I feel like when you care too much, that's when the anxiety kicks in. I remember being numb from a bad situation and did not care. I drove much better, went on highways, etc, but now I am back to myself, and now the anxiety is coming back. I am anxious about the speed and the bend of the freeway. I can't go fast enough. I fear losing control and end up in the other lane. My body grinch when a big truck passes me on the highway. I need help!!

Thanks I'm so grateful for DARE. I learn so much about how anxiety works.

Does anyone on here have anxiety because the road is bent a certain way? I have wicked anxiety of that, especially the ones on the highway.

How do I do exposure when my fear is crashing on purpose? I won’t drive. That intrusive thought terrifies me and the panic is off the charts!!!

How do I go about driving when my intrusive thoughts about driving off the bridge or crashing on purpose scare me to death?

Love this podcast!! Thank you.

What a wonderful episode! Thank you so much.❤️

I won’t drive because I have crazy thoughts of driving off the bridge or crashing on purpose. How do I deal with that?

Thank you! I’ve been working on acceptance of symptoms and trying so hard to be patient as I recover from menopause-induced anxiety disorder. I have made progress, but even though I thought I understood setbacks and bumpy patches as being an expected part of the process, I’ve still been struggling and feeling disappointed when they occur. However, I have a BA in psychology so this video speaks to me and I finally get it when I hear it put in the context of classical conditioning.

Thank you, Bary. This is video is helping me through a difficult relapse into panic disorder ❤

This is the only way...resistance creates friction that makes anxiety worst..let it flow and allow it 100%..

Michelle, your life’s work is very important and you are good at what you do.

The only difficulty I have with doing this is when I’m in a situation that requires my attention. If I’m at work talking to someone, I want to stay and not run off to a safe space. I want to stay and face my fears. My parents were over last night; and my mom was speaking negatively about her health and had said that someone she knew had a stroke. I immediately go into a full blown panic attack from hearing this, as I have when other people have talked about other health issues. I’m not sure how to do this in the middle of everything going on. I want to be present but it’s so hard to do right in the middle of things that require me to be there.

Cardiophobia can stop you exercising it’s a horrible feeling

I've recently downloaded the app and started reading the book. This was my first podcast I listened to and I feel personally attacked! 😂 Thanks for all the great information.

Your both soo funny 😂😂

Yes anxiety finds a way to find any random reason to form an issue. 😅 it’s all the same thing but it’s so innovative to catch your attention but all the same. I was also told don’t cry as a child And don’t make that face! When I was upset. I grew up hiding all my emotions ❤ I definitely don’t know how to handle uncomfortable feelings.

The change of weather definitely makes me confuse feeling hot with anxiety. Thank you guys for this you have no idea how much these videos help

You are a hoot!

It’s just an unconscious habit your subconscious and body falls into

What about if uou also have trauma such as cptsd? Does that change anything about this proscription tp deal with anxiety?

So how do you "practice" and go out and live your life and do what you have to do or would like to do if your anxiety/panic attacks trigger IBS-D attacks of diarrhea and vomiting where you're practically chained to a toilet for a while OR you have to be near one at all times just in case?

Dr Sanjay Gupta *The Best Doctor* !!!!

I don’t have support .

Where do I find dare to buy ?

I'm in the field and have to say, You two really know your stuff! I wish I would have found you a few years ago.

Does this apply to physical sensations as well (dizzy, unsteadiness)? I know you say a lot about thoughts, but would this apply to symptoms as well? Do we treat them the same way as we would our thoughts?

Makes so much sense. Thanks, Michelle. The modern Claire Weekes of today.

Healing develops in compassion, mercy and understanding. Grace…is the key. Critical, self condemning and frustration are fertile ground for anxiety.

I never knew that the dogs were taught to ‘un-learn’ the response!! Even though theoretically I know it’s possible to make new more positive associations and break old conditioning, this somehow has given me fresh inspiration and confidence . Thanks 🙏🙌✨💪✈️

Hope you’re ok Dee. It’s an awful feeling xx

I'm literally crying this makes so much sense.

When i listened positif affirmation you spread, I felt sad because i remembered how i was before i got a panic attack, and for today and the next day my soul rises to recover from this panic attack. Thankyou very much greeting from indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🙏🙏

Hey man it’s Dave 😂 Doesn’t anyone remember Cheech and Chong?

I have suffered a severe panic attack back in 2021, doctors have put me on clonazepam and other high doses of medicine but still I was affected. I went for psychotherapy but the doctor had given me breathing techniques which made my symptoms worse. Finally got to know about the flooding technique from doctor berry and within a week it was gone. Still in a year I used to get in a panic attack due to stress but it doesn't bother me at all as I used to say that it's a simple adrenaline rush it will not kill me nor give me a heart attack. Thank you Doctor Berry you are a life saver.

It's easy to feel logic and confidence in coping with a panic attack until you are in the middle of one

Idk It's Urges or normal But I Just Tend To Be in Freeze Mode always When Intrusive Thoughts Attacks The Most..😓💯

Sex with Unicorns should be the name of Michelle’s next book.

29:10 This is the main problem I have been dealing with. I feel validated as fuck right now oh my god.

The hilarious irony of this video is that it actually captures the true essence of meditation better than most I've seen lol.

Depersonalization sucks so much

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hey @Dare team! Would you consider doing a episode with Mark Freeman perhaps? I think it would be a great collab to see that many would benefit from :)

I’ve never talked about my experience with DP/DR because when I got out of it after years, I was more focused on living my life than talking about such a hard time in my life. After getting out of it, it wasn’t even that thinking would have brought it back. When I say it is gone, I mean it is GONE. I tried bringing it back multiple times just to make sure it was gone. Nothing I tried would bring it back. With that being said, please be patient with yourself! This is definitely a journey, but it’s not the end of your life. I thought I was DONE. Laying in my bed fully convinced that my life is over. Since then, I started a business, finished college, and I’ll be moving out of my home state and pursuing a new career! YOU ARE NOT BROKEN! YOU WILL RECOVER! If you’re wondering when… then that’s probably why you still feel that way. Get out and live as if it wasn’t there. It won’t feel good in the moment, but it’s part of recovery! If you have any questions, I’m here to help🤍

Both are so good at the help they provide

Is there a way for the DARE administration to look into opening an “only success stories” in the DARE app under buddy groups? Most of the stories I read is about people still panicking and having high levels of anxiety and symptoms galore! They are daring but still sounds like they are miserable in their anxiety journey 🫤

I wished more therapists would adopt this method... the light bulb went on for me and I am very grateful for having found your app and channel... Keep up the great work and giving hope to people with anxiety ♥❤🥰🥰🥰

Great message 🏆

This is great ❤
