So we can help fix some of those symptoms, but you're never going to heal from anxiety just by fixing your mind.

Absolutely. And that takes practice. The thing that makes anxiety so difficult to recover from is there's nothing that really helps it right away. Like if there was something that helped it right away, we would just do that. But I find breathing exercises, physiological sigh is really great. Going outside, moving your eyes back and forth, it dampens the amygdala response.

Getting into your body, trying to move your attention from internal pain to something external, like you can observe. But again, especially if you've worn this anxious groove for decades sometimes, it's not going to feel better right away.

So that's why I make these meditations for people so that they get into their unconscious mind, their subconscious mind, and we start changing things at a deeper subconscious level, at the level that the anxiety itself is encoded. Because these superficial things, like when I see people on Instagram about, oh, do this breathing technique for anxiety or do this tapping technique.

Now, it works, but in a way, we're kind of dangling people over the gates of hell because we're giving them these instantaneous little bouts of relief. But we're never really dealing with the underlying cause, which is this alarm that's stuck in our systems. That's why, and that's why anxiety is so hard to treat.

The other way, the reason why it's so hard to treat is because since you're a child, the worry has seemed to be protective for you. The worry, when you go into your head, you don't feel the alarm in your body so much. So you train yourself to worry and it becomes your coping strategy. So when I, when I try and help heal, heal you from anxiety, it sounds like a really, I heal you from anxiety. Yeah.

When I help heal anxiety, I'm kind of taking away your special friend because your special friend, when you were a child, worry was all you had. Going into your head and escaping the alarm in your body was all you had. So there's a real resistance for people to actually heal from anxiety. And that's what I find so kind of frustrating. But I tell people when I work with them,
