'Of course, circus training isn’t some cure-all. I’m on medication. I’ve been in therapy.' -laurenemilywri
I let go and somersaulted forward, untangling on my way down, until I felt the loop of fabric under my arms.When I was diagnosed with, I never expected circus training to be a part of my coping strategy.
I’ve dealt with anxiety for as long as I can remember. I had crying fits in college when I got a B on an assignment. I can’t do confined spaces. I know I’m about to have a bad spell when I start losing sleep. Once I got an official anxiety diagnosis, I set out to find ways to make myself feel better. Traditional anxiety management tools were part of that—working with a mental health professional, meds, things like that.
I wasn’t a stranger to intense physical activity; I’d studied dance since age 4. But after that class, I felt something beyond just soreness. I wasI was there every Tuesday while my coach pulled, prodded, and occasionally sat on us. Then I started aerial training, where even the smallest movement is incredibly difficult. When my coach first suggested I try aerial, I laughed in her face. You’re literally lifting your own body weight and battling an apparatus that will give you bruises or clock you in the head! Cut to two months later: I went to a Saturday morning “taster” session and left $200 poorer, having committed to eight weeks of classes right off the bat.
