You just spent the past few months struggling with racing thoughts of your to-do list, work worries, and the “I should be taking better care of myself” rant only to have it reach a level of a panic attack.  Your chest tightens, it gets harder to breath, your palms get sweaty, and you just want to escape.  You have tried to manage the anxiety and stress by telling yourself it will get better and have even tried the occasional yoga class.  You have tried everything on your own and now it is time to reach out to a therapist.  But how?
