The practitioner-client dynamic is essential for healing, as their mutual frequencies can significantly influence the therapeutic process and outcomes.

Deep dives

Understanding Anxiety Through a Quantum Lens

Anxiety is viewed through a new paradigm that emphasizes both biological and energetic perspectives, contrasting traditional cognitive behavioral approaches. Rather than solely focusing on thoughts and behaviors, this approach considers how factors like mitochondrial health and cellular inflammation influence mental states. The conversation underscores the idea that anxiety can be seen as a frequency signaling imbalance within the body, rather than merely a cognitive phenomenon. By integrating knowledge of circadian rhythms and emotional frequency, a more holistic understanding of anxiety emerges, allowing for a deeper exploration of its causes and potential treatments.

“When we have things that work for people, it’s because of frequency, and I would never have thought that,” says Kelli Ritter, PhD, trauma competent practitioner who returns to the Quantum Biology Collective podcast to discuss what she believes is the true nature of anxiety versus the traditional paradigm which, while not wrong, doesn’t provide the full picture, and looks to merely manage anxiety rather than heal it from the source. And that source, Dr. Kelli says, is not negative thought patterns leading to negative emotions, but trauma, old wounds we aren’t aware of or haven’t truly dealt with, which then block frequencies in our fields.

And our personal frequency, which is developed when we do the work to heal ourselves, is a major part of finding the best practitioner for us. Dr. Kelli believes that a practitioner stands to benefit from a mutual healing with a client when their frequencies complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

We are on the cusp of entering a new paradigm for treating anxiety and people are hungry for it, Dr. Kelli says. Join today’s discussion to learn her thoughts on the importance of self love, safety, stability and trust to the healing process, and how to join her workshop to become more trauma-informed.

Quotes:

“The idea—I get it, it makes sense—that you’re going to give somebody a diagnosis and if you get the correct diagnosis…you’re going to get the right treatment. But I didn’t ever see that happening. And my thinking now is that when it does work, when we have things that work for people, it works because of frequency, and I would have never thought that.” (9:43 | Dr. Kelli Ritter)
“When you have a practitioner of any kind that has, in their field—I know this is really woo-woo, but just stick with me, this is frequency—when they have worked on themselves and they are healthy and their field is very vibrant and there aren’t the breaks in the same places that you as the ‘client’ have breaks, there’s an exchange of healing. And so, we—I think—are meant to help each other heal in this way, in this very vibrational frequency way.” (10:43| Dr. Kelli Ritter)
“Literally what we’re talking about on a basic, basic level: you’re either working with a frequency of fear, or you’re working on a frequency of love. So, my view now—which I was not taught—is that anxiety is just a fear frequency and sometimes it can get stuck there.” (14:09 | Dr. Kelli Ritter)
