Does anyone know of a phone app that can help calm you down from a panic attack?
I looked and there are several. I was just curious if someone had a recommendation for one that you’ve tried that helped you.

My T recommended "Headspace" but I've never actually tried it

Thank you! I have tried that one and I do like it. It’s more of a mindfulness teaching app to me. It is a good one! The reason I’m asking is for my son. He’s at work and is struggling. I was looking for an app that could help him settle himself and talk him through calming himself, like a coach maybe. It may not exist but thought I’d see if anyone had found something like this.

I've used affirmations on youtube. Personally I found it helpful when I was getting them first thing in the morning just after waking up.

I have an app suggestion but it isn’t exactly for panic attacks. It is called Mood Mint. People with anxious attachment styles are hyper vigilant towards negative social cues so this trains you to seek out positive facial expressions in others. MyCalmBeat is a good app for regulating your breathing. That has been pretty good for regulating anxiety.

Thank you Lemoncake and growlycat! I text them to him and we’ll see.
 I listened to the utube affirmation. It really calmed me. I’ll hang on to that for myself too. I’m about to look at the Mood Mint and MyCalmBeat. They sound great too! Thank you!
