In this conversation with Dr. Bonnie Zucker, we explore what panic attacks really are, why fear of your own body can keep panic going, and the evidence-based strategies that help people recover. From health anxiety and hypervigilance to exercise, exposure therapy, and learning to trust your body's sensations again, this discussion is full of practical tools for lasting change.We also discuss why becoming too aware of your body can actually increase anxiety, why reassurance often backfires, and how understanding panic changes the way you respond to it. Dr. Zucker shares insights from decades of treating panic disorder and discusses her new book, Freedom from Panic.Panic attacks are terrifying—but they are treatable. The more you understand what's happening in your mind and body, the less power panic has over your life.If my podcast has helped, my new book, The Light Between the Leaves, goes even deeper

Most coping skills fail because they're used one at a time. When you're dealing with severe anxiety, depression, panic attacks, or trauma, a single coping skill often feels hopelessly inadequate—it is.
Your nervous system doesn't understand words. It understands actions. Sometimes the goal isn't finding a better coping skill—it's using enough of the right ones together.

Can TMS help autism, depression, OCD, PTSD, or autistic burnout? In this conversation, I sit down with Kelly Jensen of Brain Performance Technologies and the Refrigerator Moms podcast to discuss what Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and MeRT are, how they work, and why more families deserve to know these treatments exist.We talk about autism, late diagnosis, sensory overload, burnout, depression, parenting, and Kelly's personal journey after watching her autistic son experience life-changing improvements with MeRT. We also discuss why so many people have never heard of these treatments, despite years of research and FDA clearances.Whether you're autistic, parenting an autistic child, or supporting someone who is, I hope this conversation gives you new ideas to explore and reminds you that there are often more options than you realize.If you have question for Kelley, you can send them to Ask@1bpt.com.

In this video, I explain the three distinct types of suicidal ideation I've observed throughout my career—and why treating them all the same often leaves people feeling even more alone.We explore analytical suicidal ideation, inexplicable suicidal ideation, and emotional suicidal ideation, what separates them, and why each requires a different path toward healing. If you've ever thought, "The advice everyone gives me doesn't actually help," this conversation may finally put words to your experience.If you're in immediate danger or believe you may act on suicidal thoughts, contact your local emergency services or a crisis service right away. My hope is that this discussion helps you better understand what you're experiencing so you can find the kind of support that truly fits your needs.

In this conversation with anxiety expert Dr. Russell Kennedy  @theanxietymd  we explore why anxiety lives in the body—not just the mind—and why trying to think your way out of it often makes it worse.We discuss somatic therapy, CBT, childhood trauma, uncertainty, high-functioning anxiety, emotional avoidance, and practical techniques that can help you stop feeding the cycle of worry. If you've ever felt trapped in overthinking, this conversation may change how you understand anxiety forever.I also share why some of the smartest, most successful people remain deeply anxious, how uncertainty becomes addictive, and what both of us believe is one of the most important skills for lasting emotional healing.
