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!
