On this powerful episode my guest is @theanxietymd Russell Kennedy MD.
Russell shared his story of living with anxiety for 30 years and some of the techniques and practices that have helped free him, including somatic work and Internal Family Systems.
We also talked about:
how trauma and anxiety get stuck in the body
Why this happens
How the body perceived trauma and anxiety as danger
How the ego tries to protect us from experiencing this “danger”
How to start to connect to our body and turn inward to find where the anxiety is
How this awareness and resource to find anxiety and trauma develops as we practice
The importance of knowing when to ask for professional assistance with this work so that we don’t get overwhelmed.
At the end of the episode Russell leads you through a practice for connecting and working with anxiety that you can start using now!
