Hello! I went to my very first “REAL” therapy session and I think it went okay. I’ve been having anxiety/panic attacks for about 6 months now. I say “real” because I’m in the military and they offer something called Military Family Life Counseling and I previously went to that. This woman was very nice but she could not help me at all. A lot of the methods she tried were very inefficient and sometimes made my attacks worse. I come to y’all because my NEW therapist gave me a new method and I’d like some feedback from this community! It’s called the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 method and it seems like it might work. If you aren’t familiar with this method, it’s for when you’re having a panic attack and you’re supposed to recognize 5 things that you can see 4 things you can touch 3 things you can feel 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste. I’m always open to feedback, thanks!
