Walk away from anxiety and trauma
Complete transcript:
The holistic psychologist: walking is one of the best ways to deal with anxiety. When you're walking, your eyes are naturally moving from side to side without you even thinking about it.
This is known as bilateral eye movement. Bilateral eye movements quiet down the amygdala, which is known as the fear center of the brain. This is the basis for EMDR therapy, which uses bilateral movement to help process trauma.

Florance Clark was a therapist who created walking with clients instead of sitting on a couch, she found walking to be the best movement to help clients process trauma. She noticed that clients with trauma not only could connect with the memory of the trauma better when walking but could also talk about it more freely. When we experience trauma or intense anxiety our left hemisphere which is associated with logical thinking. And our right hemisphere which processes our emotions, can disconnect and begin to work separately. Bilateral eye movements help the two hemispheres to synch up and to work more effectively and help the brain integrate the memory in a way that's less traumatic. Ultimately lowering our body stress response. So instead of talking about it, or overthinking it, walk through it.
