• Have you ever felt anxious when driving?
• Have you ever had a panic attack?
• Have you ever felt an unexpected tingling sensation in your arm?
• Do you know how it feels when running a marathon?
• Have you ever pushed your body beyond your limits?

In all those scenarios, it’s quite likely you're going to experience some form of bodily-based sensation, and naturally, your brain is going to “make sense of it” by either perceiving it as a threat or as an insignificant sensation.

In this conversation with Dr. Diana Hill, you will learn specific skills to handle those uncomfortable bodily sensations, slow down, and fundamentally choose your response.
