Best concise description of stress vs. anxiety I've ever heard (in my 46 yrs of "recovery" from anxiety out of 77 yrs of life).

I sometimes do not realize that something stressed me out when it happens but, only after I go to sleep, I wake up early and could not go back to sleep as the thoughts go around and around. BUT THEN, I realize that I needed to take action re that. e.g. today: I called the person and cancelled the appointment that she kinda manipulated me into. After that, all my nerves relaxed and I was able to go back to sleep. So, thoughts and stress and whatever I feel need to be addressed by us without judgment. We do need to listen to our stress or anxiety and see if there is something we need to do. For me, that works and worked many times.

❤ and HI from a new fan (who just found your podcasts and has never heard of you or your book)! Your podcast during which your guest perfectly and concisely described stress vs anxiety, now has me hooked. I had my first panic attack in 1978. I overcame and learned how to stop anxiety instantly in this past year. I haven't stressed myself since then until two days ago, when i was able to understand it, do something about it and relieve it 2 days later. ❤ I'm a 77 year old female

I honor Dan’s willingness to share his experience with panic disorder for the benefit of his audience. Thank you. The experiences he described reminded me of a book I recently read called The Shaman's Book of Living and Dying by Alberto Villoldo and Anne O'Neill. In the book similar issues were relieved through session with the Shaman and attributed to present or past life traumas. It was an interesting read.

Wow, what an intense conversation. Dr. Jenny came across as highly credible and empathetic. I am going to buy her books.

In my case, ignoring obsessive thoughts and following my fears works.Yes, it's hard and sweaty work 24/7.But it yields results, maybe not immediately, but after a few months.Failures will happen, as well as steps backward. But if you take two steps forward and one step back, you are still moving forward.

Distraction is a double edged sword. Addicts have run wild with it. Distraction helps as a temporary break; a tiding over until we can find resolution and acceptance. How most of us live now is nothing but distractedness and an inability to alight upon the soft places unfamiliar in our own bodies and minds. It's sad and quite a jagged journey to stick with. It's how many of us grew up. Have a feeling = have a lollypop...draw a picture...listen to music. Creating liminal space between a stressful/unpleasant feeling or thought and the action that follows can allow the event to come naturally, live naturally, and also die a natural death. Distraction, innocuous as it can look, may just be building an internal library of books we'll never check out. Those of us who are more sensitive (which can be a life saving superpower among other things) are much more susceptible to addiction if we don't have a solid foundation in who we are and our value in the world. In general, toughness is celebrated more often. And if you take a person who feels a burn much more deeply than average, they may be inclined to medicate just to feel "normal" or functional. Of course, being sensitive isn't a problem at all, it only needs inclusion, roots and purpose. /l\

I have a thought on Distraction: if you follow healthy, good things that Distract you, you may be lead straight to something that might feed you, your loved ones, and your previously needy soul!!?!

Totally! I get you. However our default mode network and the very nature of distraction have other plans. Conscious and unconscious. Distraction is a soothing activity whether "good" or "bad", it still is avoiding the thing that needs attention. Like workaholism or exercising to numb out. Even playing music or volunteering can be avoidant and look really goo don a profile.@@solarhydrowind

@@solarhydrowind I can't afford it and there's no one who specializes in tapering off in Mexico (at least not where I live). Thanks but it's simply not a realistic option for me.
