In this very first episode of our new podcast series, The Therapy Room, we talk to Sanchita Agrawal, a licensed Clinical Psychologist at DocVita for some answers. Very often, every day, we are all dealing with unresolved emotions, past experiences, and behaviors that act as triggers.
Sanchita shares insightful tips and outlines grounding and relaxation exercises to calm ourselves in difficult situations.
We talk about:
- How to manage anxiety in everyday life
- Understanding triggers and how to cope with them
- What to do when you feel overwhelmed and panicky
- How to perform a grounding exercise and what tools you can use
- A breathing exercise that brings immediate relief when stressed
