Understanding Panic Attacks: Emotional First Aid to De-escalate Episodes
What to do during a panic attack? Remember the episode will peak and subside within 10-15 minutes. Practice slow breathing and utilize grounding sensory inputs.
A panic attack represents an exaggerated body alarm response when no immediate danger exists.
Fighting the sensation surges adrenaline; the key is allowing the wave to pass knowing it is temporary.
Pressing your feet to the floor or using cold water helps anchor you in the present moment.
At Oasis Mental Care, we provide evidence-based treatments to overcome panic anxiety.
