120. The Hidden Power of Healthy Anger: Transforming Immobility into Action


Listen Later

Hey Everyone!

In this episode, I dive into something I know far too well—that frozen, stuck, can't-move-no-matter-how-hard-you-try feeling that so often comes with anxiety.

It’s not just in your head—it’s in trapped in your nervous system.

That freeze response? That immobility? That’s not laziness or weakness. That’s trauma.

We talk about how early life experiences can lock us into patterns of helplessness and victimhood, and how reclaiming your healthy anger (yes, it has a good side!) can be the key to unfreezing your system.

I share some practical ways to start moving again—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—so you can start breaking the cycle of anxiety and alarm, and get back in the driver's seat of your own life.

Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd
