3: A Hero’s Journey: Anxiety

Every single human being will have a season of anxiety in their life. It is pat of the human experience. Many of us may laugh at this statement however when we understand what Anxiety is, it is easier to identify a season of our lives when we experienced it. According the the Mayo Clinic, anxiety is persistent and excessive anxiety and worry about activities or events — even ordinary, routine issues. The worry is out of proportion to the actual circumstance, is difficult to control and affects how you feel physically. It often occurs along with other anxiety disorders or depression. The major concern we have with Anxiety is when it lasts longer than a season. For many of us, our first encounter with anxiety is happening right now during the COVID19 pandemic. The fact that you have a perceived lack of control has paralyzed many of you from taking action to pursue your goals and your dreams. In fact it has crippled a majority of American’s to live in a state of perpetual fear causing a ton of health related issues even while practicing social distancing. In this episode I talk about patient #186 and her life time battle with Anxiety. With the help of Upper Cervical Specific, we have been able to strengthen and balance her autonomic nervous system to allow her to be the hero of her own story, even amidst the chaos of the current pandemic.
