Today I bring you through a somatic practice of moving your attention to ground yourself into something neutral vs. overfocusing on symptoms or unpleasant sensations. Overfocusing is called hypervigilance and is one of the ways we keep symptoms alive and is a sign of anxiety. So we want to start to shift our attention away from pain or chronic symptoms or unpleasant sensations as a way to teach our brains there is no danger or threat and to reduce the anxiety that may be contributing to our symptoms.
