OK, in the last two videos we talked about the difference between an anxiety attack and a panic attack, and how you can get stuck in a cycle of having panic attacks. In this video we’ll talk about how to stop panic attacks. It’s a bit paradoxical, but it works.
In the previous video we talked about the panic attack cycle. 1- a sensation or feeling, 2- you judge that feeling to be unacceptable, bad or dangerous, 3- this triggers an escalating FFF response, and 4- your brain learns that panic and anxiety are “dangerous”.
So let’s take a deeper look at step 2, the thoughts that transform a physical sensation into something we see as dangerous. Here are common ways of thinking that trigger panic attacks.
The Big issue is believing that panic attacks are dangerous.
Panic attacks are inconvenient, they are uncomfortable, they can be embarrassing or they can interfere with what you want to be doing- but they aren’t physically dangerous.
All these uncomfortable symptoms are just the body tossing you into FFF mode, which makes it less likely that you’ll pass out, stop breathing or any of those other fears. If someone is having a panic attack and they go to the ER, an EKG will show a regular, but rapid heartbeat. You pass out with low blood pressure, a panic attack takes your blood pressure up. Heart attacks feel worse when you walk around, move about, panic attacks feel better.

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.

Does anyone else's panic attacks literally feel like they are going crazy and feel like you'll never get out of it?
For whatever reason (possibly because my father is schizophrenic) I have intense fear that I'm going to hallucinate and go fully crazy during panic attacks. I've heard this thought is common. It does feel you're going crazy because it can feel like an altered state + physical symptoms. I get blurry vision like I'm in a dream and dizzy. Feels crazy for sure. Just know that panic attacks cannot cause you to be psychotic. That is a whole different disorder. these sensations are due to an overactive nervous system, not brain abnormalities that cause psychosis.
I think that a lot of people do feel that way. one thing that may help is to label those as "thoughts" not feelings. ie "I'm having the thought that I'll never get out of this" "I'm having the thought that I'm going crazy" just because you think something doesn't mean it's true. Just because you feel a certain way, doesn't mean it's true.

@@TherapyinaNutshell isn't this cognitive defusion? separating yourself from your thoughts and viewing the thought itself?
@@theyopo3426 no, it's called learning being distance from thoughts and feelings to not be overwhelmed by them
It’s not just a panic thought, it’s the very intense body sensations that can come without any thoughts at all!
That’s what I’m feeling. I hope this video helps a lot. Also I think a lifestyle change is in order… need to remove some stressful things from life and workout!
This is what I was finding the hardest. All my issues have gone away now since starting a SNRI. I feel normal again after being in that horrible state for 3 months.
Exactly
I get the physical symptoms without thinking or fearing or worrying about anything. Just out of the blue, out of nowhere. Labored breathing, weight on my head, clinch my teeth, tightness in throat, chest pain.
i have the physical symptons but no thoughts. My therapist in IOP suggested my panic attacks could have a genetic component and she said grounding techniques such as meditation and yoga in the morning and night could help.
It’s 2:22am and here I am. I’m afraid to go to sleep because I can’t breathe correctly and keep startling awake. I pray everyone coming to this channel is able to get some relief and back in control of themselves. Thank goodness for this video
Same😢
I Hope you’ll do better, you are not alone ok ? We’re all in this 💗
Same situation here right now. the comments also help to feel less alone
Same 😢
@@luffypunketaI agree. I feel less alone when reading these comments. But it's also very hard to carry in my daily routine and work when feeling like this 😢
Since I found this video about a week ago everytime I feel a panic attack happening, I come back to this video and read more and more of the comments and I find it so therapeutic to know that I’m not alone in my suffering and there is people who are going through the same as me because I feel so alone in my struggling right now
I swear this is what I was thinking right before reading your comment. “Wow, so many people are struggling with the same feelings I’m having. There ARE, people who know what I feel and would understand me.” I feel so alone, no one I know really knows what it’s like to feel panic almost 24/7. It started happening after a concussion and that was three years ago. Started getting better then I got covid. I do even remember who I was before. My whole life is based and worked around how I feel. I want my life back. But the worst part is people in your life thinking your full of it. The isolation and not having someone understand you at all is so heartbreaking. I hope others have found some comfort in these comments too. Sometimes knowing you’re not alone and just really being seen, makes a big difference. ❤
Hi, I'm a new sufferer
You’re not alone.
8 months later and you still here?!
@@tishasg me too

I've had panic attacks for the last 6 years relatively consistently. I've been to 4 different therapists and so far this is the best advice I've received. Thank you so much, it's really changed my perspective on all of this.
Emma and Dennis Simsek both say the same thing, acceptance. It’s the only advice (and I’ve read many books, been in therapy, watched hundreds of videos) that has resonated with me.
read the book at last a life
I'm so sorry that has been your experience. Many therapists are trained in general talk therapy, but they haven't gotten the training to do specialized work with panic (or trauma or OCD or other specialized approaches)
@@joeltunnah I swear to god the I’ve seen her in my dreams before man. She’s the real deal
Hi have you seen improvement?
Hello if you’re reading this and you’re having a panic attack right now
I’m here, we’re all here okay ?
You are not alone, we’re all in this.
You are fine, this is nothing new remember? You’ve already experienced it, and you survived, you will survive again.
