A Live Training with Michelle Stiles, LMHC & Peter Ruppert (Replay Access Included) If you think you should be able to “just stop” having panic attacks by now… this is for you. Panic isn’t a weakness. It’s one of the fastest survival responses in the human body. And most people aren’t struggling because they’re fragile. They’re struggling because no one ever explained how this system actually works — or how to respond to it effectively. That’s what we’re doing in this training. This Is Different Peter and I are hosting this together, which means you won’t just hear theory. You’ll see a real-time conversation between: A clinician who treats panic every day A person who has lived through panic disorder and done extensive treatment You’ll hear how panic feels from the inside. And you’ll see how I conceptualize and treat it from the clinical side. That combination matters. Because effective panic treatment isn’t about overpowering your nervous system. It’s about changing how you respond to it. Here’s What We’ll Break Down What panic actually is (and why it happens so fast) Why having panic attacks is not a sign of weakness The fear-of-fear cycle that keeps people stuck The overlap between panic disorder and agoraphobia Anxiety sensitivity and how we assess it What effective treatment should look like (modeling an exposure and modeling a mindset shift formula) Common mistakes people — and clinicians — make Why my goal is not to eliminate panic attacks You’ll also see modelled examples of how I respond to panic in real time: What I might say. What I wouldn’t say. How we move toward values-based exposure rather than just trying to “get rid” of symptoms. What You’ll Leave With You’ll leave with: ✔ A new way to think about panic ✔ A clearer understanding of what effective treatment actually looks like ✔ Concrete tools you can use immediately ✔ A mindset shift that changes how you approach symptoms ✔ Resources to keep learning after the training Even if you’re not ready for interoceptive exposure, you’ll walk away with something useful. Because the first shift isn’t behavioral. It’s conceptual. This Is For: People with lived experience of panic disorder Therapists who want to sharpen how they treat panic Loved ones who want to better support someone Important Note This is psychoeducation, not therapy. It’s not individualized treatment. But it is an opportunity to understand panic from both sides — clinical and lived experience — in a way that’s rarely offered. 🗓 One hour 💻 Hosted on Anxiety Fitness 🎟 $29.99 If you’ve been hard on yourself for still having panic attacks, this training will help you understand why that narrative doesn’t fit. And once you understand panic differently, you respond differently. 👉 Reserve your spot.
