I’m Kate! I work with anxious adults who have panic attacks about having panic attacks and I help them stop fearing how they feel.
Drop the exhausting fight against anxiety. Change your response to it instead.
My clients struggle as you do. Despite being high functioning, hard workers and self aware, life is hard. When they first come to see me, they’ve been enduring panic attacks for years. They’ve been diagnosed, they’ve seen a therapist and they’ve tried medication. The breathing exercises, grounding techniques and meditations have helped some, but it’s only been a bandaid.
They’re scared to leave the house or go somewhere outside their comfort zone because they fear they’ll have a panic attack and be unable to control it. They’re frustrated and sad because they feel like they’re avoiding life because of panic. They panic about panic attacks and don’t know how to break this cycle. Most days are spent in fear of their anxiety, scared to have a panic attack in public. They think they have to fight it, or they’ll lose all control.
They’ve been to see doctors but leave with unanswered questions, wondering why their panic attacks aren’t getting better even after years of therapy, or why their panic attacks still happen even when they’re feeling calm or having a decent day.
They want freedom, not symptom management. They’re afraid of being told again to just breathe or splash their face with cold water. They’re tired of needing an escape plan everywhere they go just in case a panic attack happens. The worst part is that they don’t always know the trigger. They think this could be easier to deal with if they knew why it was happening. But the attacks are always at the edge of their mind, waiting to happen at the most inconvenient moment, without a warning.
The anxiety and worry about having a panic attack gets in the way of the life they want in so many ways. They aren’t the kind of partner or friend they want to be. They feel like they’re letting others down because anxiety and panic attacks are controlling their lives. And their confidence that they could ever recover from panic attacks or live normally with them is tanking.
Before they came to see me, their anxiety made them believe they’d be stuck feeling this way forever, in a state of constant panic. They feel so much relief when the panic attack ends, only to plan and prep in fear for the next one. They thought they were broken, their nervous system beyond repair. They worried they must be the only one who panics over basic tasks and “normal” life things. And they were pretty certain they would have to succumb to the anxiety forever, limiting so much they wished they could do. Their panic attacks and fear of having them was debilitating.
You don’t have to sit through and white knuckle your panic attacks anymore. Learn to feel at ease with them.
Like my clients, you deserve to live without panic controlling your life.
