Anxiety Rx

Welcome to another episode of the Anxiety Rx podcast! Today, we have a very special guest - my beloved wife and trauma therapist, Cynthia Solylo Kennedy who brings her expertise and compassion to this discussion.

We're delving into a valuable topic - how to feel connected even when physically apart.

Cynthia sheds light on the significance of recognizing past wounds and how they can influence our present relationships.

Drawing from her therapeutic insights, we discuss practical strategies to bridge the emotional gap during times of physical separation.

Throughout this episode, we emphasize the importance of understanding each other's past experiences and being considerate of their emotions.

By doing so, we can cultivate a profound sense of emotional closeness even when miles apart.

In this episode, we explore the profound connection between anxious thoughts and the ALARM sensation stored in our bodies since childhood.

Surprisingly, that very ALARM sensation is your inner child or younger self.

When we feel this alarm, our instinct is to go into our heads and worry – a coping mechanism from our childhood that only intensifies our anxiety as adults.

To heal, you must find the alarm (and therefore your younger self) in your body and STAY with it WITHOUT reflexively going up in to your head with worry.

When you stay with the alam, you metabolize and neutralize it and rob the worries of their energy source and that is how you truly heal from chronic worry.

Tune in as we delve into this transformative journey of embracing the alarm, nurturing our inner child, and discovering the path to healing from chronic anxiety.

Many people I encounter express that their childhoods were positive, yet they continue to experience trauma. There are a couple of reasons why this might occur.

Firstly, some people may have difficulty recognizing the presence of their own trauma. It can be challenging to acknowledge and process the painful experiences from our pasts.

Secondly, individuals might not have been aware that they experienced a significant separation from their parent(s) during their formative years.

Alternatively, they may have inherited trauma from their parents and grandparents, which can deeply impact their well-being.

Recognizing the origin of our trauma can be immensely beneficial in addressing and healing chronic emotional dysregulation.

It is important to remember that you might be carrying the weight of something that was never meant to be yours to bear in the first place.

Have you ever found yourself trapped in an endless loop of negative spirals? Do you constantly find yourself engaging in the same maladaptive behaviors, seeking out similar types of relationships, or being stuck in an addictive cycle of worry?

If so, you're not alone. In fact, there's a fascinating phenomenon at play here, and it all goes back to our childhood.

Join me as I delve into the depths of the human psyche and explore what Freud famously termed the "Repetition Compulsion."

This compelling force drives us to unknowingly recreate familiar patterns from our past in our adult lives. It's a phenomenon that holds immense power over our actions and decisions.

In this thought-provoking episode, we'll shed light on why we find ourselves trapped in these repetitive cycles, uncovering the roots that lie deep within our formative years.

On this Father's Day 2023 I talk about my father and the role his mental illness played in my own anxiety and how he is a driving force in my desire to help others with emotional pain.

I talk about the role of our parents and how we tend to look at our mother and father in a one dimensional way that keeps us trapped in our own emotional dysregulation, and how we can begin to expand our subjective perception of our parents to help us heal.

Developmental psychologist Dr. Gordon Neufeld says that "All anxiety is separation anxiety", and I add that it's fundamentally a separation from within yourself.

Stress and trauma in childhood that is not resolved by a loving, attuned parent or caregiver slowly splits us from the inside into a REACTIVE and an AUTHENTIC self.

Like splitting the atom, this separation within ourselves creates a tremendous amount of energy that becomes stored in our system in a form I call ALARM.

You can't heal from anxiety until you resolve this split and you can't resolve this ALARM and heal until you fully see, accept and embrace your own innocence.

Therefore until you stop judging yourself and instead fully embrace your innocent authentic (child) self, you will always struggle with chronic emotional pain.

Sorry i've beenaway forthelast fewweeks.

I've been in Europe doing some promotionfor thebook and the MBRX program and then I got sick...

This week's episode I delve into the topics of over-dependence, over-responsibility, people pleasing, and the concept of alpha children. I talk about how we learn to read other people's needs when we are children and slowly neglect our own and how this self neglect and lack of self-care becomes an insidious and destructive program that separates us from our own selves internally and creates a tremendous amount of alarm.

Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymdif you have any questions.

P.S My ability to look after myself has increased exponentially, and I can still feed my need to help others by writing my book ANXIETY RX and creating MBRX while at the same time looking after myself.

Many people with anxiety and alarm have a common trait of feeling overly responsible for the emotions of others.

As someone who has experienced this myself, I know it can stem from childhood experiences where we felt the need to take care of our parents.

It is a very anxiety provoking situation to be in control of YOUR OWN EMOTIONS let alone those of your parents, partners and children. In this episode, I want to draw attention to how you leave your own emotional needs to automatically and reflexively look after others, and how that just makes you more anxious and alarmed. We will explore how to identify and break free from the pattern of automatically putting others first, so that you can take care of your own emotional needs while still being there for the important people in your life.
