War, Worry & Your Nervous System

War, Worry & Your Nervous System

This week on Heal Talk Tuesday, Liza explores how war, worry, and global unrest can impact the nervous system—even when we are thousands of miles away. She shares a deeply personal message about fear, compassion, and humanity, while offering simple, grounding tools to help restore calm and reclaim inner safety. Through breathwork, tapping, and mindful awareness, Liza shows how we can soothe the body, quiet the mind, and re-regulate the nervous system during times of uncertainty.

War may be happening far away — yet your body reacts as if it’s right outside your door.

As events continue to unfold in Iran and across the Middle East, many people who are physically safe are experiencing emotional and physiological distress. Tightness in the chest. Shallow breathing. Racing thoughts. Sleepless nights. Constantly checking the news or refreshing messages from loved ones.

If you have family overseas, or if you are repeatedly exposed to distressing images and updates, your nervous system may be locked in survival mode.

The Brain and Danger

The brain does not clearly distinguish between immediate danger and perceived danger. When exposure to threat is repeated — sirens, explosions, urgent alerts, conflicting reports — the body’s alarm center activates. The result is hypervigilance, anxiety, mental exhaustion, and a sense of helplessness.

Fear is real. What is happening in the world is real. But worry is different. Worry keeps the body activated without offering protection or resolution. It drains your immune system, clouds your clarity, and disrupts your ability to function effectively in your daily life.

The key is not denying what is happening. The key is regulating your nervous system so that you can respond from strength rather than panic.

Simple practices such as intentional breathing, grounding techniques, and gentle tapping on the body can send calming signals to the brain. Even a minute of slow, conscious breathing allows oxygen to reach the brain and reminds the body: I am safe right now. That small shift can begin restoring clarity and control.

System Regulation

Hypnosis and nervous system regulation techniques work by calming the survival response — not by arguing with fear, but by helping the body return to balance. When the body feels safe, the mind follows.

Compassion is essential — for those directly affected, and for yourself. Being emotionally impacted does not mean you are weak. It means you are human.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, create boundaries around news consumption. Designate specific times to check updates. Protect your sleep. Protect your body. Protect your mental clarity.

You cannot control world events. But you can strengthen your internal response.

Calm is not denial. Calm is strength.

Can I Hypnotize Myself?

Yes, it’s called self-hypnosis. Hypnotherapy empowers you by providing tools to manage stress in your daily life. You can learn self-hypnosis techniques, enabling you to enter a state of relaxation whenever needed. These techniques can be practiced at home, allowing you to take control of their stress levels independently. My audio recordings can help guide you.

Self-hypnosis is so powerful that I have undergone several dental surgeries without anesthesia or painkillers. You can see me on YouTube having dental surgery with only self-hypnosis.

More Information

I have made audio recordings for self-hypnosis specifically to address certain issues. I recommend the Build Confidence and Stress No More recordings. Download the recording and save it to your device for listening. Find a quiet and comfortable place as you allow hypnosis to happen.
