I used to think I had to fight panic to beat it. Control the heart racing. Stop the spiraling thoughts. Avoid any place where “it” might happen.

Spoiler: That only made it worse.

The more I ran from panic, the more power it had over me. Until one day, my body was so exhausted from anxiety… it literally couldn’t produce a panic attack anymore. I wasn’t healed. I was just burnt out.

That’s when I learned the truth: Panic attacks aren’t dangerous. They’re adrenaline surges. And the key isn’t stopping them – it’s feeling them, fully, without resistance.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I unlearned everything I thought would help and finally broke free from the panic cycle. You’ll hear exactly why distraction techniques and breathing hacks don’t work long-term – and how doing “nothing” is the most powerful thing you can do.

Tune in – this might be the shift you’ve been missing.
