Nature is Big Medicine

Yesterday I got a call from a man who was talking so fast;

I had to slow him down to understand what he was saying.

He was in a panic. The prescription medication he had taken

for many years was no longer working and his heart was

racing and he could not sleep.

I explained to him, “Medications do not get rid of anxiety;

they cover up your symptoms so you do not know you are

anxious. They fool you, instead of helping you. Your

anxiety got worse because it continued to generalize

and spread."

His story continued, "But I got really good at stopping

my anxiety attacks with Cognitive Behavior Therapy. When

the last one started in the parking lot, I said, 'Go on,

give it to me! I can take it.’ "

Unfortunately, his Cognitive Behavior Therapy treatment

backfired and fooled him into thinking he was overcoming

his panic attacks and he was not.

CBT can reinforce problems by getting you to think so
much that you can end up controlling yourself more,
not less. This is what happened to him, he was more
anxious and not less anxious.

"I said to him, if your body and nervous system are not

relaxed, you have not overcome your anxiety attacks.

You need to learn to relax your body and nerves.”

Bottom-line: MDs and talk therapists do not have strong
enough medicine to overcome the static in your nervous
system. You need Big Medicine, the kind that comes from
the land.

You need Mother Earth.
