Hi! My name is Sophia, I am 30 years old and I have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. I am now the mother to one amazing little girl and currently I spend all of my time with her as a homemaker. Well, before learning the Natural Anxiety Relief Method or NARM, it was probably pretty close to All of my time. If i wasn't with her, I was thinking of her, and between the pandemic lock downs and my postpartum and anxiety, I had lost all semblance of myself. I was a mess.
Like I mentioned, I had struggled with anxiety since I was a child. Once puberty hit, the depression settled in. Since turning 18, I have tried multiple forms of therapy and medications with no real relief. I have a bachelor's in psychology, a master's in clinical social work, and am trained in various types of talk therapy but it all just left me frustrated with my inability to fix myself. When a friend shared Noemi's offering of NARM with me, I was so anxious my body was screaming at me for help. My legs were restless, my hands were cramping and tingly, my arms ached, my jaw, neck, and shoulders were constantly tense, and my head hurt so much it felt like I could feel my anxious thoughts pushing on my skull. I was desperate for relief and this course seemed to be offering what I saw as a glimpse of hope when I had otherwise given up. Despite being so drawn to working with Noemi, I did everything I could to talk myself out of it. I told myself it was out of my budget, it would be a waste of money because I couldn't be helped, and basically various ways of telling myself I wasn't worth it. I recognize now that it was just my ego trying to keep me where I was comfortable and it almost worked but my husband saw how much I wanted it and convinced me to at least try. Now, I'd be lying if I said everything was sunshine and rainbows since the day I signed up but I think what I have to say is far more meaningful. Yes, I've been going through struggles since working with Noemi but life is full of challenges and that isn't going to change. What can change, is how you meet those challenges.
NARM teaches you how to take care of yourself in a way that prepares you for the challenges you'll meet in life and provides you with the tools you'll need to grow through those challenges. Before NARM, I never prioritized myself. I had become all-consumed by motherhood and had convinced myself that sacrificing myself somehow proved i was a good mom. But, if that were the case, why did I feel like I was failing? Because of Noemi and the NARM, I know that in order to do my best and be the best mother I can be to my daughter, I have to take care of myself. That doesn't just mean bubble baths and ice cream but also listening to my body and providing it with the nutrients it needs, practicing mindfulness so I can better handle those difficult moments and not become overwhelmed so easily, and giving myself the space I need to be and grow. I can honestly tell you, i have never been so hopeful in my life. My body no longer aches and is eager to move. I feel incredibly in tune with what it is trying to tell me and understanding what it needs. My menstrual cycles are unbelievably more manageable. My vaginal dryness is gone (you really can't understand how uncomfortable it is until you have it) And most importantly, in those really difficult moments, the ones that used to leave me debilitated, I feel a reassuring sense of confidence in my own ability to overcome.
