Anxiety's driving and you are locked into the back seat wishing or wanting for it to be different. Anxiousness, stress, and worry don't have to win.
Maybe it's like:
running upstream
a heavy weight making me tired
really loud static interfering in every conversation
dragging a bag of rocks with every decision just trying to take a step forward
the numbness leaves your feelings lost
life is just happening to you
it pushes me to be alone
getting drunk or high is my only peace

Alternatively or in conjunction we can use EMDR, a therapeutic approach particularly effective for people dealing with trauma, overwhelming emotions, and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

EMDR facilitates the processing of traumatic memories and experiences by engaging the brain's natural healing mechanisms. Through bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements and tapping, EMDR can help you reprocess traumatic memories, reducing their emotional intensity and power.

EMDR targets negative beliefs and self-perceptions that have developed as a result of trauma or difficult life experiences. By identifying and reprocessing these negative beliefs together we can develop more adaptive and empowering perspectives about themselves and their capabilities.

EMDR helps individuals confront and process difficult emotions and memories that they may have been avoiding. This is done by gradually exposing the distressing material in a safe and controlled manner. EMDR helps desensitize to triggers and reduces the need for maladaptive coping mechanisms such as substance use or isolation.

EMDR incorporates techniques to help us develop and strengthen coping skills together for managing distressing emotions and situations. There are a variety of ways to accomplish this with EMDR resulting in a sense of safety and empowerment.
