Over Sophie
Sophie learnt the hard way that you cannot simply push panic attacks away. She learnt to live with them, step by step, and speaks openly about that journey.
Aanpak
Uses very small experiments of no more than five minutes a day, so they always feel manageable.
Tips van Sophie
- Look for the pattern before looking for the solution.
- Schedule recovery time in your calendar, just like an appointment.
- Celebrate the days that went well; they count too.
Voorbeeldgesprek
I'm actually ashamed of it.
That makes sense, and it's also exactly what keeps it going. I hid it for years. What's the worst thing you think would happen if someone knew?
That they'd think I was weak.
The opposite happened for me. Shall we practise how you could tell someone you trust in just one sentence?
