The Idea of the Week
One difference between anxiety and panic attacks is that “anxiety attack” is not a medical term, while “panic attack” is a medical term. Healthline shares more about the Difference Between a Panic Attack and an Anxiety Attack.
While “anxiety attack” is not actually a clinical term, it is a useful term for people’s spectrum of experiences. This 5-minute read from Verywell Health shares the definition of an anxiety attack, the symptoms and causes, and a few self-care strategies to help with anxiety attacks including:
- getting adequate sleep
- practicing mindfulness and mediation
- practice progressive relaxation
- build your social support system
- practice yoga
- practice deep breathing
- use mantras
- use positive visualization.
Practice of the Week
Dr. K from HealthyGamerGG shares What Do You Do When You Have a Panic Attack (a 34-minute video) by first sharing an overview of panic attacks and panic disorder, what happens during a panic attack, then what we can do when we’re experiencing a panic attack.
Dr. K notes an important distinction about panic attacks: we assume panic attacks and anxiety are related and that the origin of a panic attack is mental in nature, but this is not necessarily the case. Panic attacks are physiological in origin.
Dr. K also shares that it is appropriate to seek emergency medical services when you’re experiencing a panic attack because “it’s not your job to differentiate between cardiac arrhythmia and a panic attack.” If the panic attack passes and you didn’t seek emergency services, then the next day or the following days you may want to seek a medical evaluation.

Family Constellations and Sharing of Ancestral Knowledge Workshops with Tati
Join Tati on her first US visit from her home in Ecuador, where she owns a healing and psychotherapy practice working with sacred plant medicine, ancestral healing, and art therapy.
Family Constellations is a type of therapeutic approach that focuses on exploring the dynamics within a person’s family system, including their relationships with parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family members, even ancestors. This approach can be used to address a variety of issues, such as relationship difficulties, emotional blocks, and unresolved traumas.
This workshop involves a group of participants who come together to explore their own family dynamics through a series of exercises and discussions led by our facilitator, Tatian Davila, a psychotherapist, healer, and seeker of ancestral knowledge. Tati will offer 2 workshops as well as individual healings. The workshops will be held at Breathing Space Studio in Erieville, NY.
The Family Constellations Workshop will be held on April 22, 2023, from 10 am to 4 pm.
The Sharing of Ancestral Knowledge Workshop will be held on April 23, 2023, from 10 am to 4 pm.