This is not dangerous it is just an uncomfortable feeling, and all you feel is fear and fear is also not dangerous this will not harm you 🫶🏽
You will be all good this will be over in a few and you’re going to be just fine
Thank you ❤️
I had many panic attacks for one month and rn I was about to have one again. When I read this comment it make me feel better and calm down. It's the worst feeling ever and it's my first time experiencing them the worst part is that I have an overthinking mind and I can't control my thoughts . It starts by a voice telling me "you will forget how to breath and then you are going to di3" I know it's a lie but sadly I over think about it and then start to give more attention.
Thank you for this helpful comment and also this video which calmed me so much❤
This CD has three separate relaxation/meditation sessions on it ruclips.net/user/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq guided by a very pleasant and direct male voice. Unlike so many other products of its type, this CD does not have bad synthesizer music, does not feature a phony or affected style of narration, and does not make any bogus claims to be subliminal or to re-train the brain or any of that balderdash. What you get is 1. a guided meditation for getting into a pleasantly relaxed state of body awareness while taking a stroll (superb for those easing back into a fitness routine slowly after an illness or injury) 2. A nice long breath-awareness relaxation session that if followed diligently can put you into very deep states of full-body relaxation and mental calmness, and 3. a buddhist-inspired meditation session designed to help you develop and maintain feelings of loving kindness toward not just yourself and your friends, but toward people you don't even like. The CD makes no claims to be designed for advanced meditators or for buddhists or hindus/yoga practitioners looking for very deep and esoteric stuff. It is geared more toward the average person who just wants to develop the habit of relaxation and stress relief through natural, healthy means. him, if you happen to be reading this, keep up the good work fella, and I love your accent. I would also like to note that I have never fallen asleep while listening to this product. I would like to kindly suggest to the reviewer who said this CD makes him fall asleep, that he might want to get checked to see if he has a sleep disorder, or if he is simply not setting aside ample time for restful sleep at night. A healthy person getting adequate rest at night should be able to go into deep states of mental relaxation without dozing off, if not all the time, then most of the time.
Panic attacks are the worst thing ever! I’ve gone to the ER with the feeling I was dying and having a heart attack only to find out it was just my anxiety in overdrive. I’ve had 4 panic attacks in the last week and find it is the worst cycle to be in, it’s miserable and so hard. I feel for those who go through the same thing. We got this! Anxiety is not who we are…
This video instantly calmed me down from a bad attack coming on, so thank you!!
Are you free from panic attacks?
Meeee tooooooooo 3 times 😢 I can’t control mine as they were all incidents to do with a thc gummy a blunt years ago and most recently I had one due to a strong antibiotic I was put on first one i was calling 911 this one lasted 25 mins opposed to the other two that were drug related so to speak! Never againnnnn
How do you stop yours? Mine come on every day around the same time out of nowhere!
@@feverdream5622 hey! I’m so sorry for the delayed reply. I’m not 100% free from them, sadly I won’t be for the rest of my life as recently I was diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder. But, I have come a longgg way from when I last wrote this. The best things for me have been going on medication and seeing a therapist (CBT therapy) I know it may sound cliche but it does work, you just have to truly believe in yourself and create a good support network.
@@Holidaygirl7 omg! That sounds intense! I can’t imagine what you went through at the time
I just had my first panic attack-free morning in over a month! This advice was exactly what I needed. You have no idea how grateful I am. Thank you, Emma.
So happy for you! This series has stopped my recurring panic attacks too.
Been dealing with these for 20-30 years and this approach is what finally seems to be working for me
YOUR AWESOME 🥰
Panic attacks for a month straight; that’s really tough! I hope things are going better now 🙏🏻
@@ShaheenGhiassy thank you. Things are much better now. I’ve made a lot of changes. I moved my home office out of the basement so now I get sunlight during the day. I’m on a good mix of meds, namely citalopram, gabapentin and Red Bull. I don’t know why Red Bull helps but it does. I’m also reading Chemistry of Calm which has helped me increase my resiliency to stress.
She said exactly that I have been doing. When anxiety attack, I tell the anxiety, " come on anxiety, give me your biggest hit I would not stop you and run away from you. And all you can do it just making me uncomfortable. That's all you can do "
Thats right...actually welcome it and mean it
Yup Acutally It Really Works Tell Anxiety To Hit Me And It Will Do Nothing But If You Stop It It Hits Harder
@@TSM-Entity-KRSNA I agree
Did that work for you
@@at2500 it did not work right away but took me between 6-8 attacks to stop it in the period of more than 3 months. I felt gradual less and less after 4th episode. By 7 or 8th episode, I was no longer in panic mood but still having anxiety on and off. However, inviting and don't run away from attack is just only half truth. The other half and hard to do is to learn to accept, daily meditation, deep breathing, and practicing making friend with anxiety.
I get them from worrying about something like if someone will get in trouble or hate me. It's something in my heart
I can't tell you how amazing it felt to smile during my panic attack, and then start smiling wider because I realized that i felt happy and okay.
"Fear, bring it on. Go ahead. Make me as anxious as possible". "I can feel the fear and do it anyway". Thank you for this encouraging and uplifting words. I hope and pray that all of us who is currently suffering from health anxiety and panic attacks brought by the pandemic will get better and better everyday ❤️
sound advice!
Amen
Mine was not brought by pandemic but I hope I get through this and be normal like I use to be cause I’m scared of everything
This made me laugh at myself and I felt a little lighter.

I'm having a panic attack right now. This was very helpful. I went to the ER last week. They did 2 EKGs, blood work, CT scan but everything was normal. It's scary but we'll get through it.
I can really empathise with that. I also checked myself into A&E on 3 separate occasions before understanding that there wasn't anything physically wrong with me, that it was a panic attack brought on by the fear of a heart attack. This video has helped me to understand that now. Good luck to you.
