At my worst, I couldn’t even let my parents go to the grocery store without calling them and asking when they'd be back.I wasn’t a kid. I was 18. I'd just come back from traveling abroad alone. But suddenly, even leaving my house felt impossible.I kept trying to make the fear go away – breathing techniques, cold water, supplements. I wanted the symptoms gone. But the harder I tried, the more my brain seemed to double down: “He's panicking – this must be dangerous.”Until I learned this: there’s a part of your brain – literally – that can reset your stress response. But here’s the trick... You can’t access it by calming down. You access it by acting differently while still feeling afraid.In this episode, I’m breaking down what that “reset button” really is, why coping techniques can backfire, and how repetition – not reassurance – teaches your brain it’s safe.It’s not easy. It feels backwards. But it works.Let’s show your brain there’s nothing to run from. Tune in.Key Takeaways:Fear manifests as panic and dissociation (00:00)Repetition helps dissolve fear over time (01:02)Seeking quick relief reinforces the loop (02:26)Exposure is only the first step (03:51)Recovery requires purpose beyond symptom relief (05:08)Most avoid healing by playing small (06:23)Use anxiety as protection, not prison (08:54)Additional Resources:➡️ To accelerate your recovery journey, book a call to see if the mentorship with Shaan's team will help your specific situation ➡️ Get access to the Desensitization Blueprint ➡️ FREE E-BOOK ---Follow me on social media: 🔹 Instagram 🔹 Facebook 🔹 LinkedIn
