The thing that stood out for me is that we can actually have CONTROL calming down the physical part....and THAT in and of itself gives me peace knowing that if a panic attack happens “I got this”.

This is revolutionary in scale. How we approach anxiety will/should never be the same after this understanding. MedCircle finds some really amazing professionals--I love Dr. Lamb! She just adds so much wisdom and energy to the already terrific roster of Dr. Judy and Dr. Ramani.

Thank you for this video! In the past four months, I suffered from two strange episodes who I was overwhelmed and stressed at work. I suffered intense fatigue, dizziness, inability to understand what people were saying to me (it was like they were speaking another language). I could barely talk myself. On the drive home, it seemed as though the roadway was turning on its side. I completely disassociated because of the intense stress that I was under being an essential worker during this time. These symptoms are no joke and are terrifying!

That anxiety is physical!I took her suggestion to do a plank when feeling anxious and realized how much of an effect that had!

Fantastic info. I had a co worker have a panic attack on me. Her eyes rolled back and you could watch her just fade away and faint. Thank god she was sitting on a table top. Or else she would have hit head on the concrete floor. She had just lost her son due to an overdose. I was talking to her about it. How it wasn’t her fault. She hadn’t really talked to anyone about that. Once i released her from the guilt, her brain couldn’t deal. Her body couldn’t take it and just checked out, I knew what it was when it was happening. Shes better now but still carries some guilt. She at least speaks regularly with a therapist. Great video, medcirlce ! Keep up the good work.

I don’t why I’m crying but im sure because of happiness. Because this video literally explained everything 🥺

When I am at my highest level of anxiety, into panic, I dunk my face in ice water, let it go up my nose a little, hold as long as I can. That grounds me back to reality very fast. Repeat until I'm over it, and gives medicine time to help too.

she is wonderful, I look forward to more from this doctor

I had high levels of anxiety during my divorce. I discovered Pema Chodron’s videos on tonglen meditation which include a basic mindfulness meditation at the beginning. It really took 3 years to figure out how to be in my body during the anxiety attacks and to feel like “I got this”. Thank you for this video!

Kyle , you are the BEST interviewer, giving space for the speaker and showing so much caring! Thank you. You are a role model of empathy and true caring.

I've suffered from anxiety and I got over it, but the experiences were horrible. The therapist is absolutely right that anxiety is more of a physiology business.

Anxiety and depression can cause severe physical pain. Muscle cramps, joints hurt, dehydration from nervous sweats, etc. I cycle and when I run my heartrate up over 170bpm it still doesn't hurt as bad as a full on panic attack. I can let up, my heart starts to slow, but a panic attack can go and go.

. I totally buried my childhood ICU hospitalizations .parents never understood the anxiety signs as a child .it led to self medicating and torturous binge drinking .only when i got sober did i connect the dots .im living the severe anxiety scale and its torturous .turns out ive a genetic predisposition for anxiety also ,just lovely double whammy . ,woke with buzzing in my ears 3 months ago ,i cant believe it .i want to be sedated and put asleep . Very informative video ,thank you . Peace.

It is incredibly useful video - so much help in 19 mins. It is so important to remind myself that in the moment of anxiety I shouldn’t be trying to just “shake it off” or “ignore it” but rather stop and watch what’s happening and be mindful of what happening atm. It was also great to hear that I should stop and be present when washing hands, I for example, always rush through million things while brushing my teeth, trying to get to the next thing I have got to do. I realise how much I “rush” myself into all these anxieties. Thank you Kyle and Dr 🙏🏻

This was so helpful. I have been experiencing health issues related to stress and it wasn't until that happened that I realized how bad my stress and anxiety had gotten. The levels of anxiety really resonated with me. I've been having a lot of the highest level creeping in and I didn't understand why I couldn't just "snap out of it." So much derealization, spaciness, fatigue, even the ringing in my ears and blurry vision. I didn't realize that was a way that anxiety could manifest.

