When I was diagnosed with extreme anxiety, I thought I was one among the very few with this rare “disorder”. With talk therapy and a lot of self work, I’m learning a lot in my healing journey. The first being, anxiety has become like, “hey you had an anxiety attack today? Me too!”. And I got into more anxiety just by thinking about the routines that I’m not following to overcome anxiety! Everything is just connected to how I feel. I thought breathe work, yoga, meditation, a proper diet, journaling was the solution… all these did help me but all these just let me get past the surface. The real work is identifying my relationship with myself. The root cause is just one thing. Just one thought, like that one spark of fire that burns down a huge dense forest. Like the smell that comes out of a rat. No matter how hard I try to put out the fire, no matter how hard I try to make the room smell good, without putting out the source, without throwing the dead rat away, I’m not solving the problem. One Simple thing I do these days is, asking questions. I feel like crying. Why? Because I feel low. Why? Because someone said my dressing sense is not up to the mark. Why did they say that? I don’t know. Does their opinion on you matter? No. My opinion on myself matters. So what is my opinion on my dressing? If my answer is “needs improvement”. Good! solution found. Let’s focus on that. If my answer is “my dressing is good”. Great, so I dont have to worry about somebody’s opinion. If my answer is “I’m confused. I’m not sure but I’m trying”, Great! So I’m taking action despite of not being clear so I’m definitely going to get better. Not how we ideally think when anxious. But when the trigger is approached with questions, I feel like it becomes more logical than emotional. And it starts feeling like finding the missing piece of the puzzle. These wave of thoughts might feel like you are falling down from very high but that’s what it takes to fly higher and stronger!

Where do you give your most priority?

It’s been almost a year since I’ve stepped into this world of being extremely anxious. From shivering hands to loss of breathe and uncontrollable tears to thinking “it’s just a phase”, the hardship is real, so is the learning. This is my first post and I thought, I’ll share what I do when I badly want to see the light. 1. Look myself at the mirror every morning, where I have drawn a crown that sits exactly in the top of my head when I see the mirror. And I assume like I’m already where I want to be! Instantly makes me feel better 2. Count backwards from a random number 3. Name 5 things I can see. 4 things I can hear. 3 things u can smell. 2 things I can touch. And say THANK YOU repeatedly. 4. Grab some colour pens or crayons and start colouring something. Am u completely healed? No. But am I moving away from the dark? Absolutely. If this has helped you, thank you because you just helped me heal faster ❤️ happy healing ❤️

I’m Bri (but you can call me Bee 🐝). I’m so grateful to be here with you. A little about me: I’m a trauma-informed life coach and mental health advocate from Ohio. My heart is especially in addiction support.. both for people walking their own recovery path and for those who love someone in addiction, trauma recovery from SA or SH and I know firsthand how heavy, messy, and isolating it can feel.. and I also know healing is possible when we don’t have to do it alone. What I want most is from this community to feel like a safe place where you can exhale, be real, and remember you’re not broken. Healing doesn’t have to be perfect at all, it just has to be possible. Let’s walk this path together. 🌼

Hello, I’m here to commune with like minded peeps who want to explore their “beingness” on this planet. I love plant medicine, breathwork, self-exploration and astral travel! I even had a psychic gift come online recently where I can hear someone’s subconscious/soul talking to me while I am talking to them…so I know what people need to hear because it’s already coming directly from them! Kinda cool! I have worn many hats but most recently left a career as a private super yacht chef traveling around the world and have stepped into coaching people back to health with confidence! I specialized in healing diets and detox on the yachts and I know what works and how quickly. It’s nice to see people reclaim their avatar in a beautiful way ☺️
