What Your Hidden Energy Block Reveals About Your Anxiety Type

If you took the quiz or read my last blog, you’ve met the four Hidden Energy Blocks that often mask anxiety:

• The Overthinker – Your mind is always racing. You feel responsible for everything and everyone.

• The Heart Holder – You carry emotional pain from the past, often tucked neatly behind a smile.

• The Worn-Down Warrior – You’re exhausted, yet you push through—ignoring your body’s cries for rest.

• The Disconnected One – You’ve become numb or checked out, unsure why you can’t feel joy like you used to.

Anxiety Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All. What I’ve learned (and lived) is this: Anxiety doesn’t always feel anxious. It can be buried deep beneath your thoughts, habits, and physical symptoms. More often than not, it comes from one of three roots:

💔 Emotional Anxiety: This kind stems from past emotional wounds, grief, or unresolved trauma. It often hides under irritability, reactivity, or emotional shutdown. You might feel:

• Like you’re easily triggered by situations that don’t make sense

• Overwhelmed by emotions you can’t name

• Stuck in old patterns even though you want to move forward

🩺 Physical Anxiety: When the nervous system is overloaded or the body is out of balance (hello hormones, inflammation, poor sleep…), anxiety can take root in the body. You might feel:

• Wired but tired

• Tension in your chest, shoulders, or gut

• Sudden surges of adrenaline or dizziness

💸 Financial Anxiety: Not just about money—it’s about safety. Even when your needs are technically met, if your nervous system is wired for scarcity, you can live in a constant state of worry. You might feel:

• Fear around spending

• Guilt about rest or investing in yourself

• A sense of “never enough,” even when things are okay

  
  

So What Does Your Energy Block Reveal? Here’s how the hidden energy blocks often map to the underlying anxiety types:

This isn’t about putting you in a box—it’s about opening the lid on what’s been buried, so you can finally breathe.
