I remember my last severe panic attack. I also have c-ptsd, and after decades of being poor, over worked, and re traumatized a couple times, I found myself living with my now husband, not working as a choice (so no finacial stress, and in therapy. I was safe. I was just begining therapy, but one day having a really hard time in my head that devolved into… a messy, aweful panic attack. I was alone, crying like a sob, and realized, “Im safe, I have people who love me, and no one will hurt me here”. I repeated this a few times, well, many times, and after a few minutes, calmed down and regulated.
Ill never forget it. it’s about 6 years later, and feeling healed is so beautiful.