A psychiatrist once told me admitting that you have this problem is halfway to a full recovery so don’t give up hope
Yes, me too. I went to the doctor up to 3 times a week to make sure I'm really really okay. Even I'm worried about my blood pressure which is currently high, but I will continue to fight my anxiety! The doctor said I had to go to psychiatrist, but that scared me even more! So it seems I will fight for myself, supported by my family and my spouse. I'm sure we can make a full recovery!
I’m so glad you found this channel. I had panic attacks for a while back in the 90’s. I had a therapist who told me (when I felt it coming on during our session) to lie down on the floor and just let it come over me. That it was absolutely harmless physically and that by calling it’s bluff in a safe environment with a loving witness it would go away and not come back. He was right. Until this past month. My father died in my arms and while I thought I was strong enough to be there with him when he passed, it traumatized me in a profound way. Searching this new modality for help - lo and behold I find this charming therapist who has the same advice for me today that I received so many years ago. Thankful for the reminder and the memories of how well it worked. This will pass for all of us. This panic and anxiety does not have to be permanent in our existence and it does not have to define us! Peace to all who read this.
Yes! We will. I'm so thankful for Emma🥰
Emma out here doing the Lord's work, seriously. Using her gift to bless others. ❤
Glory to God ❤
Going through another panic attack now. It’s dreadful and I’m trying to distract myself while trying to find help… I have health anxiety. I feel a random sensation in my body and immediately I’m really feeling like I’m going to pass out and die. The worst thing to deal with 😔
I so relate. Thank God for this video
exactly! especially when i feel my throat closing up 😭
Me too!
@@ashleyortiz8865 omg that’s one of the scariest parts. Hope you’re doing well.
Any positive updates?
This made me cry. I’ve been dealing with panic attacks on and off for almost 15 years and this is the best advice I have ever gotten. Thank you thank you thank you, Emma. ❤️
Yes!!! I just found this series and I’m also crying!!! Realizing the cycle that has been created. For the first time in months I feel like I see a light at the end of the tunnel! I hope you’re doing well.
18 yrs. for Me.
Your comment saved my life.
i am crying right now watching this
@@nancyk7874 🤗🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Wow ! 😩💕 I was going on a 2 hour panic attack and this video was the 5th one I watched and the only one that made me feel better 😩💛✨ Wow that was one of the worst panic attacks I’ve ever had and I thought it would never end but it did 💛 Grateful for this video 🙏🏽 Thank you
omg i thought i was the only one who had long panic attacks i feel like it can go on all day this video made me feel better aswell
@@slayalot26 They're not actually long. Do they ever feel like it comes in waves? You'll have a few minutes where you think it's calming and then it comes back? It's actually multiple panic attacks. Panic can trigger panic.
@@ezr3725 i also have multiple waves. 😅
Yeasss I have this toooooo I hate it and I can’t have ppl around me when it’s happening it makes me feel sicker being talked to I hate it!!!!! I get real closed off and these were doom like attacks like min ate triggered by dying or fear of death and if I get any pains anywhere in my body I’m looking it up and I know that’s not good to do but I am so obsessed cuz I wanna catch anything quick incase it is!!!!!!! 😢 and the fact we do die and can go anytime scares meeeeee! I e gotten a lot closer to Jesus my Savior I pray HES yours too! Just look up that prayer of salvation and let HIM in HE only comforts my soul as I know HES the one in complete control.!!!!!!!!!! Anytime and where Jesus call on His Name and keep doing it. But for me that’s my triggers is health and feelings sensations ughhhhhhh 😢 and yes they kept coming on and I’m like I just got done feeling this ugh mine were triggered also by a thx gummy 8 hr Er visit twice once for actually trying weed and I got super bad so bad I could y breathe and I was so out of breath like and the. Once with a strong antibiotic I had this happens that one was also a 911 call and took 25-30 mins to come down but this time it wasn’t a er stay i was just back to myself where with the gummy and weed experiences that was paranoia and freaked out straight for 8-9 hrs in ER!! I can’t be near this stuff ever again!!!! Idky this is but my brain can’t handle it I get super scared and sickly nothing can stop it either but when I pray to God I know He’s helping me! and maybe allowed me to experience this to trust in HIM. But lessons learned I still have panic this eeek since this antibiotic was so awful to me ughhhh im on a different one now and this one is making me feel depressed and suicidal like and that’s not me at all. ! Praise Jesus heaven in the next home Amen no more pain
@@slayalot26mine are long too! Usually afew hours, sometimes longer.
I legitimately thought i was having a heart attack. I love this video. Thank you so much
Same here
This happened me before I legitimately called 911 thinking I was dying. It’s so scary
I had the same exact experience. No chest pains so I thought maybe a stroke. But I've googled stroke symptoms and it's not that. Turns out, it's a panic attack. Crazy how dangerous it feels.
@@SamuelMarkobrad oh my god I was accepting my death
Today I felt alone, I had this idea in my mind telling me you are literally the only person on earth experiencing this amount of fear and anxiety. I’ve been suffering since I was 10 years old. I had occasional panic attacks in that time but now it has become chronic and very intense. This week, I had them constantly and I’ve never felt that sick of them. It’s been rough and draining. Watching this video and reading the comments makes me feel so much better after having 2 panic attacks today. I would definitely try those techniques. Thanks a lot ❤
I believe that the VA should be paying good psychologists like this. People on RUclips have helped me more than they have. Part of my problem is ugly anxiety and do MUCH better on my own time, terms and safe environment. I very much appreciate this.
