Not all supplements are created equal. Find reputable, high-quality brands like Pure Encapsulations, Thorne, and Seeking Health. Purchase from distributors that use temperature-controlled warehouses and ship with cold packs in the summer (Amazon do neither of them).
I provide each of my clients with access to Fullscript. Fullscript is by far #1 in the industry, providing lab-grade conditions all the way from the manufacturer to your doorstep.

Therapists: Resolve elements of your past, explore the motives for current behavior, and share your feelings in a safe space.
Psychologists: Dive into the deep end of the pool to explore what makes you, you.
Hypnotherapists: Tinker with the part of your brain most responsible for behavior - the subconscious. This also amplifies the effectiveness of all the other tools on this list.
After a panic attack, it's normal to avoid the people, places, or activities taking place at the time. Your brain is overprotecting you. It needs you to show it that it doesn't need to.
CBT is how you do the work to clear those blocks.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying and challenging irrational thoughts and behaviors to reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks.
For a time I struggled with panic attacks while getting haircuts. Completely irrational. My CBT protocol was:
Sit in the parking lot, go home.
Sit in the waiting room, go home.
Sit in the waiting room open to a drop-in appointment. If the moment feels right, go for it. If it doesn't, go home.
Seems simple right? I cut my own hair for two years to avoid having to do this work. Panic is illogical.
The key is knowing it's happening and raising your hand for help getting back on track.

- Benzodiazepines
- Anti-Depressants
- Beta Blockers
- Sleep AidsThese all come with a price, especially benzodiazapines and sleep aids.
Work with a psychiatrist if you choose to go this route and consider using only as a short term solution to get you to the other tools on this list.

Psychedelics can help unwind the trauma of panic attacks, along with any trauma that may have contributed to them in the first place.
While I can't help you find these substances, I do offer prep and integration services to clients who figure it out for themselves. Legal status varies.
Psilocybin: decriminalized in some cities/states for personal use, but illegal to sell. So still gray area.
Ketamine: legal in-clinic IV or with a Spravato Rx (rare) in some states.
MDMA: open trials that can be joined.
Ibogaine, Ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT: require a trip outside the United States. Literally.

One of the worst parts of panic is losing a sense of control over your body. Sweating, heart rate, breathing.
Inducing hypothermic and hyperthermic conditions allows you to get that sense of control back.
The most accessible form of this is your shower. To start:
3 min hot, 1 min cold
2 min hot, 2 min cold
1 min hot, 3 min coldStart with cool, work your way to cold.
End on cold if you can. Let your body naturally rewarm itself.
Get a pair of waterproof headphones from Amazon for $20 and find a few songs to help power through the cold.
If you have access to them, a dry sauna at 180º for 15-20 minutes and an ice bath at 40º for 3-5 minutes are ideal.

Physiological Sigh
Inhale through the nose, inhale again to fill lungs, exhale slowly through the mouth.
Lung inflation causes pulmonary stretch receptors to activate, parasympathetic response slows heart rate, enhanced carbon dioxide removal, improved oxygenation.
Box Breathing
Inhale, hold, exhale, hold. 4 seconds each.

Inflammation contributes to panic. Carbs, gluten, and dairy cause inflammation. You get the idea. I landed somewhere in the land of paleo, keto, and slow carb - with an affinity for smoothies.
If we're working together we can set up a menu of what you're currently eating, see where you want to go, and what incremental changes we need to make in order to get there with the minimum effective dose.
-
When you run hot it can be difficult to cool the engines down. Turning them off entirely can seem impossible, whether that's getting to sleep or staying asleep.
Panic and sleep go toghinteresting ways, such as staying up because those hours alone are more peaceful than the seeming chaos of the day.
-
However you choose to move, keep it interesting. Interesting keeps it consistent. Consistency is the key to success.
If we're working together we'll set incremental goals that keep you right on the edge of your comfort zone, always pushing farther.
