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.

REMEDY IS İZZET GÜLLÜ
Psilocybin helped me break through years of anxiety and panic attacks, offering clarity and peace I couldn’t find with traditional treatments. It gave me a fresh perspective on life.
Exploring psilocybin mushrooms has brought profound healing into my life. Along with them, psychedelics like DMT and LSD have significantly contributed to my recovery and personal transformation.
Hey, anyone know a reliable source?
doctorquilll is my go to for anything related to psychedelics, easily the most knowledgeable person I know.
He’s on telgram?
Yes, and TikTok, highly recommended.
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
@@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?
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🥰
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.
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 was in the ER just a few hours ago. I literally thought I was gonna die. Some how I’m still here with my family by my side. I can’t believe I made it out alive. I got my ecco and ecg done and all other blood work that my doctors told me and everything is fine. My health anxiety is crazy but I’ll get through this. I’m not gonna try to make myself feel better during a panic attack ever again. I’m praying for all of you to heal as quickly as possible❤️🦋
My first panic attack was three years ago, I went to A&E (Accident and Emergency in the UK) twice in 4 days. Luckily the second time I got a great junior doctor who said I'd probably had a panic attack. I have them more and more and my rational brain tells me I'm not dying. However, as we who suffer know, you're not rational in the middle of a panic attack. Like the video so astutely points out, my panic attacks are now fuelled by my fear of having a panic attack.
I was just in the ER yesterday, got an X-ray of my chest and was told everything was fine, but I do have a nerve in my chest close to my heart that is triggering my anxiety, but I was told that everything was fine and that I just need to take medication so everytime I have an anxiety attack I just tell myself that the doctors said I’m fine, that I should be okay, so even tho I’m having an attack I just have to deal with it, it sucks to have anxiety but these videos really do help, hope you’re okay and that you learn how to deal with anxiety because it’s not easy ❤
@@LeeBeast6 i was given meds too but I prefer staying all natural
This was me too. Three times in A and E. Now I'm starting to listen to people like Emma. She is a blessing really
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.
Have your b12 and folate levels checked
@@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
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
@@HxGodL-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.
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

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.
I’ve been dealing with intermittent panic attacks for almost 18 years now. The feelings can be so intense and scary at times. Even if you know it’s only a panic attack and tell yourself that, it doesn’t always help alleviate the intense symptoms. What I have noticed is that my panic is most often triggered whenever I’m sick, or think there is something physically wrong with me. I also have co-occurring issues with health anxiety, so it’s very much tied to that. It’s so frustrating, because the feelings can come out of nowhere, and go on for days, weeks or months. It often feels so debilitating that I just pray to get through each day in one piece. I would never wish these feelings upon my worst enemy. People who have never experienced a panic attack, or who don’t suffer endlessly with them, don’t realize how lucky they are.
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❤
Thank you❤️
Thank you for your comment ❤
"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 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.
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
The left side shoulder and side of my face was burning. My vision went super blurry and my heart felt like it could pound out of my chest. My heart literally HURT! The muscles in my legs tensed up and I was shaking almost violently. My roommate called 911 and they said my heart rate was a little high, but not concerning and then left…. Not until I googled later that I realized I was having a panic attack… they were super rude to me, talking to me like i was wasting their time. Definitely didn’t help. This video did though.
You just talked me off a panic cliff. My worst fear is “This is it, I’m going psycho, I’m losing my mind!”
Its just our mind playing with us so just let it come and go. Everythings fine.
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 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!
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
Amen bro
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
some panic attacks feel so horrible that its scary, sometimes its hard to think rational. cuz the feeling is so horrible.
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!
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
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!
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!
i’m not gonna lie.I haven’t even watched the video yet i just jumped into the comments and i feel much better seeing that im not in this alone.it stopped my panic attack from escalating and gave me hope.Thank you.
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?
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
Emma out here doing the Lord's work, seriously. Using her gift to bless others. ❤
Glory to God ❤
Emma is awesome in explaining what is really happening. She helps put things in perspective for me. We live in a world that’s is constantly changing everyday and sometimes a bit overwhelming to keep up with. I just remind myself constantly. Take it one day at at time
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!!!