Such a good interview! I always thought that anxiety is due to over-thinking in the brain rather than what goes on inside the body! Mindfulness is the key to healing! ❤️ ❤️

i never thought about it dealing with physical health. i will take these tips and practice during my daily routines.

This was excellent. I already know the concepts on a deeper level but it is confirming. One element that was critical from the training I have attended is that you can’t implement something you haven’t practiced and made automatic. So practicing what you would do 15 minutes a day three times a day creates the automatic pathway in the brain body system. Then when you need it it’s there. A soldier can not execute what is not practiced daily. Become an anxiety master soldier! Kyle the Dr. Ramani insert was endearing. I know this sweet mentor simply giving you permission to enjoy your hand washing ritual to live yourself had to be so empowering ❤️❤️❤️

This. Having found my way back from diagnosed cptsd, and related anxiety issues.. I can personally attest to these three modes of anxiety. Stress, smooth muscle, and cognitive. As the levels rise, it seems to expand from one to the other. Once my daughter and I escaped the abusive situation we were in, the levels flipped and reduced backwards from cognitive to muscle and down.

Would like to hear more about this different type of body reaction, when meditation is not the right solution. When blood pressure is low and you get intense headaches on regular basis. And tingling hands.

Thank you for this great overview of the different levels of anxiety and how it manifests in the body. As far as I have learned, anxiety just a normal emotion and a panic attack is an anxious response to the normal emotion of anxiety. Emotions are signals and at the same time emotions give us energy to respond to the stimuli/trigger. We need to understand the signal and what it is trying to tell us. Are we in danger? Is someone trying to harm us? Are we being overburdened? People who suppress their anger sometimes end up feeling anxiety instead. Arent these the basics?

Dr. Lamb is amazing! Everyone should see this! I'd also like to see Dr. Lamb credited in the title of the video and the description. We definitely need to see more from her!

I used to have panic attacks do to a stressful work environment until I finally left. It’s been a while now but it started up again recently in trying to do a job search during this time when jobs are scarce but I have been learning to manage.

I often use that example with my patients about how only slightly moving the rudder of a boat over time can completely change your journey course 🙂

