You're like I didn't want to be in my body.

I didn't want to like it.

I didn't like myself.

I wanted to run as far away as possible.

But self-compassion helps you say, okay, here I am.

I'm I've got this.

I'm gonna I'm I don't know my way through yet, but I'm gonna I'm gonna do it.

I'm gonna figure this out and it's okay that I'm here.

So talking with someone

activates that part and then you can start to benefit from the next steps.

So there was a lot of people I'm seeing kind of going straight to like stop ten or stop nine in their life because we all want to rush to the part where it feels better, of course.

And but the foundational groundwork is is how meaningful change lasts, I think.

Yeah, I think a lot of the time we equate like we dis decide that support has to mean offering a solution and has to be like cognitively talking it through.

And sometimes you just need to know I'm just I'm taking it out of my body and I'm placing it on the table and then we can just maybe watch something.

Um so you have to kind of decide how you want to tell someone what's going on and it just it's like bleeding the radiator or diffusing it the pressure slightly.

Um and

Yeah, for me it's really important that that if if someone is listening and they're supporting someone who's anxious, you don't need to tell them to think differently because actually like what you described there about doing a few deep breaths, that is actually a really good way because it's not trying to solve the anxiety.

It's meeting it where it is in the body and saying, Let's send a signal of safety to the body and then we can maybe talk about if you want to.

Um but I think

again, the the impetus for this book was so much focused on trying to solve it in the mind and through talking about it when like all that stuff in the body is is so important.
