In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most powerful moments in Inside Out 2—Riley’s panic attack in the penalty box. This scene beautifully captures what a panic attack looks like on the outside and, more importantly, what it feels like on the inside. We’ll break down why panic attacks happen, how anxiety tries to protect us (even when it overwhelms us), and practical steps to regain control. If you’ve ever felt like your anxiety is too much to handle, this episode will give you tools to navigate those moments with both compassion and accountability—two key ingredients for emotional healing and growth.

✔ Panic attacks happen when Anxiety takes over, believing it’s protecting you.

✔ The way forward isn’t about erasing anxiety—it’s about embracing your full self.

✔ Grounding techniques (like breathing and physical touch) can help soothe panic.

✔ Speaking truth over yourself shifts your mindset from fear to love.

✔ Emotional maturity grows when we balance self-compassion and accountability.

✔ You are not broken—you are human, and that is enough.

If this episode resonates with you, take a moment to breathe, speak kindness over yourself, and remember: You are deeply loved just as you are. 💛

Remember: You’re not alone in your grief or your faith journey. God sees you, loves you, and wants to walk with you every step of the way.
