Athletes and Anxiety | Recorded for the Centre for Integrative Sports Nutrition CISN
Anxiety is a common problem for athletes:
00:00 Intro and how I got into somatic trauma work
03:40 Chronic anxiety is a natural response to past experience stored in your body in a feedback loop with your limbic brain
06:50 The body cannot lie - it will reveal the truth of your unmet emotional needs from childhood as symptoms
09:20 Symptom suppression vs. root causes. Athletes can get symptoms of auto-immune, delayed healing, chronic pain, etc if underlying high achieving drivers become unbalanced. Ian's story.
15:03 Autonomic nervous system controls the body and is regulated by emotions. Autonomic safety (calm connection or neuroception) is necessary for healing and neurological co-regulation.
19:27 Trauma events can be one-off or more commonly complex PTSD from attachment wounding. Much more common with highly sensitive people (HSPs).
24:00 Symptom labels are limited being descriptive only. An example from an athlete we have both worked with:
1/ Betrayal of trust distorts your mindbody perception of self. Hyper-responsibility plays out as the child within unconsciously as feelings of shame transformed to worthiness.
34:50 High sensitivity (sensory processing sensitivity) correspond to 20% of population. Present in the womb, is a trait you are born with. Their needs are greater in childhood. Porous boundaries create overwhelm.
39:30 Adult reactions driven by past experience - coaches, trainers take the place of family but can be abusive relationships which retrigger past traumas.
44:00 What's changed in our environment that anxiety is so huge - social media onslaught, schooling system based on competition, achievement. Inter-generational trauma has built up. See The Myth of Normal by Gabor Mate. Much more pressure, less support leads to being bathed in cortisol which destroys us.
48:00 Competition vs. community. How the mind punishes the body if trained by trauma. Replacing despair with hope, love & gratitude is profoundly healing. Is a resonant system so emotions matter physiologically to restoring energy.
54:00 Heart mind resonance. Heart is not just a physiological pump but a resonance electromagnetic organ to connect with other living beings and our environment via its sensory system. Allowing your vulnerability and reaching out for help. Heart connection in practice.
59:00 How to connect with me. Books and courses.
