A downloadable exercise in thought

A common therapy exercise to soothe anxiety or panic attacks is to do an alphabet list. Like, "list bands from a-z" or "list foods from a-z" "list artists" etc etc.

I had a lot of panic attacks and my best friend and I burned through the lists pretty quickly because really they're hard to repeat and there's no engagement. I don't have to really think about why i said orange for o. I can only list lifehouse as a band for l so many times. It wasn't enough and one night very late, or early morning rather one of us said "...how about who would you punch? Like a-z?" 

And that worked perfectly.

Thank you so much for this brilliant idea. A therapist friend told me once that anxiety is like a storm: you cannot stop the storm, you only look for a way to pass through it. 

But i think this can be very helpful. I will suggest the list in my group therapy and write back at you to tell how it goes. 

Love

i didn’t see this!! I’m so happy and I hope it helped! I always say that as well, the storm will pass and the only way out is through! 

Oh it did help! I am periodically in dark places and it helped a lot with anxiety attacks.
