We think too much. Especially when worrying and anxious, when it can seem like our brain is on steroids. Because we are an intelligent species our brain has evolved to keep in mind our storehouse of memories of past stressful events. But retrieving pat stresses inevitably keeps the pains in the past very much in the present. Neuroscience shows we are wired to be acutely aware of potential dangers. And that's been evolutionarily advantageous. BUT you don't want to be feeling continually stressed. So, how do you WANT to feel instead? You certainly don't want to feel a prisoner of your feelings. How best to feel in control?
Fear can keep us safe. But we did not evolve to be on continual high alert. It's draining. Especially when our radar turns in ourselves and we constantly keep a critical spotlight on all what we think and feel. When anxious thoughts take control of us, it's not long before we lose a sense of who we are. I can help reverse the process. Let me show you how.
You know how you'd LIKE to feel. I can help you move from where you are now, to where you would rather be instead. And because you know how you feel, and how you'd rather feel instead, you don't need to share any personal information with me. So it's 100% confidential. Do you want just to survive? Or flourish and thrive? Regain control of how to feel.