Totally agree. There are many lovely therapists around but Emma speaks to me so knowingly that I wish she lived in Cape Town xx
Same here!
Let me tell you guys, it worked!! I struggled with anxiety and panic attacks and they basically have taken over my life. For example my triggers were going to shops or taking a bus alone. Basically all public places because I was afraid of what if i get panic attack in public and nobody is gonna help my and i’m gonna pass out. So it was this never ending cycle of anxiety over anxiety. And today i took a bus home and started to feel super anxious and then i remembered this video and tried these hacks she talked about. And then it clicked inside me and i was in control over panic/anxiety. So i HIGHLY recommend this video to everyone! You are not alone and you’ll be fine only if you fight for it! Thank you Emma!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I too get severe panic attacks when going to places, driving or feeling that I can pass out or my heart will stop and no one will be there to help me. I will try her advice and hope it at least eases the attacks.
@@ronnasurmon1656 yes it will! I haven’t had panic attacks since the day I watched this video. I do get anxious though and sometimes I am afraid what if the PA comes back but that is just a fear and I start to remember myself that if I did it last time I can do this time too!
I had two weeks of panic attacks nightly, and this series of videos has completely stopped them. They start, but then I invite the panic - and I immediately calm down. It’s incredible. Thank you.
You’re the only person who has been able to calm me down and make me laugh during a panic attack, thank you so much
Hello!
How did she make you laugh? 😃
I agree she is amazing
Physical symptoms during a panic attack, such as a pounding or racing heart, sweating, chills, trembling, breathing problems, weakness or dizziness, tingly or numb hands, chest pain, stomach pain, and nausea.👍
I have had all of these and in addition tingling palate and throat, wheezing, constant need to go to the washroom, and tingling neck and head do these also fall within the normal physical symptoms? I keep having issues with identifying the difference between allergic responses that I have had in the past and panic attacks. It makes panic attacks more complicated.
Add in bathroom issues, and heart palpitations.
Whenever it’s happened to me I legitimately thought I was going to have a heart attack. Absolutely frightening. Heart starts beating so hard & fast that it almost feels like it’s vibrating, then I feel pain in my heart / upper left chest area.
Also thinking you're dying, thinking you're going crazy/losing your mind.
I was fearing the derealization and that would make try to stop the panic attack. Since I have started to notice my anxiety and say ok, anxiety is natural in this situation. And I haven’t had one since. So happy for this series!
The fear of panic attack is not dying. It's living with the embarrassment of appearing weak to everyone you encounter. To some, this is worse than death.
Mine is dying
My heart beats so fast that I'm afraid I'm going to pass out and die if heart failure or infarction
You won't though, just like people don't drop dead from doing full on physical exercise pushing their heart rate up to 160bpm, it just feels scary because you're not actually doing anything physical at the time.....
@@ats-3693 I'm also hypertensive
@@ats-3693 if that helps
Wow… in the midst of a panic attack and I have done all this stuff and people have always told me to just sit with it and I could never grasp that until now! I’m mind blown. Just accept they are feelings, thoughts, whatever but that you are fine. I’m about to cry tears of joy knowing this now! I can finally sit with them and not be afraid of them!
I don’t get panic attacks like this. It doesn’t come from my thoughts it comes from my body. If I get chills or realize my nose is stuffy I will in a split second get a panic attack before my thoughts can even catch up. Body responses are faster than thoughts.
I have to share. I suffer from panic attacks since my military service in Israel from 14 years ago until today. Since I discovered your videos my life has changed! They are on my playlist, and every time I have an attack I put it on and relax. Thank you for you and the holy work you do. I'm sure you save many more lives. Thank you ❤
Karma be like
Do you mind sharing your panic attack playlist?
This is so easy to say but the thing is when you are in the middle of panic you can’t contrôle what your brain is saying to you. Anytime I have panic attack I try to stay still and say ok come all in but it gets even stronger and my blood pressure gets even higher…
That is very true
some panic attacks feel so horrible that its scary, sometimes its hard to think rational. cuz the feeling is so horrible.
This video literally make me feel hungry again. When I heart that my panics attacks are uncomfortable but aren’t dangerous something on my brain happens my guts start working normally again I actually felt it and I felt appetite again!!. How amazing is this!! Accept and learn how to live with anxiety and stress is a challenge but also is a gift!! And I think This is the beginning of brighter days for me. I really appreciate that! Thank you so much!!!

The most important thing I can say here is that it won't kill you and you will get better. I suffered from panic attacks that came on at the age of 45 seemingly out of the blue. Took me a very long time to discover what Emma is saying is true. You will be ok and feel better again it may take some time but you can do it. Wonderful channel thank you :)
thanks Rick
Your such an awesome therapist..God bless your ministry
Since last week's video, every time I've felt my anxiety or panic start to take off I've said to myself "Oh, it's just that anxiety/panic, no need to freak out, just gonna ride the wave and be ok", and I'd continue doing whatever I was doing at the time- eg- I tend to struggle getting a deep breath and then I start to REALLY feel panicked, but the last time it happened I remembered what you said last week and I stopped "fighting" for that deep breath and just breathed normally while thinking "Meh, it's just panic, no biggy, I'll be fine" (and I intention took smaller breaths)...this helped, not every time, but...baby steps. 😁
That’s awesome Lisa.👏🏻🙂
YES! great work!
same here! I have been trying to see the symptoms of anxiety as natural and okay. And my panic attack cycle stopped right away. I am so thankful for this information!
