22. What To Do When You're Spiralling

This episode guides you through what to do when you're "spiralling". The downwards spiral is a very common experience for those living with complex PTSD – one second you're triggered, then your thoughts start racing, you start catastrophising, everything all of a sudden feels overwhelming and before you know it, you're lost in the vortex. We chat about what "spiralling" feels like, the mindbody connection, and I share some tips and insights that can help you navigate those moments when you feel like you are starting to lose control.
