Anxiety visits us after we’ve experienced fearful or traumatic events. And it has many different symptoms. Understanding how the two branches of the nervous system operate will show you how deeply anxiety in Tampa FL, and Brandon FL, is embedded in your nervous system. Your symptoms will be a combination of either alarm or shut-down.
Alarm: When we are initially stressed, we experience the fight-or-flight part of our sympathetic nervous system. When it turns on we feel:
Hot, tense, tight jaw, twitches, itchy, sweaty, rapid heartbeat, shallow breath
Heightened sense of alertness, like something bad is going to happen
Emotions such as excitement, fear, anxiety, annoyance or anger
Shut down: When the stress overwhelms us, we feel stuck. Like an animal in the teeth of the lion, struggling but about to die, the parasympathetic nervous system turns on and we notice the symptoms of shut down:
Cold, sleepy, slower heart rate, nausea, heavy limbs as if gravity increased
Tunnel vision, difficulty seeing
Feeling depressed, blank, numb, detached or dissociated, unable to motivate to do anything
Armed with good information, you can take your foot off the brakes and learn to release these patterns in your body. Then the mind will follow.
Our bodies store the problem. And they also hold the solution. We can use our minds to access the solution rather than playing an endless loop in the projector of our minds.
