People who are neurodivergent have a different line of communication to the Spirit world.

Notice that I did not say better, I did not say superior. I just said different.

The findings are striking. Every single type of adverse childhood experience, or ACE was more prevalent in individuals with a neurodivergent diagnosis than in neurotypical peers. Verbal abuse was the most commonly reported ACE among respondents who were neurodivergent, affecting nearly 45% of them. Three in ten individuals who were neurodivergent reported four or more ACEs, compared to only one in ten neurotypical individuals.

Your amygdala is the fear center of your brain. Once it starts sending signals throughout the rest of your body, you will likely have sweaty hands and feet, a rapid heart rate, and maybe some nausea and dizziness. Everyone's reaction is different, but these are my main anxious symptoms.

I like to use breathwork to calm myself down. Of course, this is not a substitute for dealing with your trauma, your impulse control, or major life stressors that are causing the anxiety, but it does help.
