The Shivering Heart of Terror: Fear's Quaking Pulse

Feeling terrified is like having a shivering heart of fear, terror, and dread, its quaking pulse sending shockwaves of anxiety, vulnerability, and panic through your body and mind, leaving you feeling paralyzed, overwhelmed, and desperate for safety and reassurance. This state of intense, all-consuming terror and apprehension can be triggered by real or perceived threats to your safety, well-being, or sense of control, and can make it feel impossible to find your footing or regain your sense of equilibrium. When the heart of terror shivers within you, remember that fear is a natural, human response to danger, and that by seeking support, practicing grounding techniques, and focusing on the things that bring you comfort and peace, you can begin to calm the quaking pulse and find your way back to solid ground.
