Anxiety Help With Wes

Hi folks, In Short, this is my last podcast.  I'm focusing on becoming a better counselor and enjoying down time.   And after having two panic attacks while speaking to a group, here's how I managed to get it in check quickly.   1. went to get physical and returned to medication, Setraline, an SSRI. 2. Identified stressors and changed my thoughts/behaviors around them.  3.  Shared the panic publicly, which for me, was leaning straight into the fear.  4. Radical Acceptance - complete acceptance of panic, what my body was doing, and possible consequences of being in this state. As a result, my body has greatly calmed down.  It was a good reminder of the physical component involved.  You kind of forget the feeling when you don't have it.   Thanks for coming along!
