28 - 3 Things I Stopped Telling Myself to Heal
from The Real Work with Maggie Sterling
Get my nervous system sensitization course Take the nervous system sensitization quiz Everyone asks me what they should be saying to themselves when anxiety hits. After years of chronic anxiety and nervous system sensitization — and hitting rock bottom in a psychiatric hospitalization — I realized the question wasn't what to say. It was what to stop saying. In this video, I'm sharing the 3 sentences that kept my nervous system in full alarm mode, why affirmations and positive self-talk made things worse, and the shift toward unconditional acceptance that actually freed me. If you're looping on thoughts like "I can't live like this" or "my life is over if this doesn't stop" — this one is for you.
