Join me for episode 55 where I will discuss how we use the MAP Method of advanced neural retraining to resolve long-standing patterns of anxiety. Hear about Alex and how generalized anxiety can be associated with gut issues. Listen to Carter’s experience of acute anxiety and how early life trauma can predispose us to panic attacks. We’ll also talk about Andy and how complex factors can promote anxiety including perfectionism, empath tendencies, and anxiety about anxiety.

In this episode we discuss:

- How emotional issues, like anxiety, can be linked to physical issues and even impact sleep.

- How anxiety patterns are tied to unconsciously-held fears.

- How frozen or repressed emotional memories exacerbate stressful situations in our current life.

- How early life trauma can predispose us to a “freeze” response to stressors.

- How the subconscious mind starts to reveal the associations during a session, including “big T” and “little t” traumas.

- Why emotional patterns may improve for a while and then come back, indicating that there are more roots to the pattern.

- Negative thoughts and beliefs reinforce emotions like anxiety and depression.

- Inner conflicts and personality traits, like perfectionism are other contributing factors.

- Trauma experiences can create behaviors: racing mind, hypervigilance, negative self-talk, etc. MAP sessions have impact at all levels: emotional, mental/behavioral and physical.

- Sometimes working with a painful memory in a MAP session will produce a shift in perspective that changes our relationship to the memory and our emotional response to similar situations.

Don’t miss episode 54 where my client Lea described her experiences with the MAP Method for anxiety and obsessive thoughts.
