Summary
Access Owning It Real Time HERE
This guide is for a panic attack that can strike you whenever, wherever, the situation here is less specific, but how you approach it - or how I would always have approached it, once I better understood how to get through it, is specific. Own your panic attack as it's happening with Owning It Real Time, where I walk you through the anxiety in the moment. With understanding, compassion and acceptance, we move beyond the panic attack, setting you up for a calmer day.
Order yourself (or for a friend) a copy of my new book, Everything I Wish I'd Known About Anxiety: A Roadmap out of the Overwhelm and Back to Yourself here

| 0:20.1 | Hey, welcome to owning it real time. In this audio guide, |
| 0:24.8 | I'm going to help you move through a panic attack in real time. This is another version of what's |
| 0:30.5 | already available in a longer episode over on the regular podcast, the episode that inspired me |
| 0:35.7 | to create this whole real timetime series in the first place |
| 0:38.2 | because of how many of you seem to listen to it again and again. |
| 0:42.3 | So let's be here in this moment, wherever you are. |
| 0:46.3 | Maybe it's happening for you right now, or maybe it's just happened a few moments ago, and |
| 0:50.3 | you're reeling from the experience. |
| 0:52.3 | I have been there so many times. I know exactly how you're |
| 0:56.3 | feeling. To start, if you can get yourself into a calm environment, a quiet space or somewhere |
| 1:02.9 | with some distance from other people, so that you can let this happen. If lying down is possible |
| 1:08.8 | and if that feels good for you, do that. |
| 1:11.6 | If sitting up straight helps, do that. |
| 1:13.6 | If you're stuck on a bus, don't worry. |
| 1:15.6 | Just keep your headphones in and close your eyes. |
| 1:19.6 | There are no hard and fast rules for how to have a panic attack. |
| 1:24.6 | Just ask yourself how your body might feel more comfortable in this precise moment. |
| 1:28.7 | What do you need? Fresh air, a seat, a glass of water. Walk out of a busy room and into a |
| 1:36.0 | toilet cubicle if you have to. If you're out with other people, I know you'll be worried about |
| 1:40.9 | what they're thinking, but they're probably far less aware of what's happening for you than you think. |
