Prioritize physiology: breathing mechanics/CO₂ literacy, sleep/recovery, reflux care, graded movement, stress load.

“Yes” to both → often a conditioned pattern (avoidance learning).
If spikes correlate with load/physiology (sleep, stress, reflux, subtle hyperventilation), consider a biochemical track.

- Are your attacks recurrent and unexpected?
- Have you started worrying about more attacks or changed your behavior to avoid places/sensations?

I built a self-paced Panic Program to explain these patterns simply and give evidence-based tools.
I’m a licensed psychologist (10+ years) and use the same principles I rely on in therapy.

Conditioned:
Fear attaches to sensations/places: heart racing, breath shifts, trains, restaurants, tunnels.
Avoidance grows; life shrinks.

There are (at least) two patterns:

That’s exactly why I created my Panic Program.
I’m a licensed psychologist with 10+ years of experience helping people with panic and anxiety.
I designed this program to share the same tools I use in therapy.

If you’ve lived with panic, you know the pattern:
- Your heart races “out of nowhere”
- Doctors say nothing’s wrong
- Fear of the next attack shapes your whole life
