Some anxiety strategies only work when your brain is calm enough to use them. In this episode, we take a more layered approach, looking at how your level of distress changes what’s actually helpful in the moment. When intensity is low, you have access to more cognitive tools. As it rises, simpler, more automatic responses become important. Instead of forcing one method to work everywhere, this episode focuses on matching the tool to the moment — and practicing ahead of time so the right response is there when you need it.
