Hi, Seth. I had, in 2013 and 2017, a vertigo attack. Since it didn’t stop, I had to call an ambulance, and the other time I went to the hospital, I’ve seen specialists, but they couldn’t find any physical issues. I’m worried it’ll happen again. Now, when I’m in social situations, I feel dizziness, which comes up from the neck and head, and I have anxiety, which makes it worse. I’ve got generalized anxiety and early trauma as well. What can I do?

Hi Seth. I’m having difficulty with my vision, particularly in the left eye, which seems to go out of focus. Occasionally it spreads to both eyes. I’m struggling to know what to do when it happens, and I tend to panic, which I know isn’t helpful. Wondered if you have any advice.
“I have a serious procrastination problem bordering on ergophobia. When I start working, I become activated. My heart rate increases, I have tension in my head, my mind becomes constricted, making it tough and unpleasant to work and write. However, I know that when my mind is relaxed and without fear, I can do good work. I like working, but I do not know how to get to that state. Please advise
I have an extensive amount of dental trauma starting at age two. I now have a good dentist and a hygienist, but my mouth still feels like a war zone. And anyone doing work in my mouth feels incredibly violating. I had a cleaning last week and I can still feel the excess tension I’m carrying in my head, neck, and face from that experience. Do you have any suggestions on how I can release the survival stress after dental work or reduce the activation during procedures?
“Is there anything specific I can do for tightness in my neck that keeps occurring with constriction only on the right side? It occurred a couple of minutes into the kidney practice today, followed by a sense of panic rising. I paused, oriented, shifted attention between my neck and safety in my body.”
“As I’m able to track my sensations and emotions, I notice it’s easier to cry. To experience sadness and fear, as opposed to anger. And I’m able to rationalize some for the people that have hurt me.” That sounds like maybe you can understand where they were coming from, kind of deal. “They say hurt is under anger, and I don’t want to bypass that emotion altogether.”
