Panic Attacks & Anxiety for " NO Reason"? Explained By War Expert Somatic Therapist

Anxiety and Panic Attacks are not weakness — it is the body’s way of remembering. Trembling, shaking, racing heart, panic attacks — these are survival responses held in the nervous system, resurfacing when something reminds your body of old fear. Wind, a suitcase, even an innocent comment can awaken memories of exile, neglect, abuse, or violence. ----------------------------------------------------- Book: The Trauma We Don't Talk About https://amzn.to/41SjKKL PRE-SALE MASTER CLASS OPEN: PTSD & HYPERVIGILANCE SOMATIC RECOVERY thought by Ana Mael ➡️ https://exiledandrising.mykajabi.com/offers/we2ex5Lq/checkout?preview=true ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As a somatic experiencing therapist, Ana explains how anxiety lives in the body and how survivors can meet it with care.

This piece is for trauma survivors of war, displacement, abuse, and neglect — and for anyone who wants to understand why anxiety is not failure but survival wisdom. Core Teachings in “Trembling Anxiety” Anxiety is not failure. Tremors, shivers, racing heart — these are not betrayals of the body but survival intelligence surfacing. Triggers are subtle. Something as ordinary as wind, a suitcase, or an offhand comment can awaken old terror because the nervous system remembers what the mind has tried to forget. The nervous system is timeless. It doesn’t know past from present; it only knows sensations of safety or unsafety. Your body honors your story. Trembling is not weakness — it is memory and resilience at work, a reminder of what you endured. Repair is possible. What was missing in the past (comfort, safety, tenderness) can be given to yourself now in the present.   About Ana Mael: Ana Mael is a genocide survivor, somatic therapist, and author of The Trauma We Don’t Talk About.
