Meditation For Managing Anticipatory Anxiety

Transform the relationship with anticipatory anxiety through this guided meditation led by Dr. Kate Truitt. Learn to manage feelings of uncertainty with soothing evening touch exercises and mindful breathing, turning worry into curiosity and opportunity.

Dr. Truitt guides through common scenarios that trigger anxiety, such as traffic-filled commutes or unexpected disruptions. By focusing inward, discover how to shift the mindset from stress to curiosity. Asking "what if" questions will help create positive changes in the brain's responses.

Throughout the meditation, learn to partner with your brain, specifically the amygdala to intentionally change the narrative. Embrace the power of the havening touch and mindful attention to transform anxiety into a sense of safety and exploration.

I’m so glad Insight Timer suggested I listen to this helpful meditation. I have woken up too early again with anticipatory anxiety because I am giving a major presentation tomorrow. Although I had a little trouble making out some of the words that the teacher was saying I found this meditation very helpful. What if with a positive intentation is really helpful. Many thanks for offering this.
