In the Moment Class

In tonight's "In the Moment" Class, we spoke about how our everyday experiences can
result in  symptoms of anxiety and depression.
 
We further discussed methods to reduce the symptoms experienced such as panic attacks or depression . Methods such as, Body Scans, can help to identify the earliest signals that your body gives before going into a full on panic attack.
 
Another method to reduce symptoms and anxiety and or depression, is through Intellectual Compartmentalization which is where a person would first acknowledge the experience that is occurring; next the person would separate the physiological reactions such as rapid heart beat, shaking, sweating, difficulty breathing, low energy, fatigue, or irritability from their thoughts. The final step is to continue in activities that would require the persons full attention and distraction.

Generally, the duration of a panic attack lasts 10-30 minutes. However, for the person experiencing experience them, it feels much longer. By utilizing techniques as those mentioned above can shorten the duration, lower the intensity, and reduce the frequency of these attacks.
