Summary
That the whispers of self-doubt are louder than your own voice? You aren’t alone, and more importantly, those thoughts aren’t the truth.In today’s episode of Calming Anxiety, we move beyond the noise of "output" and "productivity" to reclaim your inherent value. Join Martin—Clinical Hypnotherapist and former Paramedic—for a science-backed, 10-minute deep dive into self-worth, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation.
Through a blend of NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest) and Vagus Nerve Regulation, we will silence the inner critic and plant a new seed of truth: I am worthy of love and happiness.
