217. Why Feeling 'Off' Can Spiral Into Panic (And How to Stop It)
Manage episode 485548881 series 2835553
In this episode of The Anxiety Chicks, Alison & Taylor are talking about that unsettling feeling when you just feel “off.” If you’ve ever had a random sensation or mood shift and thought, “Something must be wrong with me,” you’re not alone—and you’re definitely not crazy.
We’re breaking down:
- Why that “off” feeling can instantly trigger panic
- What your amygdala has to do with it (hint: it’s like a smoke detector on high alert)
- How anxiety creates a feedback loop that keeps your symptoms going
- The sneaky role of cognitive distortions, especially catastrophizing
- Why not every body sensation needs to be fixed or feared
- Plus, we share a few powerful tools that might just change how you respond to anxiety—especially when it hits out of nowhere.
If you’re tired of always feeling like your body is betraying you or your mind is out of control—this conversation is for you. We’ve been there, and you’re not alone. 💛
