Are we still talking about stress and anxiety? Yes... yes we are. Because it never f***ing goes away. And panic attacks, in particular, have become a very broad, catch-all topic for a variety of still-potentially-severe-but-not-actually-panic-attack problems. That’s why we’re bringing on our good friend, Dr. Ellen Vora, to lay out the real deal about panic attacks: what they actually are, and how you can cope with them. She practically wrote the book on it — Ok, she ACTUALLY wrote the book on it. The Anatomy of Anxiety is available now.

 

Dr. Ellen Vora talks about…

  • Unpacking what panic attacks are

  • False anxiety vs true anxiety

  • How the fear economy preys on our anxiety

  • What to do when you’re experiencing a panic attack

  • How to set ourselves up to avoid them in the first place
