What happens when your brain knows everything is fine, but your body is still trapped in a panic spiral?
In this deeply personal reflection, I share a moment where a simple missed wave in a parking lot triggered a profound wave of preemptive grief. Instead of numbing out or trying to analyze the anxiety away, I walk you step-by-step through how I used the PARQS framework—specifically a somatic "Butterfly Hug" and a weighted blanket—to bring my nervous system back to safety.
A Question to Carry Into Your Day: The next time your mind starts racing into the future, what physical action can you take to let your body know it is safe right now?
