Breathing Anxiety: Understanding and Managing Breath-Centered Worries
“The trick here is just recognize it not as a breathing or a breath problem, but an irrational, intrusive, obsessional thought problem, and attack it that way.”
Have you ever worried about forgetting how to breathe or felt like you can't get enough air? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata tackles the often misunderstood world of breath-centered anxiety. For those grappling with panic disorders or agoraphobia, these worries can feel overwhelming. Drew dives into two common types of this anxiety: the fear of forgetting to breathe and the sensation of 'air hunger', where taking a deep breath seems impossible.
He breaks down why these fears are more about obsessive thoughts than actual breathing problems and shares practical tips to help manage them. Through mindfulness, relaxation techniques, and learning to breathe slowly and deeply, Drew offers a path to calm those relentless worries. If breath-centered anxiety is part of your life, this episode is packed with insights and strategies to help you breathe easier, both literally and figuratively.
