Deep dives
The Necessity of Acknowledging Alarm
Understanding and addressing the sensation of alarm in the body is crucial for healing anxiety. The sensation is rooted in childhood experiences of pain, whether from bullying, rejection, or abuse, leading to a dissociative behavior where individuals escape into their thoughts. This pattern of overthinking can create a feedback loop of worry and produce chemicals like dopamine, reinforcing the cycle rather than addressing the underlying issues. Recognizing this alarm allows individuals to confront their emotional pain instead of seeking comfort through dissociation, which perpetuates anxiety.
