In this episode, I share a difficult stage of my life marked by panic attacks during my transition to the U.S. I talk about how a simple church pamphlet helped me understand what I was experiencing, my first neurofeedback sessions at the university counseling center, and the functional testing that showed me there was also a chemical side to my mental health. I reflect on the tension between medication and natural alternatives, and how small steps gave me resilience. This episode is for anyone who feels something isn’t right in their body but still hasn’t found answers.
