Very helpful. Thank you. I tend to get hyper aware of any little “change” in my body when I am anxious. This helped me switch my focus.

Joanne has the best voice. This is the only panic attack talk-down that has ever worked for me. I had a few favorite parts - when she said "I know you can do this" her choice of words wasn't patronizing... like some talk-downs I've heard (not by Joanne), it can feel like I'm being treated like a child. But Joanne keeps the tone of her voice steady, her words reassuring and empowering - rather than coddling and making me feel weak. I don't know if that makes sense. I just find her approach a lot more effective.

Another favorite part was learning that the feeling of not being able to catch your breath is due to not exhaling, and if you can talk your body is breathing enough.

Lastly the reminder that accepting the feelings instead of resisting them can actually help lessen the panic was a very helpful reminder that came at just the right time for me.

I'm just always impressed with Joanne's work. Sometimes I need the longer bedtime stories, sometimes I need the more 'coddling' inner child comfort, sometimes I need the repetitive affirmations, or the focused breathing and body scan stuff. This talk-down was new for me...perfect timing, good intro for when you're actually in a panic attack, and a good mix of skills - education, breathing, sensory stuff, affirmations, muscle tensing, more education, and no pressure to do things "the right way"

Love always..
Thank you Joanne!
