The power of vulnerability: A true story of conquering panic attacks

Are panic attacks isolating you from seeking help and support? It's time to confront your vulnerabilities and practise true vulnerability, just like Suzanne did.

Suzanne's anxiety was deeply rooted in childhood, and her panic attacks were destroying her. She felt like a failure, drowning in shame, and terrified of the world. But she summoned the courage to confront her resentments and regurgitate a lifetime's worth of repressed emotions on paper.

Slowly, Suzanne started opening up to trusted friends and then to her boss, coming prepared with a solution that was beneficial to her employer. By sharing her worries and ridiculous stories, she allowed herself to be met with compassion, and the panic attacks all but stopped.

It took just one month for Suzanne to conquer her panic attacks, but she acknowledges that a lifetime's worth of anxiety resulting from trauma doesn't evaporate in that time. Keep your expectations in check, but know that it's possible to make life-changing progress in a short amount of time. Practice true vulnerability and seek help to conquer your panic attacks today.
