But we're stuck in this kind of default loop where we can't get out of it. So I'm learning more ways now. that we actually become aware that we're in this default loop because there is a feeling to it. There is an alarm feeling to it. And how do we get ourselves out of it?

And on top of that, we have to actually spend some time in the default mode network where we learn all these negative things about ourselves or we can actually change it. We have to accept that default mode network. We have to accept that that's what happened to us and it keeps getting replayed like a broken record in our heads so that we can actually feel it and stay with it and then process it.

And once we process it, we're not locked into it anymore. There was a lot there.

I think what happens is that we have this alarm in our system. So we have this trauma that's too much for us to bear. I don't like using the word trauma too much, but You have this wounding, typically from our childhood, that's too much to bear. Typically, anxious people are sensitive. So there's this wounding, this alarm that lights up in our system that we're not even aware of.

And that's one of the first things that I treat people with anxiety is I say, get out of your head. The worries that are there, the only reason the worries are there is they're trying to pull your attention away from this alarm that's stuck in your body. That is one of the functions of worry.

So the worries tend to have to get worse and worse and worse and more intense to keep up their ability to keep you out of that alarm in your body. And really, once you see that alarm in your body is a version of your younger self. And believe me, as a medical doctor and a neuroscientist, it sounds so woo and I want to have a bit of a seizure when I say this.

But really, that alarm is this unresolved part of you that didn't get the repair that you needed when you were younger. And that energy is still stuck in you and it's still reverberating through your mind. So anxiety, one more thing. Anxiety is these worries of your mind. and then this alarm in your body, and they link together.
