Anxiety: what it is and what can help (a trauma-informed perspective)
Anxiety is not simply “in the mind” or something to eliminate. It can be a protective response shaped by experience, learning, and past events. The nervous system may learn to remain alert for safety. By noticing and understanding anxiety, we can gradually change our relationship with it.
In this blog post we'll look at what trauma is, the way the body responds to trauma, why we need to work with the body when working with trauma, and how to recognise when we might need to use trauma-informed grounding techniques.