I always thought that this panic attack stuff was nonsense for weaklings. But then I started getting them after a scare. Now, every time I even think about these attacks, I get one. I have been having several a day for about a month, and it is crippling. As soon as it crosses my mind I go into one, and I am obsessing about it. This stuff is real and it is terrifying. I am exhausted. This video and this series helped me to put the brakes on it. This is incredible advice. I was about to go to my doc for meds but I may not have to now. I hope that this snowballing anxiety dwindles and I can return to my old life. Good luck to all of you who are locked in this battle with your own minds. Embrace the panic and anxiety. Laugh in its face as it grows and tries to overcome you, then flip it the bird. You are not alone in this battle.
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
@@mr-dp-gaming-i9z we got this! You got this! It will get better.
@@Casinovaz how do you handling this situation
My mother's hasnt passed but she went in for a seriousish surgury and every night since im having panic attacks debilitating ones that wake me up from my sleep even tho she is home.
I get them from worrying about something like if someone will get in trouble or hate me. It's something in my heart
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

I was trying so hard to calm down last night during an awful hour long panic attack. I knew what it was, but there was a constant 'need' to calm down.. while i was watching your video and being able to focus on my body's sensations, letting myself focus on multiple areas helped me not think about *trying to calm down.*
Your videos on panic attacks are amazing. I hope everyone comes here, listens, and feels safe at the end.
This video was like a breakthrough for me. It doesnt always work but I've gone from having daily panic attacks that always peaked to going several days now without a major attack developing and staving off the urge to call 911 successfully many times. Occasionally I'll come back to this video as well to help implement the dare method. Now i need to get driving more and face my triggers
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 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?

When I tell you I’ve been living with chronic anxiety and I haven’t been able to cope since my psychiatrist retired, I have a stressful job and now 2 kids, you brought me to tears either how much you helped me just be in my own body again
Thanks!
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 ❤️
This was incredibly helpful. I am in therapy and my therapist suggested that I embrace my panic and stop trying to fight it because it seems that fighting never helps. Well, I have been putting it into practice for a week or two and it has truly helped, thought today I was not able to overcome and just trying to remind myself that recovery is not a straight line, but it’s hard.
I have had anxiety since I was 12. I came from a Hispanic household that never considered mental health an actual issue. When I went to college I went to a therapist and they diagnosed me with anxiety. Tried everything under the sun, yoga, cutting out caffeine, cutting out sugar, exercise, meditation, everything the internet told me to do to reduce anxiety and it helped…for a bit. Cut to last December when I got diagnosed with ADHD + panic. Now I am learning my adhd was actually what exacerbated my anxiety and guided me right into panic. Since my anxiety diagnosis in 2011 to Dec 2023 I thought there was something wrong with me because anxiety treatment was not working.
Now I am just trying to take it one step at a time, Give myself grace, and realize 20 years of mistreatment will not go away in 4 months.
But yes, some days I cannot see an outcome past my panic attack. I catastrophize to the point where I become paralyzed and cannot imagine a moment past panic attack and I fear that I will never get out of it. It’s truly terrifying but now I realize that I have just given it too much power over me and I need to embrace it.
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.
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
I've been dealing with physical and or mental health lately. I found this video and am grateful that this was available. Thank you and good luck taking back your life all.
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 is so timely. For the the first time, just this morning, I defused a panic attack. I’ve been watching your videos and used your advice in the moment.
I can’t thank you enough and appreciate you deeply 🙏🏽
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!

Thank you so much! My Goddaughter who is PhD. phycologist told me not to go places where people there not respected me. I stopped going and I felt good.
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!
Thank you for sharing this. I am finally seeing an improvement in my anxiety using your suggestions. Sleeping better and forgetting to even think about anxiety for periods of time. The physical symptoms are also improving. My tinnitus has even mellowed.
I have tinnitus as well. I wonder if there is a link.
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.
Thanks so much for your video. It is nice to know that there are people who understand. I used to call someone every time I had panic attack but then my first therapist said to deal with it on my own and be strong, that actually help for me because one day I was just like what the hell, why not, let feel this through.
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
Thank you so much I have been so crippled by my panic attacks where I simply can’t catch my breath. This has helped me laugh at my issues and flop on the ground and say ok let’s pass out already come on and then it’s over OMG I can’t believe it worked
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’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 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 ❤️
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 ❤
Cant thank you enough. Been having constant panic attacks for 3 days straight now. No sleep for 2 nights. This really helped me to get a deeper understanding of my emotions.
What have you done to help it? It’s been happening to me all week and I cant handle it 😭
@@dirtyearl8532same here going on a week now.
How are you now.
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
I started suffering from panic attacks fairly recently. It’s so sad. Thank you for your videos 💜
I hear you. I used to have panic attacks daily. Then I beat them but they came back and I was so afraid of going backwards. These videos showed me that was the root of the problem. I was afraid my anxiety. Now I am saying, anxiety is natural. And the panic attacks have gone away. Wishing you the best!
I know the feeling! I’ve had lot’s of panic attacks after I almost died once so with every sensation i feel in my body i get very anxious. I tried to run away from it but it never worked. Just letting the sensations be and saying they won’t hurt you really helps. Also talking about it to someone instead of hiding it helps.
Give your feelings the space they want and feel them😊
I believe not fighting the anxiety will be key for me to overcome my panic attacks. Thank you for that advice.
Spot on, thanks so much!!! I got over panic attacks with working with this truth, and it changed my life around. Recent horrible events brought so much stress in my life, which made me anxious. I’m going to listen to this video, and practice this until it’s working
I can’t wait for my next anxiety attack to give this a try. I feel great just thinking about this plan. Thank you very much.