So I've struggled with various forms and degrees of anxiety for 20 years. It started with cardiophobia (a fear of heart attacks). So when I was 15, my grandfather died of a heart attack. That was my first experience losing someone close to me, and it effected me on many levels...far more than I realized at the time. One noticeable effect, is that I stopped crying. I was a very emotional person growing up, and I cried a lot. I did cry the night my grandfather died...but that was the last time I would cry for many years. I also learned that I cope with loss fairly well in many ways...or so I thought (I'm still unsure on that). My grandpa has been gobe for 25 years now, and I can count on one hand the number of times I've cried (like REALLY cried) since then. Honestly, I can only think of 2 occasions right now...there may have been 3. Both occasions were when I was going through extremely rough patches, and just reached a breaking point. Anyway...there was another effect my grandpa's death had that began 5 years later, when I was 20-years-old. I smoked weed for a couple years back then...pretty heavily...and one effect of it was the ability to focus intensely on something, and to do so for long periods. So one day I was thinking about my grandfather's death, and how he died...and I started wondering what a heart attack might feel like. Without realizing it, I had begun to focus very intenselt on imagining what a heart attack might be like...and then I became aware that my heart was racing, and my breathing seemed "off", and I became a little light-headed. It was a fairly mild experience, but it was my first experience with higher than normal levels of anxiety, bordering on panic. After that, this started occuring every time I smoked pot...unless I was also drinking alcohol. Eventually, I couldn't even smoke while drunk without experiencing pretty significant anxiety (still not full-blown panic attacks...but severe enough anxiety that I had no choice but to quit smoking weed altogether). Weed may not be thought of as a stimulant...but it can raise your heart rate, and it's not uncommon for it to induce anxiety in people. With me...weed would raise my heart rate, which would remind me of my grandfather's heart attack, and this would induce anxiety. I became TERRIFIED of heart problems. Even after I quit smoking weed...any time my heart rate would increase, I'd start feeling anxious. Sometimes it would feel like it was lower than usual, which would also cause anxiety. Occasionally it would skip a beat...which, you guessed it, caused anxiety. This expanded over time, and I started becoming very anxious any time I felt "off" in any way that I thought could be related to my heart...so light-headedness; shortness of breath; any sort of pain in my chest; etc. At 21, I had my first panic attack, and my friends rushed me to the hospital because none of us knew what was wrong...and that's when I first learned what a panic attack WAS, and was told for the first time that a panic attack can feel nearly identical to a heart attack. Shortly after this, I was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Still, I would find myself in the hospital 3 or 4 more times in my early 20's due to panic attacks. Even when my brain was aware that it was a panic attack...some other part of my brain was convinced there was something very wrong. There were even a few times when I knew it was a panic attack, and wasn't consciously afraid it was anything more...but since I wasn't able to stop the attack on my own, I had to go to the hospital to get medication in order to calm down. I don't know how many times over the years that I was told panic attacks can feel identical to heart attacks...but it was A LOT. Despite telling countless Dr.'s, therapists, counselors, even psychiatrists that my anxiety and panic disorder were directly tied to my fear of heart problems (and I can pinpoint the exact moment when I first developed a panic disorder...or started to), none ever so much as spoke the word "cardiophobia" to me. I've known for 20 years that I have a somewhat irrational fear of heart attacks...but it was only a year or so ago when I did some research online and discovered that cardiophobia is actually a real thing, and I was far from the only person struggling with it. So over the past 2 decades, I've been treated for various anxiety and depression disorders in a wide variety of ways, and have tried pretty much every kind of medicine, therapy, counseling, etc. there is...but very few medications, treatments, or therapies have helped AT ALL...and the few that are effective, are either only slightly helpful, temporarily helpful, or when it comes to medications, are either controlled substances that Dr.'s try to avoid prescribing, or they have side effects that I can't handle (for example, anti-depressants make me numb to all emotions, which is far worse than even severe depression for me...and they've all had sexual side-effects that I couldn't deal with. They also weren't effective at all for panic attacks). What IS effective, are benzodiazepines. Not only will they stop a panic attack, but they also make me feel like a normal person altogether, at least for several hours. In my 20's, I wasn't really depressed...it was mostly just general anxiety and panic disorder. For about 8 years now, though, I've been struggling with SEVERE depression and social anxiety (and thanks to this channel, I know believe I've had Avoidant Personality Disorder for my whole life...or at least most of it). I rarely have panic attacks. I come pretty close almost every day, but I've learned how to get them under control before they get too bad about 97% of the time. I will say, though, that none of the breathing exercises or suggested activities that Dr.'s recommended ever worked for me, no matter the level of anxiety at the time. I basically had to just learn how to take control of my mind and body on my own, mainly through just force of will...occasionally certain activities might help...but they aren't the same every time. Sometimes going for a walk and getting fresh air works...other times I have to just lie down for awhile. Sometimes it helps to be around people I'm close to...other times that just makes it worse. My point is that it's different for everyone. Anyway...currently, my mental health has gotten so bad that I'm unable to work, socialize, spend more than a half hour in public places (less if they're crowded), and even basic functions are extremely difficult, and often even impossible for me to do without feeling so overwhelmed that I'll just shut down. I pretend whatever task or responsibility is causing me stress simply doesn't exist. I often cancel or reschedule appointments...even important ones; any task that is required of me causes me stress (like WAYYYYY more stress than the average person), and it's 100x worse if there are time constraints, deadlines, or any sort of aspect of it that is beyond my control. I'm 40, gay, and I've been single for 20 years as a result of my anxiety and depression issues. Even online dating is hard for me. Then something pretty significant happened. So remember that irrational fear of heart attacks I've had for so long? Well 2 years ago, it went from irrational to very rational when I actually had a heart attack at 38-years-old. And although there are many different types of heart attacks, and symptoms can vary greatly...for me, it was absolutely NOTHING LIKE a panic attack. Basically, I was sitting on my bed watching youtube videos, when I suddenly felt a sharp pain on both sides of my chest, a little below my armpits. It was weird, but very quick, and I thought little of it. I figured it was just a weird muscle spasm or something. A few minutes later, I started feeling like I had heartburn. Given that I've had chronic acid reflux for 15 or so years, this wasn't an unfamiliar pain, or an uncommon one. So I took a few Tums, and the pain faded...but then came back a few minutes later. I took a few more Tums...the pain subsided, then returned again a few minutes later. This was unusual, but not unheard of. Sometimes bad heartburn requires something more than just Tums, and that's happened to me before. (story continues below...)

