EP 0029 - Anxiety 101 / Lesson 4 – Coping Techniques

Send in a question or comment via text. Billy and I discuss the role of coping techniques in dealing with anxiety and panic issues. We touch on breathing, muscle relaxation and meditation techniques designed to quiet the mind on demand. Coping techniques are designed to limit the duration and intensity of a panic attack, not to stop it dead it its tracks. Coping techniques must be learned and practiced all the time in order to build the skills required to use them properly. We also briefly touch on important difference between coping and safety/avoidance behaviors. My Links https://theanxioustruth.com/links Intro/Outro Music: "Afterglow" by The Ben Drake Collective.
