In this short dialogue, Speaker A shares their struggle with anxiety and a strong desire to discontinue medication, expressing a need to learn alternative coping methods. They recount their experience with therapist Wendy, primarily using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and talk therapy, and how Wendy suggested meditation as a non‑spiritual technique to calm the nervous system. Although initially approached as a purely physiological practice, the meditation led to unexpected spiritual experiences for Speaker A. The conversation ends with Speaker A asking whether there are other modalities besides medication that have been helpful, highlighting a search for holistic, non‑pharmacological anxiety management strategies.
