You have done the work. The therapy. The breathing. The books. The vagus nerve videos. And the anxiety is still there. This is not a failure — and this long somatic talk is for you. There is a kindof anxiety that does not leave, no matter how many protocols you try. The mainstream wellness narrative depends on the premise that anxiety is a malfunction that can be optimised away. For a great many people, that is simply not how nervous systems work. Some of us have systems that run warmer, scan more vigilantly, and have their own weather. And the fight to evict that weather is often the heavier burden — not the weather itself. Guided by Abi Beri — Integrative Somatic Therapist and Nervous System Specialist (Dublin, Naas, Newbridge & online) — this is a roughly hour-long somatic talk on what peaceful co-existence with chronic anxiety actually looks like, the cost of staying at war with your own nervous system, and the reframe that changes everything: peace in relationship to anxiety, rather than in its absence.

For the people who have done the work and are tired. Looking for a somatic therapist for anxiety in Dublin, Naas, Newbridge or online from anywhere in Ireland or the world? More at somatictherapyireland.com and blissfulevolution.com.
