I waited outside my therapist’s office with my headphones on because sometimes sitting in the waiting room makes me a bit anxious. The headphones allow me to block out outside noises but it still leaves inside ones. At least I’m able to block something out.
When my trigger response is high I focus on one instrument and listen to it. I then listen to each instrument and recognize how it compliments the others. Basically I dissect the piece then put it back together again. It helps me not panic and not see or hear every single thing around me. It calms hypervigilance more than anything else I’ve ever tried.
