If you feel like you can’t go into grocery stores, drive on the highway, or sit in a restaurant without spiraling, you probably think those places are the problem. For years, I was convinced that traffic was my enemy and being far from home was "dangerous."

But in this episode, I’m sharing the realization that changed everything for me: Panic disorder and agoraphobia aren't actually about places, they are about the fear of fear.

I’m diving deep into why our brains create these false associations and how we can start to break the cycle of avoidance. If your world has felt like it's shrinking, this episode is for you.