I’ve had anxiety for all my life but didn’t know what it was until about 6 years ago. The last few months it’s gotten worse and worse and I had to change medications. In the last two weeks I’ve barely left my house, haven’t worked and am constantly on edge. I found the anxious truth podcast on Spotify and I’ve already made progress. I left my house today for a few mins and was relatively okay, and working out hasn’t been as hard. I still get shaky and have that feeling I can’t get a full breath but its much better overall. I also started feeling like I wasn’t in control of my body like i was watching myself do things rather than doing them. With that podcast and now these videos I’ve found tonight I actually have hope again.
@Lisa how are you doing now? I have the same breathing issue .. was this strategy helpful for you long-term? I’m wondering if I should just ignore the urge to take a deep breath.. Thanks
I had my first panic attack back in 2003, so 19 years ago, while driving by myself for a work meeting. They have ramped up to the point where I'm so scared of having a panic attack that I've limited my area of travelling... down to a few kilometres (a couple miles). I curse this condition (or disability) and wish to find my way out and help everyone to rid themselves of panic.
Driving with this disorder is one of the scariest things for me since I had one of my worst attacks driving alone back a few years ago. I avoid driving at all costs but I have to drive an hour today so wish me luck. Thanks for sharing it helped me
I experienced the same thing while driving. The only things that makes me calm is taking CBD oil
This is when I get panic attacks… especially on the highway … which makes THIS attack dangerous. I start shaking and getting vertigo. The only solution so for my
Y dilemma is not not drive on the highways, although it makes my life limited, I can’t be behind the wheel that way.
I am literally at a point where I am scared of how debilitating it is and how useless I feel when I have an anxiety attack. I did take professional help but damn anxiety just won't go, it is affecting my work and personal life too.
I had the same issue and using this technique combined with graded exposure cleared the panic for me and I can now drive again. This really works!
Its 430am and i cant stop shaking and just feel out of control. Feeling dizzy also have chest pain. Ive been feeling like this on and off since my mother passed away last year. These videos has been helping me especially the comments. Knowing there are other folks going through the same thing. We can get through this together!
Same happening with me

thank you so much this video literally helped me snap out of a panic attack 😓 God bless you & everyone else who struggles with anxiety, we all will overcome this struggle
Great Video. I have been suffering with anxiety and panic for 18 years now. Some seasons have been great, some really bad. I work with two mental health professionals to help me overcome. It really takes a lot of practice and intentionality to win this battle. I am far from overcoming, but I will never give up. Thanks for making an encouraging video about this life changing disorder. I know one day too, will be free.
Today is the eight day of my anxiety loop. Yesterday I went to see a doctor, terrified and hoping to get some kind of answer or treatment, ANYTHING. He basically ignored me, "You will grow out of it, don't worry", he said. I left feeling worse, worrying even more about chest pains and fast heartbeat. This video -and all the other ones from the channel are incredible, thank you so much.
If the Dr checked you and you are physically okay then just know that you are okay and safe. Keep repeating that to yourself. Do some journaling see where this stress is coming from. Do mindfulness meditations, every few weeks I will do several different meditations in a row so that I do it for a total of 3 hrs or so. It really brings peace back to the body and helps stabilize
How are you now
@@kellyemberson339 My anxiety loop lasted 13 days - I lost 5 kgs in a week, slept 4 hours in 5 days, vomiting everything i ate. I went to this doctor again and he told me to pray, that my anxiety would go away. I decided to go to the hospital and I was then injected with valium, which helped me to finally get a moment of sleep (I remember waking up on my bed, i have no idea how I got home but I FINALLY could think by myself, my mind was quiet).
Looking back now, I am able to recognise that that was the lowest I've ever been emotionally. A week later I went to see a therapist (it lasted 3 months, god it's expensive!), the short time i got with the therapist was enough for me to see that my biggest issue was pushing my feelings away. I refused to talk with myself, to think and to feel, I treated my conscience as my enemy. Now I am able to admit things to myself, to ask questions: "what worries me about this thing?", "what am i afraid of?".
In the beginning - meditation and taking walks.
I think this is a really helpful video. When I had a panic attack in class and was looking for the ways to stop it, I was thinking like:"Not now! It's way too intense, I can't handle it, I should've just skipped that class today! What do I do now? Should I leave the classroom? But I just can't! It's so embarrassing!" and it just got way, way worse. It was so overwhelming and intense. But then I just looked down on the desk, stopped thinking of the ways I can immediately reduce my anxiety, just completely "surrendered" to it, and then it was just gone. I looked up and I didn't feel anxious anymore. At all. The intensity of anxiety just dropped completely. It's mind-blowing how this works.
Right

These attacks are horrible. It’s literally to the point where your body feels like it’s being taken over, the instability of the body, the dizziness the heart palpitations. This video did help me today was really a bad one. It’s a very difficult process to get through and this video helped out a lot
I have these challenges at least 5 times a day (sucks I kno) I race here and immediately remember the steps 👌🏾 thank God ❤️ I kno my dad is happy for me to it stops the 3 4 5 o’clock in the morning phone calls 😩😳 thank u 🙏 beautiful soul ❤️
Thank you so much for these 3 videos on panic attacks; I have struggled with panic attacks on the highway for two years now, and after watching these videos, today while driving I stopped trying to fight the fear but instead accepted it and kept telling myself: "it's mega uncomfortable, but I can still drive" and that helped enormously.....thank you, truly, from the bottom of my heart.
