From Vertigo To Victory: Coping With Sensory Triggers And Anxiety | Episode 358
We share a personal story about facing bright lights and motion without our usual tools and what that taught us about progress with anxiety. Along the way we offer practical ways to choose seats, plan exits, and lower sensory load so crowds, concerts, and travel feel doable.
• mission to help people at scale and invite support
• early vertigo under blue light and motion triggers
• blue light glasses as partial relief not a cure
• unexpected success at a planetarium without tools
• therapy, medication, and coping skills as a stack
• permission to leave early and try short stints
• aisle seats, sitting back, and easy exits
• arriving early to choose space and reduce crowd stress
• hats, ear protection, and previewing audio levels
• mapping bathrooms and exits before anxiety spikes
• writing down what works to spot patterns
