Panic Proof: Healing Anxiety, Stress, and Panic with Dr. Nicole Cain

Published 8 months ago

Description

This is StRest! In this conversation, Kerstin sits down with Dr. Nicole Cain—clinical psychologist, author of Panic Proof, and nationally recognized leader in trauma-informed holistic medicine. Together, they unpack the difference between stress, anxiety, and panic, and why your body’s fear response is actually a clue pointing you toward healing.

Dr. Nicole shares her own story of developing a fear of flying after turbulence triggered a trauma response, and how she learned to retrain her brain and body. She introduces practical tools—from cold therapy and havening, to gut health and hormone balance—that can help you calm panic in the moment and reverse the cycle long-term.

This episode will show you how fear of the fear spreads, how panic generalizes into daily life, and how you can reprogram your nervous system with curiosity and agency. You’ll leave with a fresh perspective, simple grounding practices, and the reminder that you aren’t broken—you’re worthy of healing.
