KEY TAKEAWAYS This show contains branded product placement Paul’s ‘Wave System’ is a strategy you can use whenever you are trying to combat feelings of anxiety. The more you practice the more natural it will become to you. During the first wave, the negative response in your pre-frontal cortex can become shut down due to adrenaline, resulting in a move to a freeze, fight or flight response. The more pressure you take off your nervous system the easier it becomes to manage stress and anxiety In the second wave, your brain can push you to avoidance. Your brain’s number one priority is survival. If you are telling it a negative thought or feeling is dangerous it has to pay attention to it. This is how intrusive thoughts and OCD can manifest. Third wave can be exhaustion, guilt, shame, anger, judgement and isolation. it can be any consequences from the first two waves.   BEST MOMENTS “I am proof that anxiety heals” “There may be something you are still doing that you might not realise that can keep anxiety and make it much worse” “This is all about hijacking your nervous system, regardless of whether you’re in danger or not”   VALUABLE RESOURCES Mindset Change Podcast Mindset Coaching and Therapy The Mindset Coach UK Instagram Mindset Change YouTube     ABOUT THE HOST Paul Sheppard   Paul is well known for his holistic therapy and coaching approach  when working with anxiety, stress, confidence, and motivation, understanding, and treating the root causes and surrounding issues He has a passion for understanding how the mind works and has been trained in many therapies.
