It's normal to be left with a variety of thoughts and feelings after an allergic reaction, which sometimes then leads to changes in behaviors and confidence. On this episode, we will explore and share tips to help move through this normal post-reaction phase.

My guest on this episode is psychologist Fawn McNeil-Haber of Brave Minds Psychological Services in Scotch Plains, NJ.

Fawn and I explore the following: 

  • Common emotions experienced after a reaction
  • Strategies to help you work WITH feelings rather than fight against them
  • Post-reaction thoughts and what to do about them
  • Moving through physical stress sensations that may mimic reactions
  • Strategies to begin the healing process

[Tips discussed in this episode can be adapted to work for kids/teens as well]

Take advantage of two allergy-informed behavioral health clinicians discussing strategies to navigate this common post-anaphylaxis phase! And please feel free to let us know if this episode resonated with you by leaving a rating or review, or by sharing.
