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.
