My Beautiful Daughter Emme has offered to skydive for Thrive Community Arts CIC

Emme has always been a vital part of Thrive.
Supporting our SEN camps, Lego Therapy, Smile of Hope projects and her Amazing help behind the scenes too.

Emme is a valued member of the Thrive team and we are all so very proud of her for taking on such a daredevil task!

On 30th May Emme will be skydiving at GO SKYDIVE in HEADCORN - ASHFORD in KENT - This will be falling from 12,000ft and freefalling for 40seconds before floating in the sky admiring the views!

We know this is a first for Emme and we can’t wait to see her in action!

Anxiety often feels like it’s “in your head” because it involves worry, fear, and racing thoughts—but physiologically, anxiety is primarily a body-based response. Here’s why:

The Stress Response (Fight-or-Flight)
Anxiety activates your autonomic nervous system, especially the sympathetic branch.
This triggers a cascade of physical changes: increased heart rate, shallow breathing, muscle tension, sweating, stomach upset, etc.
These body signals happen before or alongside anxious thoughts.

Hormones and Neurochemicals
Anxiety floods your system with cortisol and adrenaline.
These hormones prepare your body to react to danger—even if no real threat exists.
That’s why you feel jittery, restless, or nauseous even when “nothing is happening.”

Body Memory and Sensations
The body stores stress through patterns of tight muscles, digestive issues, chest tightness, headaches.
Often people sense anxiety as physical discomfort before realizing they’re mentally worried.

The Brain-Body Loop
Thoughts can spark anxiety, but the body’s signals (like a racing heart) feed back to the brain, amplifying the anxious experience.
This makes it clear that anxiety isn’t “just in your head”—it’s a full-body event.

Anxiety is in your body because your nervous system, hormones, and organs physically respond to perceived threat. The thoughts are only part of the picture—the body carries the real weight of it.

At Thrive we believe in therapies that move you……from fitness, dance, art, lego, play, breathwork, music, sound massage, wellbeing, walking, outdoors, mindfulness and meditation…..helping you become a better version of yourself.
