Pause: Let's Get You to the Dentist - Navigating Dental Chair Anxiety [Pause 29]

Let's get you feeling safe and secure in going to the dentist! This is a huge anxiety trigger for many of my clients, so I'm offering some of my tried and true methods for helping you to feel safe and not needing to take the entire day off after a cleaning or procedure.

In this episode, I get you mentally reset and ready to get to the dentist (and to take me with you)! While I am with you in your earbuds, I lead you in some guided practices while you're in the dental chair.

In this episode we:

1. Get Present

2. Prepare to Leave for the Dentist

3. Sit Together in the Waiting Room

4. Practice Activities as Your Dental Work is Being Done

5. Celebrate that You Did It!

Pause episodes aim to improve the connection between your mind and body. We practice mindfulness and mental focus, which have been found to improve the blood flow in your left hemisphere of the brain. These episodes are identified by the white raven on the podcast cover art, and each episode addresses a different topic to assist you in practicing being settled and grounded.
