5 Tips for Panic Attacks That Really Work
Manage episode 506393627 series 3611363
Struggling does not mean lack of faith. In this episode, we share why struggle is part of faith — and 5 practical tips to calm panic attacks.
Does struggling mean you lack faith? In this episode of A Better Way to Heal, Elly and Isa dig into that big question with wisdom from Elijah, David, and Job. We talk about why pain and faith can coexist — and why honest struggle is not weakness but part of our faith journey.
Along the way, we also get practical. Panic attacks can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face them without tools. We share 5 tips that really work to calm panic attacks:
- 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding — connect with your senses to stay present.
- Change Your Temperature — cold water, warm cloth, or another shift to reset your body.
- Butterfly Taps — gentle bilateral tapping to soothe the nervous system.
- Vagus Nerve Breathing — inhale for 2, exhale long and slow to calm your body.
- The Power of a Hug — safe, supportive touch that regulates and grounds.
If you’ve ever been told your struggle means you don’t have enough faith, this conversation will bring comfort and clarity. God meets us in the middle of our struggle, not after we “snap out of it.”
Tune in to learn why struggling does not equal lack of faith — and walk away with practical tools you can use the next time anxiety or panic shows up.
