This episode discusses how to help someone experiencing a panic attack and the consistent methods to manage anxiety symptoms.

A listener asked a common question: how do I help someone who’s having a “real” panic attack? In this episode, we talk about the different terms people use to describe anxiety symptoms (including panic) and the wonderfully consistent way to deal with them.
