In this episode of the Be A Better You Podcast, host Allison K. Dagney dives deep into the pervasive issue of chronic worry and its impact on individuals, particularly those healing from emotional abuse. As a two-time best-selling author and expert in subconscious reprogramming, Allison offers an enlightening perspective on how worry manifests in the nervous system and becomes a deeply ingrained habit.
She explains that worry is not a personality trait but a learned coping mechanism rooted in fear and control. Allison begins by describing worry as a protective response developed at the nervous system level, often triggered by the fight or flight mechanism. This constant state of alertness can lead to physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, digestive issues, and sleep disturbances.
On a psychological level, worry creates an illusion of control, keeping individuals in a state of hypervigilance, especially if they've experienced trauma in the past. Chronic worry can have detrimental effects on physical health, contributing to fatigue, headaches, gastrointestinal problems, and adrenal dysregulation. Allison emphasizes that worry is a repetitive thought loop, a pattern of behavior that can be changed. She encourages listeners to recognize it as a habit formed to survive and not an inherent personality trait.
For those struggling with worry, Allison offers hope through emotional healing. She invites listeners to explore her Emotional Healing Mastery program or schedule a free root cause call to begin untangling these patterns. Healing from emotional abuse wounds is challenging, but Allison reassures her audience that support is available and that they are not alone in their journey.
As the episode concludes, Allison expresses gratitude to her listeners for their commitment to healing and encourages them to share the episode with others who may benefit from this valuable insight. She remains a steadfast ally for those seeking to break free from the chains of worry and improve their emotional health.
