You may want to go on vacation but have difficulty leaving the house. You may want to drive but have difficulty even as a passenger. This episode deals with how to set and achieve goals when you deal with chronic and debilitating anxiety. All while establishing a sense of safety in the body rather then traditional exposure that can make us freeze.

    It is such a frustrating feeling when you can't do the things you used to be able to do without experiencing panic. You may have shopped at Target 1000 times and then one day, you can't do it (or go to a restaurant or movie theatre) without experiencing panic. In this episode, Jen explains how and why the brain can associate places as dangerous and what we can do about it. As always, the content discussed in this podcast is for information purposes only.
