How To Heal Anxiety From The Body Up: 3 Frameworks To Calm Your Nervous System


Listen Later

If you’ve been trying to think your way out of anxiety, it’s time to flip the script.


In this continuation from last week’s episode, we dive deeper into the truth that anxiety isn’t just in your mind—it lives in your body. And that’s where real healing begins.


Join me as we explore three practical, body-based frameworks to help you break the anxiety cycle by creating a sense of internal safety, reconnecting with your nervous system, and interrupting the alarm signals that keep anxiety looping.


🔍 In This Episode:

• Why traditional thought-based approaches often don’t work for anxiety

• How to stop fueling the “alarm cycle” between the brain and body

• The ABC Method: Awareness, Befriending the body, and Compassion

• The STOP Method: A simple acronym to interrupt anxious thought spirals

• The Safety Sequence: My signature 3-step process to help retrain your nervous system


These are the same powerful tools I teach in my journal, in my programs, and now inside the Nervous System Journaling Club—a new membership community for regulation through journaling and doodling.
