Summary
Couch Talks is the bonus episode of You Need Therapy that comes out every Wednesday where Kat answers questions that listeners send to kathryn@youneedtherapypodcast.com. This week, Kat responds to a listener question about staying present during stressful moments. She shares her favorite technique to help when feelings of overwhelm or anxiety start to creep in—the 5 Senses Technique (Something you can Taste, See, Hear, Feel & Smell). Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, or just need a break from it all, this simple yet effective exercise can bring you back to the present. Kat explains how you can use this method in everyday life and even create a go-to "sensory kit" to keep on hand when things get tough.
