For those who don’t know what that is: basically you pick a symptom of a panic attack e.g. racing/thudding heartbeat. Then you bring on the symptom by walking fast on the spot until your heart is racing. By simulating a symptom of a panic attack in a controlled environment you teach your brain that a thudding heart is not dangerous. That’s the gist of it anyway.

Hugs to those who need them.
So happy your doing well

That way of dealing with Panic attacks sounds awesome , I will try and remember to try that on my next one which is daily, many times !! ACK !
