Reset Anxiety (Part 2) "Why it Comes Back and How To Break The Loop"
Details
Many people experience a moment of calm after learning a grounding or breathing technique only to feel anxiety return later and wonder, “Why didn’t it last?”
In this second session of Reset Anxiety, we’ll explore what’s actually happening in the nervous system when anxiety rebounds and why this is not a failure, setback, or lack of effort.
Anxiety is not a thought problem. It’s a body-based predictive alarm loop. When we understand how that loop works, we can interrupt it gently and effectively, without fighting the mind or trying to “stay calm.”
In this session, you’ll learn:
- Why anxiety often returns even after calming practices work
- How the nervous system tests safety before it trusts it
- Why effort, monitoring, and “trying to relax” can backfire
- How to use the same reset inside anxiety, not just before or after it
- What actually builds lasting calm over time
We’ll revisit the three-minute diaphragmatic reset from our first meetup, this time with a deeper understanding of when and how to apply it in real-life moments. If you didn't attend the first Meetup reach out and I'll email you "The Three‑Minute Diaphragmatic Reset" PDF.
The session will include...
- Clear, accessible neuroscience
- A guided somatic practice
- A short settling / hypnotic-style integration
- Time for questions
You do not need to have attended the first meetup to benefit from this session.
You are welcome exactly where you are.
This is a calm, non-judgmental space focused on nervous-system safety and understanding, not fixing or forcing change.
