Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I sit with the sensation and nothing bad happens, but my brain never seems to draw the conclusion from it
• I’m stuck endlessly in my head
• Right now my whole body is screaming danger and nothing here is actually wrong
• The moment I notice a flutter or a tingle, my mind instantly slaps a catastrophe on it
• I try to white-knuckle through it by distracting myself or looking away from what my body’s doing, but the dread of the racing heart never actually gets disproven that way
