Lesson Overview

7.14 – How Cold Water Can Calm Acute Panic: Splashing cold water on your face or holding an ice cube can stop panic in its tracks. The shock sends a signal through your nervous system that interrupts the fear cycle. It slows your heart rate and helps bring your attention to physical sensation instead of racing thoughts. This method activates the “diving reflex,” which naturally calms the body. You can also wash your hands in cool water or use a cold cloth on your neck. The goal isn’t discomfort—it’s to ground your senses quickly. Cold breaks panic’s momentum like pressing a reset button. Many people find it surprisingly effective and easy to use. Over time, you’ll learn when and how it works best for you.
