Best non medication anxiety treatment

Have been through so many meds I can't tolerate (mostly significant gut issues). I just started therapy again with an amazing trauma therapist. What are you most effective strategies for reducing anxiety
Thank you 😊

Rest time after sessions

I had my third session today with trauma therapist. It's helpful and exhausting. I really like her and how she's guiding me. I realized I just need to plan to lie down and just rest for several hours afterwards before I even Decide to do anything else for the day. I met up with a friend afterwards and was just tired and foggy headed. Anyway, that's what I decided today. Next time, just allow my body to rest

Weaning off ORAL minoxidil

How did you stop oral minoxidil and what was it like? I've been on a low dose (1.25) for about 6 months and I'm pretty sure it's the reason I get light headed and just don't like being on prescription meds. I have TE
Thanks

Vaginal estrogen loading dose?

I just got a Rx and was told to apply 3x week but I'm reading that you can apply daily for a couple weeks and then taper to 4x for better results. Anyone else do the loading dose method?

Just started trauma therapy

I found a great therapist who I think is a good match for me. I trust her and have begun sharing my experiences. I'm feeling more emotionally labile and teary out of the blue in between sessions, is this common?

Transplant or anyone's view of customer service here

Is this a common thing in other states now or unique to New Mexico? Sometimes I feel like they just stick anybody on a phone at a doctors office. I just got a call from my GYN office saying that I had to reschedule because the doctor was going to be unavailable for my next appointment. This is the second time that they have done this with my appointments. I've had to call back and reschedule. This time I call and the person who answered is sounding muffled, and I asked her to speak up and that I couldn't hear her clearly and she got offended and snotty with me. I asked her if she could speak more directly into her microphone and she told me that she turned up her volume. (I'm sorry honey that's not how it works. I'm so frustrated)

Housemates and anxiety about toileting

I've been living in a very small house with another person. We have the same work schedule, we get up in the same time in the morning and leave for work at the same time, the house has old plumbing, and the toilet has easily overflowed in the past. Since living here, I have not been comfortable enough to have good bowel movements on a regular basis. I've always held stress in my gut and constipation is affected by stress. Do you think once I move out I'll be able to relax and have a normal bowel movement again. I think I will, I'm very hopeful. Anyone been in a similar situation?
