Скачать или смотреть The Physical Side of Anxiety: Chest Pain, Dizziness & More!

In this episode, Lucy is joined by Micheál who found himself struggling with physical symptoms of anxiety when he left university. Having no idea what was happening, he was understandably quite concerned by the light headedness and chest pains which resulted in trips to the doctor and even the hospital – to be told it was ‘just anxiety’.

Micheál fell into an anxious thinking pattern – worrying that he would feel anxious, hyperawareness of his bodily sensations, and catastrophising the outcome, which fuelled panic attacks.

So, what did he do to overcome it?

1) Understand it – realise these anxious symptoms weren’t happening ‘to’ him – they were being created by the way he was thinking
2) Start responding differently – changing his self-talk to “this is unpleasant uncomfortable, I’d rather not feel this way, but it’s not dangerous, I can handle this”
3) This allowed him to start getting himself through these anxious moments without panicking and running away
4) And then he would process it well, so he gained confidence in his abilities and was able to keep progressing

If you’re struggling with this at the moment, we’re here for you. Been there, felt it, and come out the other side, so feel free to reach out for some guidance and support.

The Thrive Programme® is mental health training that teaches people the skills and resources to overcome mental health issues and learn to thrive.

Thriving people have a skill-set that makes them more robust, resilient, and confident… they feel powerful and more in control of their lives… they are less prone to stress, anxiety or depression and they generally live longer and happier. Thriving people find it easier to resist social pressures, take more responsibility for their physical and mental health and live a more positive and active life.

The programme is evidence-based, fun to learn, and – much like riding a bike – once you’ve learned to do it, you’ll always have the skills.

It’s very easy to follow, usually takes – on average – just six weeks to complete, and is accessible to all people of all ages.

You can study the programme at home by yourself with one of our manuals (currently being translated into a number of other languages, as well as a version for the Visually Impaired), be guided through it with a specially-trained Thrive Programme Coach® (either face to face or online), or by attending one of our events or bootcamps. Either way, the results are predictable, quantifiable and long-lasting.You can read hundreds of written testimonials, find out more about our Programme, get lots of help for working through the book and even find a Thrive Programme Coach® to give you that extra insight, at our website: www.thriveprogramme.org
