On pausing your panic
Listen on
Episode notes
Nik and Eva Speakman explain why panic attacks are your body’s way of protecting you and keeping you safe. Creating a timeline will help make sense of your panic long term, but what are some mechanisms to pause the panic in the moment? They talk through how sighing, focusing in on your senses, and saying thank you to your body could be useful for you. Nik and Eva also open up about what triggers panic for them personally, including late night phone calls and bumps to the head.
