Struggling with panic attacks, panic disorder, or anxiety attacks? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. In this video, we answer the most common questions I receive from clients and followers about panic and recovery. We explore how panic disorder differs from general anxiety, how avoidance behaviors unintentionally keep you stuck, and how to begin breaking the cycle with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and science-backed strategies.

You’ll learn how to gently face panic with self-compassion, reframe common fears (like panic in public or while driving), and take your first small step toward healing.

We also discuss the mindset shifts that truly change everything in recovery. Whether you’ve struggled for years or are just beginning your journey, this is for you. Panic is treatable—and recovery is possible. #PanicAttacks #PanicDisorder #CBT #CognitiveBehavioralTherapy #AnxietyAttacks

Although Emma McAdam is a licensed marriage and family therapist, the views expressed on this site or any related content should not be taken for medical or psychiatric advice. Always consult your physician before making any decisions related to your physical or mental health. In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger Institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction.

And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe
