How I Calmed My Nervous System as a Parent of an Addict

If you love someone who has struggled with addiction, anxiety can linger, even when things are going better. In this video, I share a personal moment that surprised me: waking up from a nightmare years into my son’s recovery, heart racing, fear fully alive. That experience taught me something important about how the body holds stress — and how we can find steadiness again. This video was recorded in 2024, but the message is just as relevant today. I talk about what helped me calm my nervous system during the hardest seasons — not to control outcomes, but to take care of myself so I could stay grounded, present, and whole. If anxiety has been running the show lately, I hope this meets you with reassurance and clarity. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Opening: A parent’s nightmare and the reality of anxiety 01:18 – Breathing through panic: My go-to calming practice 03:10 – The three pillars: Sleep, exercise, and nutrition 04:03 – Why gratitude and Delta Brainwaves changed my sleep 06:31 – The power of movement and getting outside 08:36 – Stretching routines and Google as your wellness ally 09:03 – Eating for calm: What really works (and what doesn’t) 11:11 – Self-care as a model for our loved ones 12:20 – Letting go, surrendering, and building resilience 13:35 – Final thoughts: “I got this”—and so do you You’re not doing this wrong.
