Finding our centre when we are feeling overwhelmed

A recording from Dr Anita, CBT/ADHD therapist and Alexandra Lais's live video

My first live video - and with the wonderful Alexandra Lais, yoga teacher and somatic practitioner!

So many takeaways from this lovely conversation!

  • the body is where we hold our sense of safety

  • your mind can’t think your way out of overwhelm - it’s simply the wrong tool for the job!

  • learn to soothe your amygdala by softening and relaxing your body

  • pick one of many small methods - breathing, vocalising, shaking, swaying - or build them into a routine that works for you

  • learn how to recognise your signature tells you’re feeling overwhelmed, so you can move to regain safety quickly and reliably

Tell us in the comments box what you took away from this collaboration, and if you want more from us together. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
