How Tapping Interrupts Panic
A panic attack is your nervous system in overdrive. Your amygdala has detected a "threat" and triggered the full fight-or-flight response—even though there's no actual danger. The problem is that the more you panic about panicking, the worse it gets.
Tapping interrupts this cycle in two ways: it gives your racing mind something physical to focus on, and it sends calming signals directly to your amygdala. You're essentially telling your nervous system: "I see the alarm. It's okay to stand down."
What the research shows: Studies demonstrate that Tapping reduces cortisol by up to 43% and produces measurable changes in amygdala activity. For panic, this means directly calming the part of your brain that's triggering the alarm.
Real Results
Andrea
"I used to be on 13 prescription medications. Some of those medications were for Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, GERD, and Chronic Pain. Between 2013 and the present, I have cured Migraine headaches, Anxiety Disorder, Panic Attacks, Chronic Pain, Depression, GERD, and more with Tapping!"
Andrea's panic attacks were once so severe she was hospitalized and sedated for 5 days. Now, over 7 years panic-attack-free, she no longer needs any of her medications. "I feel so free and alive now! I love my new life!"
Louise
"Woke up last night with palpitations, night sweats and body fighting a bad cold. Couldn't breathe easy and was really restless and anxiety levels raising. After an hour or so of not being able to relax, I decided to do an anxiety Tapping session. Those 9 minutes Tapping reset me and within 15 minutes I was able to fall back to sleep."
"Literally as I was Tapping I could feel the anxiety dissipate. I am so grateful in finding this." The key insight: she waited an hour before remembering to tap. Now she goes straight to the app when panic hits.
Erikka
"When I think about the panic, anxiety and overwhelm I felt before I found The Tapping Solution—I can barely recognize the person that I was. Now, I am stronger, more confident, and I have reduced my anxiety from a daily occurrence to something that happens once in a while."
"It makes me sad to think about just how many people are living like I was with daily overwhelming panic and anxiety. Nick Ortner, Jessica Ortner, Alex Ortner—you have profoundly changed my life by sharing your gifts with me."
Deb
"I am a severe trauma and childhood sexual abuse survivor, C-PTSD, DID, Panic and Anxiety disorder, fibromyalgia. This app has saved me so many times. It doesn't matter what's happening—if I can tap through it and journal it, I can calm my nervous system down."
"Tapping puts my healing back into my hands. Yes, therapy is still a must when available, but I have journals full of new material to discuss and questions to ask, new insights into who I am, why I am, maybe who I can still be."
Evie
"Panic attacks no longer daily. Last time was when I got the vaccine—felt adrenaline rush but did stop the panic attack with Tapping meditation. It went away by end of session."
Evie's transformation goes beyond panic: "I had impulse spending habit—now I have money in savings. I was able to forgive my alcoholic father. No longer have brain fog when stressed. There is a lot more things that have changed but it would be a post as big as a novel."
Why Daily Practice Changes Everything
One pattern stands out across these stories: the people who experienced the most dramatic shifts were the ones who tapped consistently—often daily. This makes sense neurologically. Your nervous system learned to panic through repetition; it unlearns through repetition too.
The numbers: One user logged 250+ hours of Tapping. Another hit 1,977 sessions. But you don't need to tap for hours—even 10 minutes a day can help retrain your nervous system over time. The key is consistency, not intensity.
