Healing From Chronic Fear
Trauma overwhelms the nervous system. This can create a constant state of fear in the body. Dr. Stephan Porges, Dr. Pat Ogden, Dr. Bruce Perry, Dr. Peter Levine, and Dr. Gabor Maté suggest body-based therapies as a powerful way to release the fear that you may find yourself living in.
Chronic fear is feeling immobilized by our anxieties.
When we live in constant fear of the future, we can feel robbed of living in our present.
Our anxieties are often rooted in experiences where we felt vulnerable, powerless, and voiceless.
Even after these events have passed, our nervous system keeps our body in fight-or-flight mode. We may experience a racing heart, restlessness, disturbed sleep, difficulty concentrating, and impatience with others.
Often, it is hard to explain why we feel anxious. This is because our fear signaling is coming from within our bodies, not our minds.
Chronic fear magnifies our anxieties, putting our bodies in constant anticipation of the worst.
Fear can drive us to build our protective walls higher and higher, which can make our worlds feel smaller.
We may find it challenging to:
- Trust our instincts
- Do what we love
- Make new friendships and connections
- Connect to ourselves and others
- Assert our needs to others
- Move forward toward our goals
Instead of fearing life, feeling safe can help us fall in love with it again.
Our human biology reveals that we are all on a quest for safety, according to the architect of polyvagal theory, Stephen Porges.
With time, we can begin to take down our walls of fear and start safely exploring what is on the other side.
Finding safety in our bodies to restore our sense of security can help us remove the clutches of fear, moving us toward fully living in our present.
This is why Rewire TraumaTherapy has created a Healing Chronic Fear and Anxiety after Trauma program. This program incorporates polyvagal-informed, somatic therapy techniques, which can help you appreciate your body as a site of healing, strength, and resilience.
Introducing Healing Chronic Fear: 10-Minute Techniques For Healing Chronic Fear And Living In The Present

Meaningful Feedback
“It helps me to feel the body and everything that happens in it, to slow down, and be focused. I found the tools of Rewire Therapy very practical and it suits me.”
Milena Blankman, Survivor
"I would think if someone was new to therapy, these exercises would help calm their mind and body so they could be more vulnerable and become more conscious and aware of their thoughts and feelings. This is a great program and I hope people take advantage of it."
Matt Domyancic, Medically Retired Cop
"I notice that I am 'tolerating' more feelings and exploring them as being transient, also to see if they are information for the here and now or something else. The approach is so gentle that I forget the power of that. I am grateful and get that this is ongoing."
Liz Gow, Survivor
"The course was presented in a very fresh, interesting, and informative way. The panel was extremely caring, professional, and engaging. The theory, exercises, and bonus program exercises were a beautiful way to present such rich information."
Rita Ehrman, Survivor
"The tools I learned in your program helped me to feel less anxious, more connected to my body, helped me to sleep better, and have a little less pain. I will come back to these tools throughout my day and look forward to re-watching the videos."
Tracie Jones, Survivor
"I found the videos were easy to fit in because they are short and didn’t overwhelm me. I began to look forward to the calm and peace it would bring to my body to follow along with a drama or art therapy technique."
Tikeke Ziemer, Survivor
“Their program content is so amazing and has so much to choose from depending on your needs… I know I have found the most wonderful online place to heal, flourish etc especially for my body.”
