Interoceptive exposure is a way to gently practice feeling the body sensations that usually scare you during a panic attack—like a fast heartbeat, dizziness, or shortness of breath. Instead of avoiding them, you bring them on in a safe way and let yourself notice that nothing bad happens. The importance of this is that your brain starts to understand: “These feelings are uncomfortable, but they are not dangerous.” Little by little, the fear loses its power, and panic attacks become less overwhelming. It’s like training your body and mind to stop seeing panic as a threat.
