The Power of Emotional Change
At a deep body level we feel what we believe. Anxiety is a hyper focus on real or imagined problems, reinforced by body tension. Depression happens when anxiety is too high for too long, and you can’t get it down. Behaviors can seem to happen without any decision – panic attacks, phobias, tics, nail-biting, hair pulling, OCD, Tourette’s. Everything from something like snacking when you’re trying to diet to things like seizures that have no neurological basis, or other functional neurological symptoms which just feel completely beyond your control. Even chronic physical pain has a strong emotional component. Discipline and self-discipline don’t seem to help. You want more than just techniques to try to manage all this.