A heartfelt thank you for this amazing video! I have experienced anxiety almost all my life and have been in therapy for years and years, yet still this explanation of the three stages has been the first actually helpful, actionable advice. My baseline is at stage 1 and I get to level 2 every day. When I have a lot of stress I can get to level 3, and thus am sadly also anxious about my anxiety. You are doing such an important work at med circle!

Also the muscles and anxiety was a new correlation that I found out from this vid!

It has totally effected my physical health its been amazing going no contact with my abusive relationships my healh has gotten so much better that and using all the tools that have been presented to me by professional support still have extreme anxiety issues but getting better thanks guy's

I’m having body tramblings, I cannot even get a cup of thee normally to my mouth. I also have stomach and intestinal problems of the tress/anxiety... I don’t feel it coming but I just let it happen and tell people when it happens. I feel ashamed but I must tell why, cause everybody notice it. But people don’t really understand. All thanks to my “sweet NPD mom and sister”.... I do breading, learned it from Qi Kung...still I tremble in certain situations.

This was so informative! We can treat ourselves when we know how. Dr. Lamb you have taught us the how.

Highlighting the difference between the 2 types of reactions to stress is an absolute revelation. I've had crippling fatigue and foggy brain for months now. And recently tingling hands. No idea why. And inability to do my work properly, making the stress and anxiety even worse day by day. A growing to do list, but struggling to perform. Total viscious circle i don't know how to break. Horrible. As someone else said, people speak to me, or i try to read something but i don't understand it. Brain can't do it. Frightening.

Wow Im blown away. I literally for the past for days I have been avoidant and isolating from the world and have watched myself progressively worsen in terms of anxiety and the sensations mentioned. Knowing the importance of breathing there was one day where I felt light headed and foggy where I tried to continually with deep breathing. Eventually I kept breathing to the point where I felt like I could feel the cavity of my skull and like there was cold air vacumming the gap between the brain and the skull. It wasnt nice and the migraine progressed and persisted, I love beong validated by these videos I'm deeply grateful for helping humanising our mental health. Have a great day and continue this great work it is truly a God sent. 🙏

Thank you soooooooo much! As a 13 year old with chronic anxiety no one will believe me!

Outstanding insights! I learned more about anxiety from this video than I have from years of therapy. Thank you!

I started guided meditation in 2019. I was at a level 3 last year and at some points I did focus too much on my body sensations at first and it made it worse. I didn't feel connected to my memories and my entire perception was skewed. I have greatly improved with the physical symptoms now I am constantly checking in with my body. I have been over a year and it makes a world of difference.

5:59 : WOW! I just tried the "5-4-3-2-1 groungding" technique. It is not as simple as it seems! It took me at least 4 minutes to get through the 5 steps, and I'm not even in a anxiety mode. I realize I'm not used to "connect" with my own body, and listen to the basic signals it sends me. Naming them is even harder!

The idea of being able to have control over the physical body to release anxiety helped a lot for sure.

I knew there was more to it than being anxious. Thanks a bunch.

