Calm acceptance of danger allows us to more easily assess the situation and see the options. -Simon Sinek Chapters 0:42 Understanding Panic Attacks 1:28 Causes and Triggers 9:12 Physical and Emotional Impacts 15:14 What Panic Attacks Are Not 17:19 Coping Mechanisms 18:13 Myths About Panic Attacks 19:05 Life After Panic Attacks Summary In this episode, I dive deep into the complexities of panic and what it truly means to have a panic attack. With a focus on demystifying panic, I highlight the importance of returning to fundamental concepts, especially for those who are just beginning their journey in understanding anxiety. By unpacking what panic genuinely entails, I aim to provide valuable insights that can aid everyone, from those newly recognizing their anxiety to those seeking to reinforce their existing knowledge. I start by clarifying the notion of a panic attack. It's characterized by a sudden surge of intense fear coupled with various physical and mental symptoms, rather than merely a fleeting moment of anxiety. I explore common symptoms associated with panic attacks, such as rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and feelings of impending doom. Understanding these symptoms is crucial because many listeners may have never experienced a panic attack while grappling with chronic anxiety. A significant part of my discussion emphasizes recognizing panic triggers, including biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors, such as caffeine and alcohol, which are often overlooked yet under our control. As we delve deeper, I address the physical and emotional aftermath of panic attacks, including the hyperventilation and muscle tension that may linger post-event. The fear generated by the potential of having another attack can be debilitating, leading to a cycle of avoidance that ultimately traps individuals in their anxiety. Thus, I encourage listeners to reframe their mindset, empowering them to recognize that panic attacks, while uncomfortable, are not life-threatening, and do not signify a mental breakdown. With this awareness, individuals can begin to see that the fear perpetuates the very cycles we wish to break. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Is It Stress Or Anxiety? Defining the Difference

    In today's episode, Gina provides guidance for how to the answer the question about whether what you are experiencing is just stress or full fledged anxiety. The symptoms of stress are discussed and contrasted with those of anxiety. Being able to know the difference can help you cope more effectively. Strategies to manage both conditions are shared.

Quote: Stress is the trash of modern life—we all generate it, but if you don't dispose of it properly, it will pile up and overtake your life. -Danzae Pace Chapters 0:42 Understanding Stress and Anxiety 2:03 Defining Stress 3:26 Defining Anxiety 4:46 Triggers of Stress and Anxiety 6:30 Physical Symptoms Explained 7:48 Emotional and Cognitive Differences 9:49 Time Frames of Stress and Anxiety 11:29 Analogies for Understanding 13:32 Managing Stress and Anxiety 16:04 Recognizing Escalation Signs 17:10 Differentiating Stress from Anxiety 18:37 Questions for Self-Reflection 19:47 Conclusion and Key Takeaways Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I explore the crucial distinction between stress and anxiety—concepts that are often used interchangeably but represent fundamentally different emotional responses. Understanding the difference can empower listeners to take control of their emotional well-being and develop more effective coping strategies. Through the episode, I provide insights based on the experiences I've gathered through coaching, aiming to clarify these often-confused terms and offer practical tools for self-management. I begin by defining stress as a response to external pressures or demands, often linked to specific situations like job deadlines or family responsibilities. This type of stress is identifiable and can be felt physically, manifesting as headaches, muscle tension, and rapid heart rates. It’s important to recognize that these symptoms typically dissipate once the external stressors are resolved. On the other hand, anxiety is characterized by feelings of apprehension or fear about potential future events that lack immediate external triggers. I describe anxiety as a feeling of impending doom or worry, often accompanied by an array of symptoms such as excessive worry, restlessness, and hypervigilance, which can persist long after stressors have been removed. The conversation progresses into examining the causes and manifestations of both stress and anxiety. While stress stems from identifiable external factors, anxiety often emerges from internal negative thoughts or worries, leading to a disproportionate reaction to situations that may not warrant such feelings. These variations highlight how stress creates a wave that comes and goes, whereas anxiety can be likened to a cloud that lingers, obscuring clarity of thought even in calm circumstances.

    How the Subconscious Mind Shapes Anxiety and the Path to Rewiring Our Responses

    In today's episode, Gina discusses the role of the subconscious mind in our overall anxiety experience. The subconscious mind has powerful effects on how our anxiety manifests in our lives. Using the knowledge of how this occurs, provided in this episode, we can better develop healthier responses to anxiety as it presents itself to us.

