WHAT IS ANXIETY?
(including generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, PTSD, OCD, agoraphobia, nervous illness, nerves, overwhelming stress, traumatic stress, and other anxiety disorders)
PANIC ATTACKS ARE A PART OF OUR BODY'S FIGHT, FLIGHT, OR FREEZE RESPONSE. THEY REACH THEIR PEAK WITHIN A MATTER OF MINUTES AT WHICH TIME THEY CAN BE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND INCLUDES SOME (OR MANY) OF THE FOLLOWING ANXIETY SENSATIONS:
Chest pain or discomfort
Nausea or abdominal distress
Feeling dizzy, unsteady, light-headed, or faint
Chills or heat sensations
Derealization (feelings of unreality) or depersonalization (being detached from oneself)
Fear of losing it or “going crazy”
Fear of dying
Restlessness
General sense of dread
Feeling constantly "on edge"
Difficulty concentrating
Irritability
Feelings of panic, fear, and uneasiness
Problems sleeping
Cold or sweaty hands and/or feet
An inability to be still and calm
Dry mouth
Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
Muscle tension
Palpitations, pounding heart, or accelerated heart rate
Sweating
Trembling or shaking
Feeling shortness of breath or smothering
Feelings of choking
This is not a comprehensive list of the sensations that you may feel when panic arises from your anxiety or PTSD, simply a list of some common occurrences. Since anxiety impacts nearly all of the parts of our bodies, we may feel any number of different things when we are anxious.
If you are reading this and thinking, "that's me alright, but what do I do now?" Then you have come to the right place!
Step one is to start teaching your body to calm down and begin living a more mindful life. Other factors may include diet, lifestyle, and movement for healing anxiety, and many more which you will learn through our podcast, blog posts, 1-on-1 coaching, and Group Coaching with Gina Ryan and our Anxiety Coaches.
Even better, all of our Anxiety Coaching and group is done by phone or Zoom so you can get help from wherever you are!
What could be more convenient than online or phone anxiety coaching?
The truth is we need to learn to accept and surrender rather than fighting and seeking out something or someone to do it for us. Anyone who has recovered from anxiety will tell you, as soon as they stopped trying so hard, they started to feel better...and stopped caring so much when they didn't feel great!
Once we begin to let go and start "being" instead of always "doing" things begin to change. The reality is that the things on that list that help us the most actually lead us to acceptance and surrender.
AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE HERE TO TEACH YOU!
