How to deal with anxiety? We tell in the podcast "Plantain"

The fourth season of the "Plantain" podcast, a joint project of Lifehacker and Yandex Gois called "Route built". In it, we pave the route to the best version of ourselves, and the podcast host Yekaterina Tyurina is assisted in this by business coaches, development consultants, self-realization specialists and doctors of science. It will be interesting, we promise!

In the first issue we talked about how to set goals, motivate yourself and not burn out in the process. In this episode, we'll figure out how to deal with anxiety (but not all) and discuss:

• how to overcome a one-time anxiety attack and whether it should be done at all;
• what our fears are connected with;
• why panic attacks occur.

Alexey Krasikov, a specialist in dealing with panic attacks, helped Katya to worry less and our listeners, neuroses, anxieties and fears, as well as the founder of the School of Emotional Intelligence and the project "Neuroses megalopolis ".

01:09 - about what you can do if you are worried right now. Answer: Switch sensory attention, exercise or drink something herbal (as recommended by your doctor). But first, determine how much anxiety interferes with life.

06:14 - about neurotic anxiety and how to deal with it. Lesha advises to imagine how lemon juice drips onto the tongue. And no, this is not another way to lose weight.

08:07 - about images and our psycho-vegetative reactions to them. When we panic, anxious, or afraid of something, we constantly imagine images of deadlock, loneliness, defeat and death. We discuss why we react so painfully to the failures of our scripts.

11:41 - how to get rid of images. Lesha gives advice: "To fix something, you have to see it."

12:30 - about protective reactions. The presenter shared her own experience of increased anxiety: when the lips closed, the heart rate increased, and a lump in the throat did not allow to get a job. We discuss that we are controlled only by what we cannot allow.

16:06 - the importance of alternative scenarios. Without flexible options for the future, we will constantly be in tension.

16:53 - about panic attacks. We explain how the basic neurotic tension differs from psychogenic and situationally conditioned panic attacks.

20:59 - the effect of coffee and smoking on anxiety.
