Right now, nothing is chasing me. A Guided Nervous System De Escalation

Do you feel a tightening in your chest or racing thoughts about a future that hasn't happened yet? In this episode, we spend 10 minutes retraining your nervous system to understand one simple, fundamental truth: You are safe right now. Join Martin, a clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic, for a guided session designed to help you stop the panic and feel comfortable in your own skin again. 🌬️ The Gold Standard: Coherent BreathingWe begin with Coherent Breathing, a powerful technique for improving heart rate variability and calming social anxiety. By inhaling for a count of five and exhaling for six, you manually signal to your vagus nerve that it is time to switch off the stress response and de-escalate. ✨ Visualization & AffirmationsVisualize your nervous system shifting from a high-voltage network of light to a soft, warm glow. Repeat these internal affirmations to ground yourself in the present:"Right now, nothing is chasing me." "My nervous system can stand down." "I don’t need to solve the future in this breath." 💡 3 Daily Caring Tips for a Happier LifeTo help you carry this peace into the rest of your day, Martin shares three practical wellness "hacks": The Two-Minute Tech Fast: Put your phone away every two hours to avoid "scroll shock." Morning Hydration First: Drink 500ml of water before your coffee, as dehydration often mimics anxiety symptoms. The "Let Them Run" Rule: If others are judging or acting out, let them. Their energy is not your responsibility. Ready for a deeper dive into your recovery? Explore the full Anxiety Breaker Course and find more resources at calminganxiety.fm.
