Episode 87 Anxiety , Trauma, and Addiction Relief with Eva Angert Harren

One Thing with Dr. Adam Rinde

When people are anxious, they often get sweaty hands, increased chest pressure, shortness of breath, feel lightheaded, and they may feel tingling sensations in different parts of their body.

By paying attention and having awareness to these symptoms and , they can start to calm down a little bit and self-regulate.

Yet when stuck in this loop of anxiety , people often turn to learned coping behaviors or addictions to deal with these unwanted sensations.

Learning to deal with this pressure cooker , before it turns into dysfunctional behavior, is something that is the work my guest Eva Angert Harren.

And according the Eva, dealing with the pressure cooker does not require changing your thoughts or trying to control things. Actually its quite different; it's more about the being with the body/somatic experience and learning to release it.

In this episode we go into this and much more.

Eva talked about her unique work helping people with anxiety , ptsd, and also spectrum related disorders; connect with their body and create awareness. This allows for more comfort with sensations and less anxiety and dysregulation.

Eva and I share a common bond as bereaved parents. I was surprised that we jumped into this topic in our conversation. Yet it was relevant. We discussed her somatic experience with the loss of her daughter, Kristina, and I share my somatic response during some experiences with my first son, Jordan.