I like this interview talk because it ties the mental process with the physical body. Sometimes when experiencing anxiety, a person would ask me, "What's going on in your body right now?" I never really felt like I could answer this question adequately or effectively because I just didn't see the value of the connection. Dr. Lamb does a nice job clearly explaining the mental and physical connection in practical ways.

Very interesting. After my nasal surgery, I started having severe anxiety and panic attacks. Hyperventilation, chest pain, feelings of abandonment and loss.

I have panic attacks every morni g when I wake up. Anxiety is a torture. My case is severe theres no day that i feel normal.

Waooo I learned that anxiety it's from stress, nerves inside that can't be control amazing thank you for this videos I really thought that anxiety come from my mind that I have mental disorder.

currently waking out of my sleep by forgetting to breathe or feeling like i needed to breathe in, waking up with body jerks and heart palpitations... so scary and frustrating, I JUST WANT TO SLEEP 😭

I related to the women with health issues as a child. I too, spent many years in hospital with asthma. My son died from collapsed lungs, due to a virus when being treated for leukaemia. I have CPTSD I have a lot of anxiety & panic attacks & , Covid has bought it on. I m get fed up with people telling me to change my thinking & stop worrying. I have been learning breath work, I find that very helpful.

The hand washing part and the stomach part really opened my eyes to ways anxiety can even exist in way is don't know and how I can help deal with it in such small ways

Dr. Kristy Lamb is the best!

This is really important. Quite revelatory. It would be great if you made a transcript or blog post or some kind of written summary of the information available as well so that it's quick and easy to refer back to in the future. Making little notes-to-self from TED talks is simple thanks to the transcript, for example.

Thanks, this ties in with Ekhart Tole's books, which I am listening to on Audible. They are helping a lot, as it's this, with my PTSD

I didn't know a thing about anxiety disorder and didn't know I have them. The topic is really gives good information. I started having anxiety when I was in college I couldn't sleep well am gonna wake up in the middle of the night thinking oh I forgot to do my homework even though I did it. I constantly worry about something I don't know. What I did is I made a list a to do this it's actually helpful to lessen my worry. Until I started panick attacks I didn't even know. It's like losing your mind like ur about to pass out, die and every worse scenario u could think that will happen to you... I started feeling physical pain like back pain high blood pressure palpitations. Then lately covid attacks it's the peak of my panic attacks I totally thought I literally losing my mind. I asked my mom to see a cardiologist and we found out I have mitral valve heart disease which is already present in me when I was younger. It only got worsen because of my anxiety.... Not yet clinically diagnosed patient or to anyone who doesn't have access to professional treatment like appreciate this to help us understand more of how to cope up with our anxiety issues not to self diagnosed ourselves. To anyone who are suffering you are not alone seek a good person to vent out your stress. (Lucky me I have) Knoq you triggers of panic attacks. For me my triggers are deep conversation, eating dinner, dawn. Avoid them at all cost if not try to relax, breathe, think of something else instead of thinking ur panicking. Lastly be physically active. Walk it really helps don't lock yourself inside the house if not try to get ur self busy. Clean ur house...

As a Functional Medicine Clinician, and a Holistic Nurse Practitioner, I am so appreciative of this perspective.

Thanks for this video. I had my first therapy session ever, Sunday. I'm doing my best to figure out what i'm struggling with and how to cope before it destroys me more than it has.

Most appropriated video. So informative.

thank you med circle, I found dr Damani thru here, thankyou!

This is fantastic information. I am a medical provider in GA. I deal with anxiety daily, and I’m on the moderate-severe scale of anxiety- red zone. It does affect my work and I feel depersonalization, at times. I enjoyed this session while having a migraine.😞 I’m glad I found MedCircle. Referring this to all my associates. Covid-19 has exacerbated this anxiousness in all of us in the medical industry.

Self - AWARENESS ABILITIES. "How am I sounding during my discharge of emotions???? Look at other person's receiving my insightful information??? Communicating, 🗣️ speaking emotions to your loved one. Plans.