I too have had panic attacks while driving. I’m going to try to remember this advice the next time it happens.
@@lindavalentine7379 I will pray for you. I, too, have panic attacks while driving, to the point now that I try to completely avoid it, which obviously interferes with my life. Praying this information helps us both.

This!! This is exactly what I needed to see and hear! I had a heart attack in 2012. In 2014, the anxiety, then panic attacks started…what if I’m having another heart attack, what if I die, maybe something else is wrong with me, maybe I’m about to have a stroke…on and on. I can’t tell you how much money I’ve spent, getting my symptoms checked out…therapy, 3 angiograms, medication, doctors upon doctors, etc. my most recent angiogram was performed just last winter. This doctor, when I told him about my anxiety and panic attacks (in order to avoid another costly procedure), asked me if I was a doctor? No. Then stop diagnosing yourself! So, another costly procedure, only to find Nothing wrong, again! Now I’m going to a different heart doctor, for the electrical part of my heart. I have nearly constant PVC’s, and PAC’s. I just took the week long heart monitor back yesterday. What do you suppose will be “wrong” with me this time? After watching the 3 part video, I’m going to say, “absolutely nothing”!!
Thank you so much!! Woot, bring on the feelings, anxiety and panic attacks!! I’m ready to live my life again ❤️
Coming back here to say THANK YOU SO SO SO Much I used to struggle with derealisation and struggled with many panic attacks and this video saved me I never get them anymore !you are literally saving peoples lives you are God sent!
I was just having a panic attack when I found this video and it's helped me so much more than meditation and grounding has done.. Thank you so much!
Well, mindfulness meditation is basically about the same thing - accepting emotions and not trying to change them by force.
This series of panic attack videos is genius. I’m 46 and started having panic attacks when I was 19. They were so bad at one point that I essentially became agoraphobic. I was too afraid of having a heart attack during a panic attack, or at the very least, being humiliated as people watched me experience one. I don’t have them as often now, but it’s because I avoid ‘scary’ situations. I still haven’t figured out all of my triggers, but one is definitely driving on freeways, and another is being stuck in a situation or place that I can’t easily remove myself from (example 1: If I have an important work meeting with 50 coworkers, I bring on a panic attack simply because I start thinking about how embarrassing it would be to have one).
(Example 2: I don’t drive freeways because I’m afraid I’ll have a panic attack and no immediate exit from the freeway). As I said, I don’t have the attacks often now, but it’s because I avoid these situations. I’ve even taken PTO days to avoid large meetings. I need to continue working on facing my fears, it sounds like. These videos have been incredibly helpful. Thank you!
I'm 61 and have had panic attacks since I was about 10 years old. It has caused me to avoid and miss out on a lot of things in life. Like you, my worst experiences are with driving on the interstate or in a city environment where there's a lot of traffic and no way to exit quickly - and bridges, especially high and/or long ones. I'm okay if my husband is driving (unless we get stopped on a bridge or if traffic gets backed up and we're stopped for any period of time), but if I have to drive myself, I'll take a longer route if it means I can avoid the highway or a bridge. And though I work from home now and it's made life a lot less stressful, I used to hate meetings, too - especially ones where we were in a hot, stuffy, closed room, which was the absolute worst! I used to keep a small ice pack in the pocket of my jacket or sweater so I could keep my hand on it and then transfer the cold to the back of my neck with my fingers when things started to get overwhelming. I still do that on long car rides, too - and always keep an ice cold drink beside me. It seems to help take the edge off. But know you're not alone. Sometimes when I'm driving I actually think about how many of the other people on the road are feeling the same way I am, and it helps a little!
Thanks Kim. Really interested in what you said. How are you at the moment? 💙
@@donkeymama5809 hey there, u shared your panic attacks while u driving im facing that right now, onnce im on the road im getting panic attacks, shorten breath, shaking hands and legs dry mouth, cant swallow, thinking somethimg will happen and ill die, and some days i skip driving but i need for my work,, please tell me how u feel these days and did panic attacks decrease after this video? thank you
I had a very bad one 3 years ago. Watched these RUclips's and also listened to Dr Claire Weekes.
I have been doing great. Until yesterday. Out of the blue, I thought I wasn't anxious. But WHAM I was overcome by a bad panic attack. Still feeling unwell today.
My face went numb, heavy arms, nausea, felt like fainting, shaking, extremely cold, my feet turned blue.
So why did I get a PA if I wasn't anxious?
It's ok to feel that way? I went over the hump of no return and couldn't do a thing. I had to ride it out. It was terrible.
Look, I knew I wasnt going to die. I've learnt that.
But the feelings I had were so bad.
I wish there was a switch I could flick to turn it off.
I'm disappointed as I've been working to get out of my anxiety over the past 3 years. I feel like I am back to square one 😔
Experienced my first panick attack a month ago and have had anxiety about having another one. Scared me everyday since. This helps a lot ! Thank you !
I just had my first last week. and still i have anxiety, would you please let me know if the anxiety will ever go away or being less at least
@talalalluhayb1746 did it ever get better? I'm going through it now and have been for weeks
Great video. I indeed noticed that trying to trick your panic attack to go away only feeds it. I used to carry paper towels in my backpack to wipe my sweat. This only made me sweat even more. I was so embarrassed. The day I showed a coworker how stressed and sweaty I was, we laughed it off. It started to get better
This technique works and allowed me to be able to drive again! I had been having perpetual panic attacks while driving and I was unable to drive myself anywhere for the past six months. I started using this technique with graded exposure and now I have little to no anxiety while driving. Anytime I feel that anxiety start to creep in, I use this technique and it goes right away.
