A Teaching from the AHP Community: How to Stop Scanning for Threats and Start Feeling Safe Again

Nov 10

A Teaching from the AHP Community

Do you ever feel like you're constantly on edge? Like your mind is always "scanning for threats," bracing for the worst, or stuck in a loop of "what ifs"?

This feeling of hypervigilance is one of the most exhausting parts of living with anxiety. It’s your nervous system stuck in "on" mode, constantly looking for danger even when you're physically safe. It’s the "what if I panic?" thought before you even leave the house. It's the constant monitoring of your own body, waiting for a heart palpitation or a wave of dizziness.

It's a pattern that makes your world feel small and unsafe.

This is a topic that resonates so deeply, which is why I recently did a live teaching on it inside my Healthy Push Coaching and Community.

"How to Stop Scanning for Threats and Start Feeling Safe Again."

It was such a powerful and helpful conversation that I wanted to share a sneak peek with you.

In this teaching, we explored why our brains get stuck in this pattern. We talked about how it’s a protective mechanism gone into overdrive—a brain that’s just trying too hard to keep you safe.

More importantly, we covered how to start breaking the cycle. This isn't about just "thinking positive" or telling yourself to "just stop it." It's about learning to:

Recognize when you're in a "scanning" mode.
Understand the signals your body is sending.
Respond in a new way that sends signals of actual safety back to your nervous system.

We discussed practical, tangible tools you can use in the moment to help your body stand down from high alert and teach your brain that you are, in fact, safe.

This episode gives you a taste of how I teach and the practical, supportive topics we tackle every single week. This is the exact kind of coaching that happens every Monday. My members get:

Live, practical weekly teachings on topics they vote for (like this one!).
Access to the entire library of past teachings (including the full lesson on "Scanning for Threats"!).
A safe, supportive space to ask questions, share wins, and be held accountable.

If you’re tired of feeling on edge and want to learn how to feel safe again, this is what we work on. The full, in-depth teaching is waiting for you inside the community, along with dozens of others.

P.S. The community is currently $75/month, but that price will be increasing to $97/month in 2026. I'd love to see you inside!
