Disordered: Anxiety Help

Heat Anxiety (Episode 68)


Listen Later

Summer has arrived in the US and the UK, so let's talk about anxiety based on the heat. Summertime is often a difficult time for people struggling with anxiety disorders because the seasonal change in temperature becomes an anxiety trigger.


Today the guys are talking about:


  • How heat is just uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable in any way is often unacceptable for people with anxiety disorders.
  • Heat may trigger feelings that resemble panic attacks or that might remind you of times in the past when you've had scary or difficult experiences that you've attributed to high temperatures.
  • How anxiety disorders will argue irrationally about the danger or risk posed by summer temperatures, often totally discounting the ability of humans to exist quite safely in a very wide range of even extreme climates.
  • Typical exposure ideas that target heat centric anxiety.
  • Why working on your heat anxiety means you're also working on other triggered because heat anxiety is just another expression of the single core fear that comes with things like panic disorder or OCD - that thoughts, feelings, and sensations will be too much.

  • As usual there are questions from the community and a few "did it anyways" to provide encouragement and inspiration.
