Practices that may help
- The Clark Panic Model, Made Practical
David Clark's cognitive model proposes that panic attacks are driven by catastrophic misinterpretation of benign bodily sensations — a racing heart is read as a heart attack, dizziness as fainting. This interpretation triggers more anxiety, which amplifies the sensation, completing a rapid escalating loop. CBT based on this model — identifying and correcting the misinterpretation — is among the most effective treatments for panic disorder, with a very large and consistent RCT evidence base. - Identify the catastrophic misinterpretation
Name exactly which bodily sensation you are having and exactly what you fear it means.
The Clark Panic Model, Made Practical - Run a behavioral experiment to test the catastrophic prediction
Treat the catastrophic belief as a testable hypothesis and design a real-world test.
The Clark Panic Model, Made Practical - External focus: redirect attention away from bodily sensations
Shift attention outward during anxiety to disrupt the monitoring loop that amplifies sensations.
The Clark Panic Model, Made Practical - Interoceptive exposure: deliberately induce the feared sensations
Reproduce the physical sensations of panic in a safe, controlled way to break the sensation-fear link.

Notice the things you do to prevent catastrophe during panic — and experiment with dropping them.
The Clark Panic Model, Made Practical - Generate alternative, benign explanations for the sensation

The Four Stages of Psychological Safety - The Four Stages of Psychological Safety
Timothy Clark’s four-stage model holds that psychological safety develops in a predictable sequence: people first need to feel included, then safe to learn (make mistakes), then to contribute ideas, then to challenge the status quo. Skipping stages or pushing for challenger safety before inclusion is established typically backfires. The model is a practitioner framework grounded in Clark’s organizational consulting work and Edmondson’s foundational research. - Diagnose which stage your team is in
Name the stage you’re in before you pick a leadership response.
