Drove 20 minutes out of my ‘safe zone’ for a short walk as part of my exposure therapy today! Really trying to embrace and accept the physical sensations that arise, and the huge fear of having a panic attack, without relying on any safety behaviours. The sensations definitely came, and I could feel the panic start to rise, but instead of resisting I really tried to accept it and let it be. Didn’t end up having a panic attack, and I’m proud of facing the exposure!
