If your chest is tight and your mind is racing, you aren't broken—your nervous system is simply overworked. In this episode, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett guides you through a 10-minute nervous system reset. Using the clinically effective 4-2-6 breathing technique and a guided visualization of golden light, we reduce the "voltage" of anxiety to return your body to its natural baseline.
