I work with lots and lots of clients with anxiety. Their anxiety seems unmanageable. Anxiety that leads increasingly to panic attacks. Minds that spin and spin, hearts that race, breathing that is totally shallow. 

It is important, I believe for people to know and realize that these responses - whether anxious/fight/flight or freeze are physiological responses of the body to what it perceives or imagines as danger.

And that once a person can begin to identify the sensations in their body -'when my heart begins to race, when my breathing begins to be more shallow and I cannot seem to take a deep breath' - 
when the body response can be detected, they have a window of time in which to shift and change the bodies' reaction! This takes attention, practice and some time...but not that much!

Anxiety takes a huge toll on us emotionally, physically, in our work, school, our relationships with our loved ones. Our friends. Our community. Our ability to be involved, to live a full life.
