197: From Decades of Anxiety & Panic to Finding Real Relief with P2P Student Louise

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve tried everything to overcome panic and anxiety but nothing seems to work, you’re going to connect so deeply with today’s conversation.

Louise, a Panic to Peace graduate from Australia, has been navigating panic and anxiety since her teens. For decades she tried it all... therapy, strategies, exposure, meditation, journaling, yoga, only to find herself stuck in the same exhausting cycle. She felt like something was fundamentally wrong with her, and that maybe she’d be dealing with panic forever.

But this year, everything shifted.

Inside Panic to Peace, Louise discovered what had really been keeping her stuck: the constant fight to “fix” herself, the endless search for strategies, and the lack of compassion for her own emotions. In this episode, she shares how learning to stop digging, practicing self-compassion, and approaching her experiences with more curiosity has helped her finally find real relief and trust in herself.

We talk about:

Louise’s decades-long struggle with panic and anxiety, and why strategies weren’t working
How grief and unprocessed emotions can fuel anxiety
The mindset shifts that helped her stop trying to “fix” herself and start healing
Why self-compassion (and even letting herself cry!) has been so powerful in her recovery
The wins she’s experienced in just a few months, and how she’s building confidence for the future

This conversation is full of honesty, hope, and inspiration. Whether you’ve been struggling for months or decades, Louise’s story is a beautiful reminder that recovery is absolutely possible for you, too.
