In that surrender, we actually can find a calm that's based on knowing that panic is scary and difficult, but that we can actually handle it and find our way through to the other side.
Ever wondered if there's a different way to handle panic attacks? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', host Drew Linsalata flips the script on traditional calming techniques. Instead of fighting panic, Drew suggests a counterintuitive approach: embracing it. This might sound odd, but he explains how allowing the panic to wash over you can lead to a deeper sense of calm. Drew dives into the biology of panic and why our usual methods of battling it often fall short.
By accepting the panic rather than running from it, you can build resilience and confidence. Drew's perspective is both challenging and liberating, encouraging listeners to rethink their relationship with anxiety. It's not about quick fixes; it's about long-term change and self-compassion. If you're tired of the same old advice and ready for a fresh take on managing panic attacks, this episode offers a transformative outlook.