This is a gamechanger. I never wouldve thought that those floaty times were my anxiety dropping into a parasympathetic response. I always thought it was the opposite so id just do breath work and meditate.

I don’t know if I can do everything she is saying, but I love her for explaining this to us. What an amazing doctor. The part that we need to FORGIVE ourselves. I am getting divorced and wish I could have saved my marriage with this information.

Wow, that is important. I suffer from anxiety big time, so that I cannot maintain a job and 'normal' social life, so I'd definitly go search for more info about this very long named therapy! From the meantime I'm going to take notes from this video! Thank you, that was very instructive! Sometimes internet is so worth it...

Having g a bad moment so I found this video right now. So thank u. The breathing- we need to do it always. 😅 The 3 sec check in -how r u breathing g, oh ur not. Ok let's take some breaths. So I did. I'm calmer now. And I am mindful, but when I sleep 😴 I wake up and my overthinking mind gets the best of me. I hope with practice I can work on this better.

After a small hip injury, my lower body have some kind of weird burning sensation. I go back to the doctor. He inspected my X-ray image and check my body for any pinched nerve. He said I am really okay. No need to go back. I searched the internet for a while. And I realize it's actually my anxiety. I have anxiety for some years. But I don't know it can cause feeling like nerve damage.

This is actually brilliantly helpful advice, and lays out a simple direct path to get a better handle on anxiety, backed up by science. xoxo.

This explains a lot for me. I had tools as a adolescent and teen that helped me with anxiety. I didn't even know that was the name of that feeling. I have had my body loose health and fitness over the past 24 years. With the decline of my health, I couldn't do things I did before that helped me with my anxiety(of which I didn't know I had). I've learned a lot in the last 4 years: new things and names for stuf I knew\figured out for myself but didn't have a name for Or I didn't have words to express them. Thanks for your help.

I suffer from severe anxieties, just had a panic attack at work and emotionally had a mental breakdown due to my stressful job. I hate when my Manager keeps telling me to stop stressing - which causes me to feel bad about feeling anxious all the time or when my work colleagues say stop panicking. I blame this job because of the very people I work with. I isolate myself and love the silence but then I'm fighting against my thoughts when it's too quiet. What the eff is wrong with me. 😔😪🙁

What stood out to me is Dr. Lamb's ingenious leveling, that is, the 3 levels of anxiety. Because you'll constantly hear therapist saying you have to be mindful and accepting of your condition but they don't say WHEN, or HOW. Which makes it sound like absolute hogwash. These people never imply, that mindfulness includes action too (ex. from the vid - planking), on the contrary, they claim it means "going with the flow", or rather suffering the experience passively. And like the good doctor here explained, that simply *does not work* in the "red zone" (panic attack etc.) for anxiety. When and how are important, and since anxiety is obsessive in nature, this type of structured, active and analytical perspective makes all the difference in copying.

Can you do a series on motivating a young adult with Aspergers, please?

attune,attune.....compassion. excellent overview. thank-you.

The blurred vision aspect was a new idea for me. I didn't know about the 3 different levels before.

Oh my God that's exactly what was happening to me my blood pressure was going down but no doctor could figure it out this is unbelievable why don't all doctors know about this we can either get high blood pressure or low blood pressure from stress...

Compassionate mindfulness stood out. Thanks for bringing this to us.

That was amazing, thank you. What stood out to me was treating the different types/stages of anxiety with different approaches.

Thank you for this video!

stunning! Powerful... thank you !!!!!

