Fighting a panic response with logic is usually a losing battle because your brain’s “alarm system” has already taken over. I’ve personally found that the only way to regain a sense of agency is to stop trying to “solve” the anxiety and start physically managing the physiological reaction.

For me, the real breakthrough was realizing that I didn’t need to be fearless—I just needed a reliable set of tools to use when the fear became too loud.
