Summary
She was visibly shaking. Her hands were trembling and she was asking me to help. Her face was so pale that my own panic started to set in.
This was the start of an anxiety attack.
Anxiety and panic attacks can overwhelm both the person having them and the person trying to support them.
In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I’ll explore how anxiety and panic attacks grow and what we can do to support our kids who have them.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the AT Parenting Survival Podcast, where you get help and guidance through the |
| 0:08.2 | Chaos of Parenting a Child with Anxiety or OCD. |
| 0:12.1 | This show is for educational purposes |
| 0:14.3 | and is not intended to replace the guidance |
| 0:16.5 | of a qualified professional. |
| 0:18.6 | Here's your host, child therapist, Natasha Daniels. |
| 0:22.3 | Well, hello there and welcome to another episode of the AT Parenting |
| 0:26.0 | Survival Podcast. Today I want to talk to you and help support you in you helping and supporting your child with anxiety attacks and panic attacks. |
| 0:36.3 | There's a difference between them and we'll talk about that, but how do you help navigate them through it? |
| 0:41.7 | It is one of, I think, the most overwhelming things |

I've had people in my office have anxiety and panic attacks in front of me and I've treated |
| 1:56.7 | and helped people get through anxiety and panic attacks and I've worked with their families |
| 2:00.6 | on how to help their kids, teens and young adults. So a lot to cover today to |
| 2:06.4 | support you. I do feel like one of the biggest struggles with it is how we manage ourselves and our mindset and how we show up |
| 2:18.4 | during that tornado so we're gonna focus on that and that is why I do want to mention as well that my |