Something that's been bothering me is that my problem really used to be the lower level symptoms, like the constant repositioning, or fidgeting when something triggers my anxiety to spike up, and then when I learned how to conquer that and through realizing people will only see how nervous we are when we use those (voluntary) tells, I was able to manage it and put a pin it. Confidence is supposed to feel uncomfortable, so that's when I learned that the people around me would expect me to do my regular tells, but when I don't and let it simmer I've won, so to say lol. Thattttt being said - like immediately after I was riding the wave of being over with that level, I've grown into the literal involuntary tells that are so indescribably bothersome to deal with and the cognitive disruptions. The facial twitching when I'm talking to someone new that I'm not exactly comfortable talking with all willy-nilly yet, or if I'm giving a presentation lol. It's so annoying because I can feel myself doing it, and while it's under my mask normally, it's still something that I worry is visible, and my only thought is to calm myself down but it seems I don't know how. Lol big rant just to say I think it's pretty bogus I graduated from something I could manage to getting these twitches all out the blue, just when I think I've got my anxiety under wraps lmao. Stress sucks.

She does an excellent job of explaining this!

Just excellence. Good stuff Dr. Lamb. Thank you Kyle K.

Chronic stress and anxiety can be deadly. Mine got so severe that my entire endocrine system shut down. It took weeks at the Mayo Clinic and an ungodly amount of meds, but I’m still kicking …knock on wood. 😕

I'm always holding my breath and not realizing it.

Is it possible to skip the second level? I think i go from 1 to 3 pretty quickly.

Well, this video was really very informative and helpful. Simple but effective. Great job 👍🏻

24 Hour Tinnitus left Ear ,With Trembling In Side My Body , Numbness In My Thumbs, Neck Shoulders Down My Back , Thighs And legs .

Very informative video. Offering a suggestion to feel better. Reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breath and mind [brain] are closely related causing stress-anxiety. For a better life sit on a chair, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. Slowly the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. Change happens from within by itself. Day or night, when taking a walk, sitting in a park, when reading, before sleep etc sit or lie down and observe your breath. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.

Constant dryness and too much airflow through the nose with ENS. I wish I could restrict my airflow. It's like being conscious of every breath.

Thank Dr. Lamb & Kyle; great information as always! I was wondering if you would make a video specifically about panic attacks.

Thank you for this, great advice 👏🏼

You both are so helpful. Thank you 😊

I always though (and experienced) fight, flight and “freeze”, or is freeze just an extreme form of flight? That semi catatonic state that renders one fetal in both posture and thought as if “The Bear” commonly used in the description of the a very natural response to a true life threatening situation,,, is chasing you but our logical mind steps in between our survival instinct and reminds us “hey meat you can’t run from this and you can’t fight it unarmed” so one hits the ground depersonalized not caring how it ends (alive or dead) but simply that it does indeed end, And to that some of us see life itself as this same conflict with death as the inevitable outcome to all that are unfortunate enough to draw their first breath The scale of happiness and positive life situation is just so heavily outweighed by the opposite in so many lives in so many countries were there are simply too many poor, downtrodden tools of socially elite I have been both, both are human, both are broken and I don’t wish to be either 60 year old sufferer of panic, agoraphobia, anxiety with some depressive episodes over 46 years, Unfortunately finding someone like this doc where I live is pretty much impossible I’ve been told my issues are existential in nature but after seeing any psychiatrist I have yet to leave without a unwanted prescription and finding a psychologist with this docs education and experience eludes me to this day Northeast PA, Lehigh valley just in case

Excellent video. I learned a lot!

I have involuntary muscle twitching/movement on my back left side of the body, particularly where the kidneys attached. Is it a sign of danger? I doesn't hurts or painful but just movement and increasing as my stress levels increases.

I really needed this information

This was so helpful. Thank you ❤️

I hate anxiety it took a lot from me I love playing basketball I feel like I don’t enjoy it anymore due to feeling off balance and dizzy I want to recover and get my life back.

Thank you so much you both!

Thank you for this 🙏

You got this K! 💛

I carry all my anxiety in my stomach & have several disorders of the digestive system as I've become older. Can this have anything to do with my chronic anxiety disorder?

I agree and really informative! Love how much clarity this video has.

Anxiety causes headaches and muscle aches and tension.

It is worse when I'm alone.

Looking great Kyle. This is what Buddhists have been banging on about for hundreds of years. Follow Thich Naht Hanh and read his classic " The Miracle of Mindfulness" .
