I've had such bad anxiety and trauma over an aspiration/choking incident that happened around spring 2018. At first I didn't eat for almost a day or drink anything, but then that following night I ate.
It's not resurfaced though. Its been difficult for me to eat and drink fluids. Sometimes I freeze up while drinking water as one of the responses and I aspirate a little bit. I catch myself having my hands shake as well. When I tell myself that this shouldn't be happening to me or that it should go away faster it makes it worse.
When I talk to my self and think of the successes I've had it helps a bit. When I think that oh a little water? I'll wheeze a bit for air sure and then cough it up. It lasts a few seconds. But the trauma comes from the incident in 2018. The person I was with I asked recently how long it lasted for, the spasm with my vocal cords/choking. She said about a minute. To me it lasted about 10 minutes. But it was still serious. I think I've given up so much power to this fear that keeps me safe.
Some things I do now to get through the day knowing I have to face this fear everyday to survive (if I don't drink water I die):
Think about successful things I've done
If I get terrified its ok, I walk outside or look outside and try to relax
I try to take a deep breath and not focus on breathing water but focus on relaxing (If while taking deep breaths I focus on the negative then I gasp for air out of fear while drinking water and it causes issues)
I try to think of what's on the other side of the road, like if I'm here and there's a mountain in the middle, do I focus on what's on the other side or how steep, and scary the mountain (fear) is?
I tell myself I am responsible
I tell myself it was ok to mess up as when I aspirated in 2018 I tried chugging what I thought was a few drops of kombucha left and little did I realize it was a lot actually and I didn't know what to do so I tried swallowing it but I think in the process breathed a little while gasping and having the rest go down
I'm also starting to meditate a bit more and focus on other things - I've read somewhere that a purpose and self determined living helps
Also reading inspiring quotes
Gradual exposure even if it means sipping water
All in all I think for me its been about reclaiming trust in myself and taking power back from fear and its a struggle I don't know how long will last

I believe I have lived my whole life in freeze ( and fawn) ‘disability’ from child abuse survival mode. I have a lot of grief about my ‘wasted’ life living gripped in fear. I’d love to access this type of therapy and recovery

I am taking a class from Richard Grannon.

@Britt Shirriffs I am in the same leaky boat. I hope both of us can find our way through it and experience lasting peace.

Emma, I am a Psychotherapist in Canada and I just wanted to tell you that I've seen a few of your videos and I think you have an amazing skill of presenting information in such a digestible fashion. I like your simplistic, brief and warm approach. You are definitely a huge asset to the therapy community and all of humanity. Thank you for your videos.
