Welcome back to The Anxiety Chicks Podcast! This week's episode is just Taylor today. Taylor is a registered dietitian who works in private practice focused with clients on nutrition and wellness from an individualist approach rather than one diet fits all motto. In today's society we are thrown so many headlines on what not to eat, what to eat, trends, do this and not that.. etc. and it is all TOO MUCH. We are all feeling it even us professionals! In this episode Taylor breaks it down more simple on small steps you can take today to feel better rather than making extreme changes all at once. We want to add on to this episode with a conversational piece between Alison and Taylor so we can answer questions that someone not in a nutrition profession can ask. Send us your questions too!

In todays episode, Alison is solo but discussing a topic that rings close to home for her - the connection between anxiety and trauma. Alison shares her own traumatic experiences and emphasizes that trauma is a personal experience. She then explores the trauma response of hyperarousal, hypervigilance, avoidance behaviors, difficulty regulating emotions, intrusive thoughts and memories, and heightened sensitivity to distress.

Healing Tip of the Week

Create a Safe Space for Healing: If you notice your anxiety is linked to past trauma, dedicate time each day to a calming ritual. This could be a quiet meditation, journaling your thoughts, or practicing gentle yoga. The key is to create a consistent, safe space where you can process emotions without judgment. Over time, this practice can help soothe your nervous system and reduce anxiety triggers. Healing takes time, so be gentle with yourself. 🌱
