Last time I went I was incredibly panicky and had an internal panic attack most of the time. Four months (&amp; a lot of exposure) later, I went again and didn’t have one! I was very close at first and wanted to run out of there, but I sat through the feelings. I ended up talking the whole time to my stylist and I felt like my old self again! It seems that distraction is the best technique to manage my attacks. It doesn’t always work, but it definitely keeps me out of my own head.