I’ve never heard anyone explain what I’ve been going through as perfect as this. I feel so validated, thank you thank you thank you.
I’ve been an anxiety and panic attack sufferer for 40 years. I tried meds, which I hated. I had some success learning coping skills with different therapists over the years, but still didn’t feel like I had a grip on my disorder. Then, a couple years ago, I found your videos. Truly life changing! I purchased the course on retraining your parasympathetic nervous system during the 2020 Covid shutdown, which helped me find my sanity. Life gets busy, and I find myself taking care of everyone but me, and then those ugly anxieties start creeping in. The past month has been hard, and as I’ve been trying to turn my focus to my own health and well-being, I find myself drawn to your amazing advice. This particular advice on facing panic attacks, rather then trying to avoid them or trying to stop them, is SO thought provoking. I have a physical coming up in a couple weeks, and one of my biggest triggers is doctors offices. The part where they take my blood pressure and heart rate. The part that takes less than a minute. I fear the embarrassment of my rapid heart rate and spiked blood pressure, the comments from nurses who don’t know me, the worry that they’ll think something is really wrong with me and want to put me on meds, or send me to a cardiologist. The fear that they’ll think I’m a freak! After listening to these video, I suddenly look forward to facing it. Thank you for sharing all your wisdom.❤️ Having these positive affirmations and realizing I’m not alone, brings so much peace.❤️❤️
I have exactly the same issues with the doctor's visit and blood pressure after developing anxiety issues. In fact it is the doctors that is driving my bp and anxiety up. What an irony. I want to get off bp meds which i think is wrongly prescribed. I have always been an healthy and active person even now. Any advice and help appreciated.
I actually told my doctor that I was mid panic attack at my appointment and he did the blood pressure at t he end…by the end of the appointment I’m much more calm than the beginning.
Oh my goodness, same here! I’m currently training myself at home to take my BP and it’s going better than expected, after years of avoiding it!
I've been waiting for this video. Thank you, Emma.
i’m watching this exactly a year later than when posted. i’m so greatful for you! you have definitely helped me define my anxieties and slow the strain against the panic of uncomfortable body feelings
This was unbelievably helpful!! I’ve had crippling anxiety and panic attacks for over 15 years and this was so calming and helpful to hear ♥️ keep up the amazing work, you have no idea how much blessings you are showering people with!
Thank you Emma ❤️
Currently trying to battle through this and your videos are a real comfort 🙏
Emma I just want to say as someone who has been admitted to the hospital many times and have had panic attacks for over 15 years now since the marine corps, that I just love hearing your voice and what you have to say. You’re amazing. Thank you so much
Great advice. Last night I had a number of panic attacks. Evening started GREAT - lots of fun and laughs with our kids and our dog, Then I took a hot bath and my heart rate became so fast and even faster the more I thought about it. Even though this was not my first panic attack I "forgot" that the best thing to avoid the panic attacks is to ignore them. Fear of the fear and checking and rechecking if everything is "safe and sure" is the worst cure, Ignore it.... Come what may. The less attention you give it the better. By ignoring them I was able to almost totally get rid of them for many years.
I went to the ER first few times ...they Diagnosed me with asthma. No history of it ..I took Steroids .Then finally I started asking the right questions. "I'm I having a panic attack "? To the nurse whom said my oxygen levels wer fine.She just told me she couldn't Diagnose me. After that I've been on this path. Learning ALOT .Im very grateful. I really appreciate you ❤️. Your one of my Best teachers in life.Thank you.
You are such a blessing for all that you share, this one REALLY hit home and helped me along my journey of recovery and coping 🙏
thank you, you’re right. At night when laying down I’ll sometimes feel my heartbeat and think “oh no” I’m 54 and having a heart attack. Then I would start getting anxious worried and paralyzed with fear. Ive spent many visits over the years in the ER, only to have them tell me my heart is fine. Recently I noticed that deep breathing didn’t help but increased the heart rate. Last night I thought I might have to go to the ER, so I went to take a shower first, after the shower I felt better. Today while reading a book, I started feeling the attack coming on, I thought of the shower event and put the book down and started sweeping the floor and went on the stepper for five minutes. Movement helped me move past the attack. You are right, trying to stop or control the attack leads to an increased level and duration of attack.
I'm so proud of Steve. Way to feel those feelings, Steve!
You have no idea how much relief this video has given me. Thank you so much for putting this golden information out there❤️
i just found these 3 parts on my recommended and ive had panic attacks for years sometimes it could be happening every day for weeks but i want to try and accept my emotions and get it through my head that panic attacks are not dangerous and try to change my mindset all together. To be honest, i feel like i needed to hear someone say what you have said in these 3 parts because i always feel like nobody understands me
I have been Waiiiittiiinngggg!!! So excited for this!!
Thank you very much for these videos, Emma. This gives me hope and tells me that there is always a way! 🙏
Man, you could not be more spot-on with how I feel! Thank you for your help!
This is honestly, the best advice on panic attacks Ive ever heard in my entire life. You are such a wonderful therapist. Very empathic person. I feel so good watching your videos. I swear I was struggling with a panic attack and your video popped on YT. I already feel better. Amazing. Bless you. Im starting to breathe better. Thank you so much 💚
Thank you so much for this series. It truly has been an eye opener and I believe I'm gonna be ok! 🙏❤️❤️
I watched all 3 parts of this series and this woman has no idea the relief I felt with all this information. I burst into tears because it all make sense now. Thank you ❤
This is the best video series on panic attacks I have ever seen. Thank you so much for this!
