The Anxious Calm, a website I created, off ers a resource and community for those doing their best to cope with anxiety. A JOURNEY FOR CLIENTS AND PROFESSIONALS Navigating life with panic disorder and CPTSD has profoundly impacted my experience with skin care and overall well-being. The intertwining of mental and physical symptoms presents a unique challenge, particularly with the heightened skin sensitivity that accompanies my anxiety. Through this journey, I have learned that managing anxious skin requires a holistic approach, combining minimal and fragrance-free skin care routines with lifestyle changes and mindfulness practices. For skin care professionals, recognizing the signs of anxiety-induced skin issues in your clients and approaching them with empathy and understanding can make a signifi cant diff erence. By fostering a collaborative environment and providing resources for holistic support, both clients and professionals can fi nd a path toward relief and resilience. Notes 1. Laura J. Dixon, Sara M.
