Flip the Script
Sometimes anxiety shows up in the body as a squeeze, heaviness, heat, or spin.
This tool helps you “flip the script” by transforming the sensation into its opposite, creating calm and balance in the nervous system.
Why It Works
✔️ By “flipping the script,” you’re showing your brain and body a new possibility.
✔️ The nervous system learns to link calm and safety to sensations that once triggered stress.
✔️ Over time, your body shifts more quickly and naturally into balance.
Practice Shifting
1. Notice the Sensation- Bring your attention to where the feeling lives in your body. Is it tight, heavy, spinning, burning, frozen, or something else?
2. Give It Color and Shape- Imagine the sensation as a color, texture, or shape.
3. Flip the Script- Now imagine its opposite:
Tight → Open
Heavy → Light
Dark → Bright
Hot → Cool
Red → Blue
Crooked → Straight
Shaky → Steady
Heavy → Lifted
4. Transform It-Visualize the old sensation dissolving and flipping into the new one. Watch as the color, texture, or motion shifts before your eyes.
5. Absorb the Change-Bring the new sensation into your body. Let it fill the space where the discomfort once lived. Notice how your body feels as the script changes.
Remember
There’s no wrong way to imagine the opposite—trust what feels right. The more you practice, the faster your body learns this shift. Allow the transformation to happen naturally.
