Bye Bye Panic

I Had Panic Attacks Three Times a Day – Here’s What Helped


Listen Later

It all started with a phone call.

A family member she wasn’t speaking to called her to say they were going to end their life – and that it would be Sofia’s fault. Then they hung up.

At that moment, Sofia Pfister was 16. And the call flipped a switch. 

By the end of the night, Sofia was having her first full-blown panic attack. Everything felt unreal. Her body went numb. Her thoughts were racing. Over the next few weeks, things got worse – daily panic attacks, agoraphobia, intrusive thoughts, DPDR. She couldn’t leave the house without breaking down. 

She thought she was definitely going crazy. So she turned to the Internet for answers. But nothing helped – until she came across my YouTube channel. That was the first time she felt understood. 

She downloaded the blueprint about the aware process and started studying it relentlessly. At 18, she joined our Light Program and treated it like a college course.

Her symptoms didn’t disappear overnight. But little by little, things changed. She started learning how anxiety really works. And what’s most important, she began responding instead of reacting. The panic faded. Her confidence came back.

Today, Sofia is thriving. In this episode, one of our mentors Kaylee sits down with her to talk through the journey – how she got out, what truly helped, and what she’d tell her younger self now.

Don’t miss this one.
