How can I manage my panic attacks?

It's important to have coping strategies in place. Have you tried deep breathing exercises or grounding techniques?

I've heard about deep breathing. Can you guide me through it?

Of course! Try inhaling deeply through your nose for a count of four, holding for four, and exhaling through your mouth for four. Let's do it together.

That feels calming. What else can I do when I feel a panic attack coming?

You can also try to focus on your surroundings. Name five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.

Thank you! I feel a bit more in control now.
