Mark L Lockwood's podcast episode, 'Paradigm Shifting Anxiety - How to Heal Anxiety and Panic Instead of Just Coping', offers a refreshing perspective on managing anxiety. With 14 years of experience in successful interventions, Mark shares the transformative Paradigm Process, aiming to heal anxiety from its roots rather than merely coping with it. Through a blend of scientific and spiritual principles, Mark emphasises that all anxiety stems from separation—specifically, separation from oneself.
He invites listeners to explore the concept of 'False Evidence Appearing Real' and how fear triggers the body's fight-or-flight response. Mark highlights the importance of self-love as a key to overcoming anxiety. He believes that our anxious thoughts create powerful subconscious programs, often leading to physical symptoms like a racing heart or trembling body. These symptoms can drive individuals towards addiction or depression.
By shifting focus from external environments to internal healing, Mark suggests that we can transform our anxious state into a more peaceful existence. Throughout the episode, Mark discusses the F9 response—a series of reactions including fight, flight, freeze, and others—that are activated by fear. He encourages us to recognise these responses and understand their impact on our lives. The episode is packed with practical advice, including the significance of breathwork and meditation as tools for managing anxiety.
Mark's approach is both compassionate and empowering, urging us to reconnect with our sacred selves. He stresses the need to move beyond coping mechanisms and truly heal by nurturing self-love and awareness. This podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand and transform their relationship with anxiety. Why not take a moment to explore how these insights could change your perspective on anxiety?
