Panic disorder and how EMDR can help
So, imagine you're walking down the street, enjoying your day, when suddenly, out of nowhere, your heart starts racing, your palms get sweaty, and you feel like you can't catch your breath. It's like your body hits the panic button for no apparent reason. That's what it feels like for someone experiencing a panic attack, and it's a key feature of panic disorder.
Panic disorder is like having an overprotective alarm system in your body. It's when your brain mistakenly interprets harmless situations as threats, triggering these intense episodes of fear and physical symptoms. And here's the thing - it's not your fault! It's just your body's way of trying to protect you, albeit a bit too enthusiastically sometimes.
But the good news is, you're not alone, and there's help available. Therapy, like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can teach you techniques to manage those panic attacks and even prevent them from happening as often. Medications can also lend a helping hand in calming those jitters.
So, if you're going through this, know that it's okay to reach out for support. You deserve to feel calm and in control, and together, we can work towards that brighter, panic-free future.