I definitely have made the mistake of thinking I need to make my anxiety go away whenever it comes on.
Woww..this really change my view of anxiety things. And after read all of the comments i really feel that im still lucky. Hopefully all of you stay strong. And i wish i could see and talk with you emma. Thanks.
everytime i have a PA i watch this video . And it stops. Thank you so much !
It makes so much more sense why I started getting panic attacks as a missionary. In that environment, I felt like it was bad to be anxious and like I had to stop my anxiety or else Id get sent home. Being a pilot doesnt help either because theres a really unhealthy view of mental health. I get anxiety about my anxiety and think "this is going to cost me my job" or "this is going to ruin my relationships and make people leave me." All this time I classified it as an anxiety attack because the physical descriptions of panic attacks didnt quite describe how it felt for me, but this cleared it up a lot.
This video series brought me from the midst of a panic attack to now feeling optimism and self love for all of my feelings in ways I never knew I could. Thank you so much for your kindness and amazing videos! I'm excited to watch more and learn to live and accept myself just as I am.
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 💚

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!
Your channel has helped me in more ways than I could ever thank you for. I started a channel about my journey and some mental health tips to give back to people the way you do. Thank you so much for what you do.
This was incredibly well put and summarized - from someone whom has suffered from pretty bad health anxiety the last year, this is soooo helpful and makes so much sense!! You are helping so many people who suffer from this horrible condition. Thank you for helping me through my mini-hell I call anxiety.
Medical anxiety is the worst and currently what I'm suffering from. It can be really hard to tell the difference between real danger and anxiety
@@zd194 yes! That's the scary part for sure.
@@patrickhandlovsky7665 I'm right there with you both. Checked myself into the ER/called the paramedics a few times because of it. Which I'm embarrassed to say. But when you think there's something wrong and you're literally dying...🤷♀To be honest, I think more doctors need to be trained to recognize panic as well, rather than throw up their hands and say, "well, you seem fine to me." Especially these days.
@@saddlepotato159 100% agree with you!! After they check all your vitals and major things are okay, i get told everytime go to counseling - i'm under a ton of stress. The doctor's bedside manner does not really exist anymore if you ask me.
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 🙏
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!
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.
I am feeling really anxious right now and know it could lead to a panic attack like it did 2 nights ago, but I'm practicing doing what she's saying right now and the feelings of rapid heat beat and breathlessness is slowly fading. This is the only way through ❤ thank you so much
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!🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Emma ❤️
Currently trying to battle through this and your videos are a real comfort 🙏
Thank you so much for this! I started having panic attacks more often with the start of menopause. I think my body as more trouble regulating itself now. I really appreciate what you said about inviting panic to “bring it on!” I will try that next time I have an episode.
Hello has this method work for you? I'm currently in perimenopause and I'm suffering from anxiety and panic disorder
@@angelicaflores505 my anxiety and panic attacks really kicked up in peri/menopause. I find i need to do several things daily to keep it manageable. 1) exercise, I walk 30 min 5 days per week 2) tapping videos like this one or meditation daily so your mind gets used to feeling safe. 3) Friends, reach out to someone every day. 4) Caffeine, i am down to 1 coffee per day. If you still have trouble see your doctor, there is lots they can do. Best wishes to you.
@@lynettemcmechan4207 thank you so much! Do you feel like anxiety comes from hormones or from symptoms? Like health anxiety? I'm doing this completely natural and it's been horrifying! I can't do HRT because I have cancer in my family
@@angelicaflores505 I also have cancer in my family so I am in the same boat. I am not sure but I feel that the hormones make the anxiety worse. I never had panic attacks until menopause but I have always been challenged by anxiety and depression. From time to time my doctor will prescribe a mild antidepressant for 6 months or a year while I do the work to get my feet back under me, Last year I also started seeing a therapist who does EMDR. Look it up and see what you think, it was a big help for me. Use every tool you can find until you see what works for you.
