The process of CBT involves two broad steps. Number one: locating the cognitive distortions that may be causing your anxiety and panic attacks. Number two: replacing those distortions with healthier and accurate thoughts that make you feel better.
Can your evening drink be triggering those panic attacks? Matthew from Panic Attack Recovery dives into this pressing question, sparked by a subscriber's curiosity. It turns out, there's a deeper link between alcohol and panic attacks than many might think. Studies are showing a significant overlap in the symptoms of panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and alcohol withdrawal. This episode sheds light on how self-medicating with alcohol is common among those with undiagnosed mood disorders and ADHD.
But don't lose hope! Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be effective for people struggling with both alcohol dependency and panic disorder. Matthew explains how CBT works by identifying and changing negative thought patterns. If you're dealing with panic attacks or alcohol issues, this episode offers practical advice and underscores the importance of seeking professional help. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the intricate relationship between alcohol and anxiety.
