How to Stop a Panic Attack: What Actually Helps

from Seen Hosted by Seen Therapy Services

Cassandra is a licensed therapist and EMDR Consultant at Seen Therapy Services in Springfield, Missouri, offering EMDR therapy, EMDR intensives, and couples counseling in person and via telehealth throughout Missouri.

"Do not try to verbally reason with someone in the middle of a panic attack. Would you walk up to a gazelle being chased by a lion and tell it to calm down? No. We are going to physically ground them instead."
