[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 676172, member: 17461"] Have you read Brene Brown's work, Colleen? She is a shame researcher. It is her contention that we fear the discomfort of the anxiety we fear may be coming and then it does, and we fear it more the next time and it makes a nasty, unmanageable circle until we hardly know what to do with ourselves. Brene Brown writes that what will help is to have the feelings. Know the are coming and just sit there without trying to not have the feelings. Each time we survive the anxiety attack in this way, it takes down a little piece of that anxiety spiral. I have done this. It works for me about so many things, not only anxiety. I will reference Brene Brown TED talk for you, Colleen. Wishing you every success. I am sorry this is happening to you. Like everything wasn't already bad enough, right? Cedar Eckhart Tolle's [U]The Power of Now [/U]is extremely helpful, too. So, here they both are. :O) [MEDIA=ted]talks/brene_brown_listening_to_shame[/MEDIA] Eckhart is in this one, but there are other little bits of teachings on maintaining mindfulness you might like, so I referenced this one for you instead of straight Eckhart.
