Hi, @januaryjane - thanks for sharing a strategy that has been effective for you in controlling anxiety. I'm certain other members would be interested in this and potentially have some questions or comments for you.
Mayo Clinic Connect director @colleenyoung actually mentioned her daughter has used ASMR and may be able to share more about how it's been helpful. Members like @jenniferhunter @nannyned @befferly @helenfrances and others also may be interested in this topic. Additionally, they may have personal experience with using the technique and if so, offer some feedback on their results with it.
What part of ASMR seemed weird to you at first, januaryjane? Which ASMR do you use? How have you found it's helped you?

I think its just a weird conception at first. But it made sense to me after i thought about the soothing things i feel, from everyday life, the sound of a broom sweeping, others humming or whistling. I never knew why certain sounds did that, now it makes sense. I think its great way to find a bit of good feeling and relief. I also like some of the guided meditations or breathing videos. Its so important to Breath right.

For me, my mind likes different sounds at different times. Some days i like the whispering, some days i cant do it. Im almost always soothed by hand movements, dunno why. It can feel like when you use a scalp massager on your head, when you get the sensational triggers. I think you gotta look around but the first two i started with are gentlewhispering with maria, and whispersred.
