I feel panic building — Work Through
This version gives you more room to slow the body, regulate breath, and come back into safer ground.
Work through
- Notice where the overload is strongest in your body.
- Use steady breathing for several rounds without forcing it.
- Reduce stimulation around you if possible.
- Name what your body seems to think is happening.
- Give your nervous system one small signal of safety right now.
Next path
You do not need to solve everything in one pass. Choose the next path that feels closest to what is still active.
Pause here if you feel unsafe
If you feel unsafe, may harm yourself or someone else, or are in immediate danger, call emergency services right away or contact a crisis line in your area.
