If you look calm, capable and in control on the outside — but inside you feel tense, overwhelmed or constantly “on” — this video will help you understand why. 

High-functioning anxiety doesn’t come from ambition or perfectionism alone. For many people, it begins much earlier in childhood, when safety was linked to behaviour and performance. 

 In this episode, you’ll learn: 

• why achievement becomes a form of protection 

• how childhood roles shape adult anxiety 

• why stillness feels threatening when you’ve always had to be “on” 

• how your system learned that productivity = safety 

• why your brain interprets slowing down as danger 

• and the hopeful truth that this pattern can be healed 

This episode helps you understand why you can be highly capable yet feel anxious underneath — not because anything is wrong with you, but because your system learned to equate control with safety.
