In this episode of Lifeing: Coast to Coast, Miki, Heidi, and Dr. Lovey dive into the complexities of anxiety—its causes, effects, and coping strategies. Heidi shares a recent experience of paralysis-like shutdown and the grounding techniques she used to regain control, from gentle movement to sensory-based self-soothing. Dr. Lovey explains the autonomic nervous system beyond the fight-or-flight response, highlighting the freeze state and its impact.
The conversation also explores Inside Out 2 and its new character, Anxiety, who frantically tries to predict every possible disaster, overwhelming Riley with worst-case scenarios. Much like Anxiety in the film, real-life anxiety can feel like an overprotective alarm system, but learning to work with it—rather than against it—can make all the difference. The episode emphasizes self-awareness, communication, and self-care as essential tools for navigating anxiety in daily life.
