Don't Panic

Don’t Panic A lot of people suffer with panic attacks. I’m discussing panic today because there’s a lot we can do to reduce and manage panic. In most cases, panic is amplified anxiety. It’s anxiety that’s been left untended. Sure, some people have panic attacks out of the blue. However, most of what we see in therapy is people with anxiety who can’t get a grip on the anxiety, and then they go into panic. Panic is a visible kind of fear. It affects people’s lives in a profound way. It’s terrifying. People have panic attacks sometimes end up in the ER, because it feels like something physical is wrong with your body. Not only that, panic attacks stop people from REALLY living. Panic attacks that go untreated can make it hard for people to do everyday things, like go to work, driving, shopping, having a social life, and the list goes on. But how do we deal with panic attacks? To do this we need to both reduce and manage the panic. First, we work on reduction, then we deal with symptoms when they arise. Today’s podcast will get into the nitty gritty of ways to do both of these steps! Stick with me to learn more. Today's episode will walk you through a process to reduce and manage panic The last thing I’m going to say for now is this. Bring it on. “Bring it on” is the mindset of somebody who doesn’t have panic attacks. That is also the mindset of healing.
