Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • The lightheaded, tingly, floaty, this-isn’t-real feeling is the one that scares me most
  • The instant the room starts to spin or tilt I’m convinced I’m about to faint or collapse
  • I’ve built up all these little rituals to get through it
  • Part of why the racing heart and the dizziness terrify me is that I genuinely don’t know they can’t hurt me
  • Now I’m scared of the feelings themselves

  7. Interoceptive exposure for physical anxiety sensations
    Deliberately produce feared bodily sensations (racing heart, dizziness) to learn they are tolerable.

  8. Use the dive reflex as a first-response to panic
    When panic peaks and cognitive tools fail, cold water on the face gives the body a hardwired override.

  9. Interoceptive Exposure for Panic
    Interoceptive exposure deliberately induces the bodily sensations of panic — racing heart, dizziness, breathlessness — in a safe setting so the brain learns those sensations are not dangerous. It is a well-supported component of panic disorder treatment, with randomized-trial evidence showing significant reductions in panic frequency and avoidance.
  10. Use somatic tracking instead of distraction
    Observe sensations with neutral curiosity rather than distracting from them — the curiosity interrupts the threat appraisal.
