Understanding & Calming Panic Attacks

Panic attacks are scary. They can come out of nowhere and make us feel like we’re out of control and going crazy. In response, we tend to avoid things that trigger panic attacks and limit certain activities. Though a logical responses, it’s a trap.

In this workshop you’ll learn:

  • What causes panic attacks
  • What the anxiety cycle is and how we get easily trapped by it
  • New ways to respond to panic and anxiety
  • Practical steps to calm the parts of the brain responsible for panic
