Understanding Panic: From Attacks to Disorder with Drew Linsalata
“So that's the difference between a panic attack, panic disorder and really knowing that difference will point you in the right direction: to work cognitive and behaviorally toward overcoming the disorder, as opposed to spending all of your time trying to deal with the physical sensations of panic and anxiety, because that ultimately turns out to be a dead end.”
Ever wondered why some people experience panic attacks while others develop full-blown panic disorder? In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', host Drew Linsalata breaks down the crucial differences between these two anxiety experiences. Panic attacks can hit suddenly, with intense fear and physical symptoms that peak within minutes. But when these episodes become frequent and start altering your behavior and thoughts, they can evolve into panic disorder.
Drew emphasizes that this shift is more about what's happening in your mind than in your body. It's the cognitive and behavioral patterns you develop in response to panic attacks that can turn them into a disorder. Drew's approach is both compassionate and practical, offering listeners a roadmap to recovery that focuses on changing these thought patterns and behaviors.
Whether you're dealing with occasional panic attacks or have been diagnosed with panic disorder, this episode provides valuable insights and strategies to help you regain control of your life. So, tune in and start understanding the mental mechanics behind your anxiety.
