If you struggle with panic attacks, it can feel as if the world is closing in on you. Your heart races, your hands or feet may go numb, and you might even have trouble speaking.

With this accessible guide, you’ll learn proven-effective emotion regulation skills and body-based practices to rewire your nervous system for calm, stop panic attacks in the moment, and even prevent them from happening again.
