#2.1 How I overcame anxiety and panic attacks

#2.1 How I overcame anxiety and panic attacks

In this episode I share my approach to healing myself from anxiety and panic attacks. Since last year I've been through a lot and only recently I've felt like myself again.

I did not document my healing journey because I needed privacy. I felt very vulnerable and weak, and I could not have been on the screen. It was a very painful healing process and I needed to be alone with my thoughts and emotions.

I share the exact steps I took to recover and I mention a list of books that have helped me tremendously.
