So what I usually do is get people to put their hand over that area and breathe into it and just stay with it for a second.
Because the woo-woo part of it is that's younger Chris. That's the part of you that had something that wasn't quite resolved when you were younger. And again, not everything is trauma, but you're a sensitive person. Sensitive people often download stuff into their body and it shows up there. And then we get into this illusion that we can solve it by thinking about it.

No, it's not a thinking problem. It's a feeling problem. So, so often the bottom-up approach is to, can we really allow ourselves to feel that hot red sensation? And notice that our mind is going to go nuts trying to pull us out with worry, trying to start saying, oh, let's do this. Or this could be a reason, that could be a reason.

Because it's a childhood coping mechanism to leave the alarm and go into your mind. A lot of people that I see and have been in therapy for many, many years, they don't even know they have alarm in their body. They just assume it's in their mind and that's the reason why they haven't gotten better because you're treating a symptom. The worries are a symptom. The alarm is the underlying cause.

It'll help. It'll help for sure. There's things that I create for my anxious people and they're called hypno-meditations. So what I do is I take your particular alarm And we feed that to you in a way that we get you into this relaxed state, relax your jaw, you know, feel the surface pushing up on you with equal and opposite force that you're pushing down on it. The surface is supporting you.

Now, can you feel that area and allow it to be there? And then often what I will do is I'll take people into the best part of their lives. What was the time that you felt amazing? You felt great. It's like, well, maybe when you first started club promoting or something like that, you really felt like you're on top of the world. Now, there's a feeling sense that goes along with that.

So what I would do with you is I'd say, okay, grab that feeling sense that felt really good. Close your eyes, relax your shoulders, relax your jaw. Just really get into that feeling sense of this is really amazing. I'm really loving this. And then we go back into that place in the solar plexus, that red hot place, and we sort of go back and forth between the two.
