How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this engaging episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and actress/model Nikki Leigh tackle the intense experience of panic attacks, offering a practical technique to break them in just two minutes. Panic attacks can feel like an overwhelming wave of fear, making you feel breathless or even as if you're having a heart attack. But fear not, Dr.
Amen introduces a simple yet effective breathing exercise that anyone can master. You'll learn about diaphragmatic breathing, a method that involves breathing deeply with your belly rather than your chest. This technique not only calms the mind but also increases lung capacity—an essential skill for singers and those prone to anxiety alike. Dr. Amen humorously suggests swapping a book for an 'antitor'—a playful way to remind us to get rid of those 'automatic negative thoughts' or 'ANTs'.
This episode isn't just about panic attacks; it's about reclaiming control over your brain and body. Dr. Amen's advice is straightforward: practice deep breathing regularly so when anxiety strikes, you're ready to face it head-on. It's a life skill that extends beyond panic attacks, helping with anxiety, depression, and even enhancing overall well-being. So, are you ready to take a deep breath and calm your mind?
This episode promises to equip you with tools that could make a real difference in your day-to-day life.