Emma is just wonderful. She radiates calmness and makes everything so easy to understand.
I legit cried during part2 and relived a moment of my life where everything was just going wrong for me. And then also reminded me of the particular day when I just cried and let myself cry after years of struggling with my depression (and also not knowing it was depression while having all sorts of people telling me it's all in my head). After that, there was a change, a shift in my mindset in how I wanted to approach myself and others. And I think it's just as you said. I let myself feel my feelings and that I stopped running from the thing that was keeping me tied down. I still have anxiety attacks especially due to covid and having the lockdown (I get bad social anxieties so it's made it worse) but I have a better relationship with myself now that I at least don't have panic attacks that would send my heart racing. Also, I have methods to help myself with. This is just an added understanding for me. Thank you!
This 3 part video is the best explanation of what's wrong with me more than anything I have ever read or heard. The greatest advice I ever got online to end my daily panic attacks was that i can't stop them so i just have to give into it and allow it to happen. Thank you for this!
I revisit this video a lot. Right now though my panic has been pretty bad and I can't stop crying. You always make me feel better and immense comfort
I’m dealing with panic atack for over 15 years thank you for this video ı love your perspective!
Found this while having a panic attack... Bless you, your help was most welcome! I had been really struggling and your advice was a breath of fresh air!🙏🙏🙏
I’ve been having panic attacks for around 3 weeks now. I found your channel about a week ago and these videos have made managing them much easier. No one I’ve come across provides as good advice as you do. Thank you for everything that you’ve done for us!
Thank you!!! Your video has significantly improved my relationship with panic attacks! I used to fear having them every time I feel something 'weird' in my body. But accepting and just letting it happen really helps!!
Emma, thank you so much for this video! I’ve struggled against a panic disorder for years and have improved some with therapy, but this takes my awareness of what’s going on within me to a whole new level. You and your work have great value in this world!
Thank you for explaining the difference between anxiety and panic attacks. I feel so much better knowing I'm going to be okay.
This is the best advice I've gotten in a while! This type of advice shouldn't be free, thank goodness for youtube. Thank you
Thank you for this video series. I’ve had debilitating anxiety for several years now and have had a handful of panic attacks. They feel horrible make me feel like I cannot live my life and this advise is making me change my perspective on anxiety overall. Thank you so much
I just discovered your channel. Thank you for this! Such a blessing! I have suffered from panic attacks/disorder for almost 30 years. This is so helpful! One day I WILL be able to drive on an interstate again! I am determined!
Thank you so much! I am so happy that I found you.
Your video and advice always calm me down everytime I don’t feel good, too much anxious or panic. Thank you so much for making all these video accessible for those people in need. Thank you! 🙏 😊
Thank you so much I’ve never learned to manage my emotions like this I appreciate you sharing these helpful tips so grateful for you
The most informative and helpful advices what I have ever get. Thank you 😊
RUclips has been a Godsend for me for many things and videos like this have helped me understand my condition and how to remedy it more than my GP who is pretty useless. One of the best pieces of advice I've taken away concerning panic attacks and Panic disorder is try your best to not acknowledge you are having one. When you feel that ugly panic setting in, being alarmed by it, starting to excitedly breathe is acknowledging that something is wrong, when you feel something is wrong, panic begins to manifest, when it manifests is when it runs amok. Stop acknowledging you are having one as best as possible and reassure yourself that the feeling will pass, it's just my body trying to protect me is what I like to say "Oh I feel something, Meh whatever" or "Oh it's being stubborn today, cool"..
I had my first ever panic attack at 43yrs of age, called 911, had an ER visit and was kinda stuck with panic disorder ever since. The date was March 1 2022. Today is September 1 2022 which is 6months and I while I haven't had a panic attack in 4months, I have had many "nearlies" and heart palpitations and general anxiety. I feel the "nearlies" are getting less and less and now it's at a place where I've brought it down to just a very manageable low level wave of anxiety that seems to be fleeting with time. Hopefully I will be better from this soon.
Things that helped me.
-Magnesium supplement
- running (I'm an avid runner)
- MEDITATION
You just helped me have an emotional breakthrough. Thank you. From this video and starting therapy, I have finally realized my issues and what I need to do. I am so excited to start my journey.
I can't say how thankful i am to you emma ❤️. These past months have been hell. I will forever be grateful.
This kind of video is why the internet was meant to be. Thank you, Emma!
So extremely helpful! I’ve been battling these for a few years now! I feel like using these tools I might be able to get some relief. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥️
Yay, I’ve been looking forward to this video all week! Thank you so much Emma, you are really helping!! (And I love your voice and expression.)
I’m a caricature artist and I remember a few years ago when my anxiety was at it’s worst and I had difficulties walking with my dog through nature without touching trees for example, I started exaggerating that, imagining myself crawling over that beautiful path where I walked. That helped. 😄 As a caricature artist I’m very good at exaggerating, but I’ll use that skill the right way from now on, just like I did back then. Not the catastrophising. 😉
Love from The Netherlands. ❤️
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been stuck in a worsening panic loop for about 22 years and I’ve never gotten such good advice from any of my therapists.
This was tremendously helpful. I've seen about 3 therapists about my panic disorder and your explanation on how it all works is much better than my sessions. Thank you!
It was so hard to watch these! I was afraid thinking about panic would trigger panic. I'm glad I did this hard thing. The meta nature of the solution makes this challenging, but I've done hard things all my life. Thank you!
