There’s a number of questions we can reflect on with this quote. Where am I feeling unsafe? What about my future seems uncertain? How can I learn to manage these emotions? Am I putting one foot in front of the other to create a different version of my anxiety this time next year? Are there tools I need to discover to help me understand my anxiety more deeply than the physical responses?

Good questions help us heal, help us move from recovery to remission. Our ability to self reflect is linked in our brain. The medial prefrontal cortex connects into the emotional part of our brain and also the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, where our ability to process life in an order exists.

Without self reflection we can’t resolve the unprocessed emotions in our Amygdala and our Hypocampus can’t file them away. We need to do this as part of our process to help our brain recover from Trauma.
