Panic attacks

When fear rises so fast the body believes it's dying.

Cognitive Regulation perspective

CR teaches you to read the early signals of a panic surge, regulate the breath and posture before the spike, and uncouple the body sensations from the catastrophic story the brain attaches to them.

Common signs

  • Sudden surge of intense fear, peaking within minutes.
  • Pounding heart, breathlessness, dizziness, tingling.
  • Fear of losing control, going crazy, or dying.
  • Avoiding places where attacks have happened.

Panic disorder is highly treatable

Most patients see significant change within 4–8 weeks of structured CR work, often without medication.
