Lesson Overview

15.1 What Is a Panic Attack: A panic attack is a sudden wave of intense fear that feels like an emergency even when there is no actual danger present. Your heart races, breathing becomes difficult, your chest tightens, and your mind may scream that something terrible is happening. You might feel dizzy, detached, or convinced you are losing control or dying. These reactions come from the body’s alarm system being triggered accidentally, activating fight-or-flight mode without a real threat. Understanding panic attacks helps you see that the fear is real but the danger is not. The sensations are powerful but temporary. As you learn why panic appears and how it works, you become less afraid of the symptoms and more capable of riding the wave until it passes. Panic attacks do not mean your body is broken — they mean your nervous system is trying too hard to protect you, and you are learning how to guide it back to calm and safety with confidence.
