🎙️ Let’s Talk Teens: Walking Your Teen Through a Panic Attack

Welcome to another episode of "Let’s Talk Teens!" with certified life coaches, Abbi Winslow and Cheree Murdock — where we help parents feel confident supporting their teens through big emotions and hard moments.

In this episode, we’re focusing on one of the most frightening experiences for both teens and parents: panic attacks. When your teen is overwhelmed by fear, their body feels out of control, and logic seems unreachable, knowing what to do in the moment matters.

We’ll walk you through how to recognize a panic attack, what to say (and what not to say), and simple grounding tools that can help calm your teen’s nervous system. You’ll also learn how to support them after the moment passes and build long-term skills to reduce future episodes.

If you’ve ever felt helpless watching your teen panic, this episode will give you calm, clear guidance to help them feel safe, supported, and capable of getting through it. 🎧✨
