My Brain Spiraled Last Night. Here’s Exactly How I Got Out (A Therapist’s Process)

Last night, right as my head hit the pillow, my brain started spiraling. All the reasons posting my coaching clips was a terrible idea. No one’s going to watch these. People are going to be annoyed with me. A few years ago I would have believed that was my intuition. Now I know it’s my brain doing its job (looking for danger everywhere). In this video I walk you through exactly what I did, step by step, using my AERO method: awareness, emotional regulation, reframe to retrain, and ownership.