Panic, anxiety etc are so hellish. It's the other physiological symptoms that often don't get mentioned apart from a rapid heartbeat. Mine are tense muscles and a neck twitch, known as an anxiety tic. It comes and goes but it scared the crap out of me the first time. This video is great - Wishing everyone a swift recovery from this awful condition.
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.
Today I had an MRI appointment and before I started watching your videos I would have never gone through with this. It were 12 minutes of horror but thanks to you and your explanations of how fear works I made it with in the first try and without sedation. it's only one little step but I feel like you're big help in finding the right direction. thank you so much for your work!
DalekSmith tell me more about your MRI. I have one booked as my doctor knows I'm so worried that there's something wrong with my brain so hopefully it's more of a comfort thing as long as nothing is found. I have depression as well and I even worry that I've had a small stroke.
Hey@@michael5089 , my MRI was 'just' for the spine. After I told my doctor about the symptoms they slowly began to vanish but I did the MRI nevertheless to be sure it's just my fear. And I have to admit my worst worries in that situation wasn't about the outcome of the scan it was the small space in the MRI. The time in there wasn't great, but with closed eyes, positiv thoughts and Emmas voice in my head that it's just a sensation and it doesn't mean anything and so I got through. And looking back it wasn't that bad and I can see were I worried to much ...
I wish you all the best and am sure you will get through all of this and come out stronger!
@@daleksmith9064 Thank you for replying. I'm having a brain scan next month. Mainly due to my worry about something not being right. Although I think it's all to do with depersonalisation and derealization and anxiety. I've had a terrible year with mum and dad dying having a big impact. I'm now worried about the noise these scanners make and all sorts. Even if the magnetic force will loosen my fillings!! I didn't realize how strong they are. Any metal has to be removed from patient and even the room can't have say a metal chair else it would fly across the room!!!!! 😐😐😐😱
@@michael5089 I'm sorry for your loss! I can't imagine how hard that must be.
I was afraid of the noises too but now I can say most of the time it wasn't as loud as I expected. I got something to protect my ears and sometimes you even can listen to music. I tried to think of other things that would make these noises and some of them really had a beat to them like listening to techno music. You re right there is a magnetic field but metal wouldn't fly through the room. An earing could get loose thats it. Metal isn't allowed in these rooms because it affects the quality of the picture results.
This is so helpful! I am pretty young, and I never wanted to tell people about how sometimes I have panic attacks or anxiety attacks, because I was never sure. I didn’t want to “bother” anyone, especially if I was lying to myself about my mental state. Even though now I realize I do have panic attacks, and that I have anxiety, I can hopefully decrease them, or feel better in the moment. 💗💗🥰
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!
I got fired a few weeks ago and my anxiety has been horrible and I’ve been having at least a panic attack a day and I cannot express how helpful your videos have been for me. You are a blessing!
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
This was super helpful. Being a fresh out cardiac surgeon, prepping for my exit exam, trying to study with my cases, trying to find my place in the world, thinking of financial issues, balancing work-home life, balancing everything, all this was overwhelming for me and GOD knows I tried what not. From ruling out myocardial infarction to IBS to even thinking about GIT cancer, these intrusive thoughts almost pushed me over the edge, until l found this video on the youtube. I was all shaky, achy with dry mouth all the time and super anxious feeling about myself with my brain and thoughts amplifying every little pain like a mountain. I tried deep breathing and it actually made the thing worse.
This video, about opening myself up to my feelings and my thoughts and accepting them and willing to get through them, really helped me. I know, i’ll keep on working on this. But now I know, My feelings can’t kill me, unless i let them..❤ Thank you so much
I’m dealing with panic atack for over 15 years thank you for this video ı love your perspective!
Thank you for this Emma. I will let myself feel the feelings that I am feeling. I won't fight them. I will embrace the feelings. I know I am safe even if I think I am not.