Quote: Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. -Carl Jung Chapters 0:42 Understanding the Subconscious and Anxiety 3:38 Negative Thought Patterns and Anxiety 4:47 Conditioned Responses to Anxiety 6:02 Fear of the Unknown 7:22 Self-Protection Mechanisms 8:59 Beliefs and Self-Perception 10:22 Resistance to Change 11:54 Working with Mindfulness 14:11 Disrupting the Anxiety Cycle 16:35 Reducing Avoidance Behaviors 18:47 Strengthening Emotional Regulation 20:03 Reframing Anxious Thoughts 21:17 The Power of Acceptance 22:12 Conclusion and Future Insights Summary In this episode, we delve into the significant role of the subconscious mind in shaping anxiety and our emotional responses. I explore how deeply entrenched beliefs, past experiences, and automatic reactions stored in the subconscious can perpetuate anxiety disorders. We discuss how negative experiences from our past, such as traumas or distressing events, can trigger automatic anxiety responses later in life, often leading us to react irrationally to perceived threats. I share personal experiences to illustrate these concepts, including my own journey with anxiety stemming from a traumatic dog bite in childhood. I explain how the subconscious holds onto memories that can cause an anxious reaction even in harmless situations. Through this narrative, I emphasize the importance of understanding these mechanisms so we can begin to work on them. We proceed to discuss various automatic negative thought patterns that are driven by the subconscious, such as catastrophizing and all-or-nothing thinking. These ingrained patterns, occurring without conscious awareness, can significantly increase feelings of fear and helplessness. Additionally, we touch on conditioned responses, where certain stimuli become linked to anxiety, highlighting the need to recognize these triggers and our reactions to them. The episode further examines the fear of the unknown, a common anxiety catalyst. Our subconscious mind seeks predictability and safety, which can lead to anxiety in uncertain situations. This is often compounded by self-protective mechanisms, where anxiety acts as a defense, particularly in social contexts. Understanding how our beliefs about ourselves and the world contribute to anxiety is crucial for managing these feelings effectively. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    In today's episode, Gina identifies and discusses the various causes of anxiety.

The focus today is on understanding how anxiety manifests in our lives and the importance of recognizing these triggers rather than believing that eliminating stress or anxious feelings is the ultimate goal. I emphasize that while we may learn to manage our anxiety through mindfulness and calming techniques, the reality is that stress and anxiety will always be part of life. The key is transforming our responses to anxiety and understanding the underlying thought patterns that fuel these feelings. Anxiety is an emotional response influenced by a multitude of factors, including genetics, brain chemistry, and environmental stresses. These aspects often interplay to shape our vulnerability to anxiety disorders. Throughout the episode, I highlight several significant contributors to anxiety, starting with genetics and family history. Research indicates a hereditary component to anxiety, yet it’s critical to note that environmental influences play a substantial role too. Our surroundings and familial relationships can shape our mental states, and it’s vital to evaluate both genetics and context when considering our anxiety levels. Next, I dive into the role of brain chemistry and how imbalances in neurotransmitters, such as serotonin and dopamine, can affect our mood regulation, potentially leading to increased anxiety responses. This biochemical complexity underscores the significance of lifestyle choices—prioritizing good health can positively influence our mental state. Learn more about your ad choices.

Quote: Pain may be unavoidable at times, but suffering―in other words, how we relate to the pain―is optional. -Jon Kabat-Zinn Chapters 0:42 Introduction to Mindfulness 3:09 The Power of Disciplined Practice 8:44 The Journey of Mindfulness 13:02 Letting Go of Expectations 14:07 Beautiful Quotes from Jon Kabat-Zinn 18:00 Mindfulness as a Complement to Treatment 20:31 Closing Thoughts and Quotes Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the transformative teachings of Jon Kabat-Zinn, particularly from his book, "Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief." Emphasizing the profound impact this work has had on my own journey through anxiety, I explore how mindfulness meditation serves as a powerful tool not only for pain relief but also for managing anxiety and stress. I highlight Kabat-Zinn's illustrious background as the founder of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Clinic, where his insights stem from a deep-rooted Buddhist practice. While his teachings do not explicitly teach Buddhism, the foundations of his mindfulness practice are steeped in its principles, allowing him to articulate his messages with remarkable clarity. The essence of today's discussion revolves around the parallels between pain and anxiety, suggesting that the journey to understanding and alleviating both conditions is intrinsically linked. Central to our dialogue is the importance of disciplined practice. I emphasize Kabat-Zinn's assertion that mindfulness must be treated as a daily discipline rather than a sporadic endeavor. It's crucial to establish a strong foundation in meditation before integrating mindfulness into other activities in life, such as running or yoga. Only then can we truly harness the benefits of mindfulness as a consistent practice and utilize it to navigate daily stressors effectively. I draw attention to key concepts presented in Chapter Six of Kabat-Zinn's book, focusing on the necessity of consistent mindfulness practice. He likens mindfulness to physical exercise, advocating for long-term commitment and resilience rather than immediate results. The discussion includes insights on developing a compassionate relationship with both anxiety and pain by learning to accept and sit with discomfort rather than resist it.

