238: 30 Years of Panic and Agoraphobia — Former P2P student Lauri's Story of Finally Finding Her Way Out

What does it actually look like to spend 30 years hiding panic disorder and agoraphobia from everyone around you and then finally decide you're done?In this episode, I sit down with Lauri, a former Panic to Peace student and current community member, for one of the most honest and moving recovery conversations yet. Lauri's story started with a panic attack at a client dinner that she didn't even recognize as a panic attack. What followed was three decades of a world that kept getting smaller... avoided highways, relying on safe people, safety behaviors, and a level of shame so deep she hid it from the colleagues she worked alongside for 20 years.Lauri opens up about what it felt like to hit her lowest point, why she stayed stuck for so long, and what finally shifted when she found a community of people who actually understood. She talks about her three C's of healing, the small steps that led to big ones, and what it felt like to take a five-day trip and think... I'm finally living again.GET ON THE PANIC TO PEACE WAITING LIST: https://www.ahealthypush.com/live-panic-to-peaceJOIN MY COACHING COMMUNITY: https://www.ahealthypush.com/communityA HEALTHY PUSH INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/ahealthypush/GET THIS EPISODE'S SHOW NOTES: https://www.ahealthypush.com/post/30-years
