Tizzy Philp on anxiety & panic attacks
In this episode we speak to Tizzy Philp about her experience with anxiety and panic attacks. Tizzy is the Global Director of Content for Valtech, a global digital agency.
Tizzy began to suffer from panic attacks several years ago. She describes them vividly and tells us about her diagnosis of Generalised Anxiety Disorder. The attacks started on the tube and then progressed to all public transport and then even at home; culminating in an event at night where her mind was telling her to get out of bed, go downstairs and hurt herself.
Tizzy sought help from a therapist to understand the root cause, after previously struggling with NHS talking therapies. A book called 'Jog On'' by Bella Mackie really helped her feel like she wasn’t alone and that other people understood how she felt. She now runs regularly for her mental health and sees this as part of a strong structure and routine to keep her centred when life’s challenges hit.