    In today's episode, Gina responds to a listener email, sharing key wisdom regarding the importance of checking the second fear or the fear of the fear of having an anxiety-panic attack. You have the ability to minimize the impact of the initial onset of anxiety through how you interpret and respond to the physiological symptoms and sensations that go along with it.

Quote: Stress is caused by being ‘here' but wanting to be ‘there'. –Eckhart Tolle Chapters 0:04 Introduction to Anxiety 3:44 Stepping Off the Merry-Go-Round 8:12 Acceptance and Understanding 10:47 Trusting Yourself 13:28 Dealing with Panic Attacks 15:07 Empowering Yourself Against Fear 15:23 Closing Thoughts and Quotes Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the pervasive issue of anticipatory anxiety, specifically addressing the phenomenon often referred to as "the fear of the fear." This fear can become a significant hurdle in the journey towards managing anxiety, and through the lens of a listener's email, I aim to shed light on coping strategies that can foster a sense of peace and calm. I begin by recognizing the weight of long-term anxiety struggles, particularly drawing from my personal experience and the stories of countless listeners who have faced similar battles. This notion of reverting to anxiety after a period of relief is common, and it’s essential to understand that this cycle can perpetuate itself through self-talk. A line from the email I received resonated deeply: “Oh no, here we go again.” This phrase reflects an all-too-familiar sentiment that can trigger a spiraling response, igniting a cascade of stress rather than allowing room for acceptance and healing. A significant part of our discussion revolves around the concept of acceptance. I emphasize the importance of acknowledging one’s current state without judgment. Over my own journey of wrestling with anxiety, I found that accepting the physical sensations and thoughts I experienced—rather than fighting against them—was a crucial step in lessening their power. I explore how by disassociating our identity from these feelings and realizing that they are transient sensations, we can begin to navigate our anxiety more effectively. The principle of non-judgment plays a critical role in this process. I introduce the metaphor of stepping off the anxiety merry-go-round, which vividly illustrates the chaos that accompanies unrecognized and unaddressed fears. It’s vital for listeners to realize that they can observe their thoughts and sensations without labeling them as either good or bad. This detachment can mitigate the influence of stressors while reinforcing the understanding that such experiences are merely parts of the larger journey rather than defining elements of who we are.

If you are attentive, you will see it. – Thich Nhat Hanh Chapters 0:42 Introduction to Anxiety and Calmness 2:41 Identifying Your Triggers 6:24 Taking a Step Back 9:56 Talking It Out 11:17 Making a Plan 13:51 Seeking Support 14:59 Staying Present 16:33 Observing Your Thoughts 18:00 Practicing Self-Compassion 19:36 Key Steps for Managing Challenges Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the intricacies of managing anxiety during life’s inevitable storms. Life throws challenges our way, whether it's juggling work deadlines, handling family distractions, or simply trying to unwind amidst constant notifications. I explore practical strategies to help us maintain a calm and centered presence when faced with these triggers, as anxiety can grip us more fiercely when we feel overwhelmed. Understanding our triggers is the first step I discuss. Each of us has unique situations that provoke stress or anxiety. By writing down these triggers, we can begin to identify patterns that allow us to avoid or better manage them. For instance, if work deadlines induce panic, starting projects earlier can alleviate that pressure. On the other hand, if family gatherings are triggers, planning enjoyable activities can create a more positive experience. I encourage listeners to adopt proactive habits that reduce stressors before they escalate. We then explore the importance of taking a step back during high-stress moments. Acknowledging the need for distance in stressful encounters allows us to observe the situation more clearly and respond more thoughtfully. This exercise not only applies in professional settings like meetings but also in personal relationships, helping to diffuse conflicts before they escalate. Additionally, I recommend establishing a centered space prior to engaging with external pressures like emails or calls. Talking through our stressors with others can also bring clarity. Whether it's discussing work frustrations with a colleague or seeking support from friends, sharing our burdens can often lead to newfound insights and actionable solutions. I further discuss the power of creating structured plans for overwhelming tasks, which can help restore a sense of control and calm. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
