Ep032 Panic Attacks

Sudden fear, racing heart, gasping for breath—panic attacks can feel like a medical emergency. But knowing how to respond can help someone regain control and feel safe again.

In this episode, we explore:

• How to recognise the signs of a panic attack

• The difference between a panic attack and something more serious

• What to say (and not say) when supporting someone

• Simple first aid strategies to help someone calm their breathing

• When to call for help, and when reassurance is enough

Panic attacks are real, intense, and frightening—but your calm response can make all the difference.
