DARE: Panic & Anxiety Relief Podcast

In this podcast episode, DARE coaches Michelle Cavanaugh and Aida Beco talked about the nature of anxiety and how to deal with it. They explained that anxiety is a normal human emotion that everyone experiences from time to time. They also emphasized the importance of understanding physical symptoms, such as jelly legs and a spinning head, during social interactions. Their discussion revolves around the misfiring of the stress response, normalizing uncomfortable bodily sensations, and encouraging listeners to treat their body's alerts as safe.
Additionally, Michelle and Aida explored the concept of not overanalyzing thoughts, allowing for a more balanced and accepting approach to discomfort in order to foster trust in oneself. They reminded the listeners that it is important to be patient with themselves and to celebrate their successes. Recovery from anxiety takes time and effort, but it is possible.
