How to Stop a Panic Attack (A 3-Minute Nervous System Reset)
Your chest tightens. Your hands shake. Your heart races and you can't figure out why — and then the shame hits: "What is wrong with me?"
Nothing is wrong with you. In this episode, counselor and author Elisha breaks down the physiology behind a panic attack — what your vagus nerve is actually doing when it "wanders" into fight-or-flight — and walks you through the R.E.S.T. framework: a 3-minute, science-backed nervous system reset you can use the moment panic starts to rise.
This isn't "just pray more." This is somatic regulation and spiritual anchoring — because your body's design and your faith were never meant to be separated.
In this episode:
✅ Why panic attacks are physiological, not a character flaw
✅ The R.E.S.T. framework: Recognize, Extend the exhale, Somatic anchor, Truth reframe
✅ A guided 3-minute breathing practice you can do in the moment
✅ A breath prayer to anchor your nervous system in God's presence
✅ Your 7-day challenge to train your body toward safety
