Welcome to the first episode in our series Unwrapped: Ginny and Georgia!

In this series you'll get the chance to meet Sunshine City Counseling's Teen specialists Ciara Gorby, Alexis Younes, and Cara Reiff as they take you through Season 2, picking apart different mental health themes along the way.

In this episode, Ciara and Alexis talk about a common trend in the show and in reality: anxiety, panic attacks, and self harm. We differentiate between anxiety attacks and panic attacks because let's face it, we use those terms interchangeably, (and we get it, we mess up sometimes too!) but are we using the terms correctly?

This podcast gives general information on the three topics and helpful coping skills, such as TIPP, to alleviate anxiety and panic attacks, along with ways we can reduce self harm. This episode sets the scene for what you will get to look forward to as the series continues!
