that point entirely because I was looking for a reason to justify why I was so unwell and I was looking at someone else, like my friends, who had bigger windows of tolerance and could handle way more and thinking, Oh my god, I need to get a grip or I was comparing myself to
People in far worse situations thinking that like I don't have a right to feel this way, but your nervous system doesn't give a hoot about what's going on with someone else.
