And I think they link together through the default mode network to just sort of put a pin into it. And when we realize that we're in this default mode network, we can separate the thoughts of our mind from the feeling of our body and realize, put your hand over it, feel it, really feel that alarm because that alarm is the younger version of you and it's driving your anxiety.

If you get rid of your worrisome thoughts, you're still going to be worried because you're still going to have this alarm in your system. But if you actually heal the alarm that's in your body, you're healing the root cause of what's creating the worries and the separation from yourself in the first place.

get ahead of the original fear, the original alarm that you had. So that's why worries tend to get worse and worse and worse and worse because they serve a purpose. They distract you away from the ultimate cause of your anxiety, which is this alarm that's stuck in your body. And then you do that since you were a child because when we're children, we can't escape.

If we have an abusive parent, if we have an alcoholic parent, if we have a parent who's severely mentally ill, we can't get out of there. So we are trapped in that.

And I think part of us, when we go through these anxious phases, goes through this emotional time travel where the amygdala, which has no sense of time, takes us back to that eight-year-old that's walking home from school wondering if mom's going to be drunk.

And if we realize that this is a feeling issue more than a thinking one, because we're so left hemisphere driven in this society, we think that we can think our way out of a feeling problem and we can't. And Huberman talks about that too. Like you can't fix the mind with the mind. You have to actually use the body to fix the mind, at least the subconscious mind.

Because that's the subconscious mind is what's running the show in the first place. So if you get to the root of the problem, you don't have to worry anymore because you've actually solved the root of the problem, which is this unresolved alarm, which is the younger version of you that didn't get the attention and connection and repair that they should have.
