An adult panic workbook for understanding panic as a brain-body alarm, reducing fear of body sensations, and practicing practical coping tools for panic waves. Includes psychoeducation, reflection prompts, nervous system support, and gentle skill-building.
When Panic Hits is designed for adults who experience panic attacks, fear of body sensations, sudden waves of anxiety, avoidance, or the exhausting loop of “what if this happens again?” It helps make panic less mysterious and gives you tools to work with your nervous system instead of fighting it.
Want support for younger clients or family members too? This workbook is part of the When Panic Hits series, with separate Little Sticky Brain and Teen editions available for different developmental needs.
