Decoding Panic: Insights from Chapter 2 of Hope And Help For Your Nerves

Those things are not designed to stop this dead in its tracks...you're really just treating a symptom as opposed to treating what's really causing the problem when you do that.
Ever wondered why your body reacts the way it does during a panic attack? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata and Holly dive into Chapter 2 of Claire Weekes' book, 'Hope And Help For Your Nerves'. They break down the fight or flight response, explaining that these intense feelings are not dangerous but rather a normal, involuntary reaction to perceived threats.
You'll learn that while you can't stop these sensations, you can change how you interpret and respond to them. Drew and Holly emphasize the importance of addressing the root causes of anxiety rather than just managing the symptoms. They discuss cognitive strategies that can help you rethink your reactions to panic and anxiety, making them less frightening.
This episode is a treasure trove of practical advice for anyone dealing with anxiety disorders, offering a mix of empathy and expertise to help you reclaim control over your life.
