Find Calm Amidst the Storm with the Six Pillars of Transformation

Living in Cody, WY, offers the serenity of nature and a close-knit community, but for many, panic attacks can disrupt this sense of calm, creating unexpected waves of intense fear and discomfort. Panic attacks are often sudden and overwhelming, with symptoms like a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness, and a feeling of detachment from reality. They can be especially isolating in a small-town setting, but it’s essential to know that panic attacks are not a sign of personal failure or weakness. They are natural responses, signaling a need for understanding, care, and the right support.

At Bydand Therapy, located near Cody, we view panic attacks as a part of the human experience—one that, with compassionate guidance, can be managed and understood. Through our structured therapy, grounded in the Six Pillars of Transformation, we help clients regain peace, understand their experiences, and feel empowered to take control of their lives.

Our methods, particularly suited to this area, are designed to help you develop inner resilience, even in moments when panic strikes unexpectedly.

Our Transformative Approach to Panic Attacks

Our method is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), integrating the Six Pillars of Transformation to help you navigate panic with clarity and purpose:

• Contacting the Present Moment (Be Here Now): Practicing mindfulness helps reduce preoccupation with fear, grounding you in the present and making it easier to engage with Cody’s natural surroundings as a grounding tool.
• Defusion (Watch Your Thinking): Observing your thoughts without judgment helps you see them as passing, allowing you to experience Cody’s tranquility without being overshadowed by fear.
• Acceptance (Open Up): Embracing all emotions builds resilience, giving you the strength to engage with community life in Cody without panic holding you back.
• Self-as-Context (Balancing Self-Identity): Recognizing yourself beyond moments of panic helps maintain a sense of stability, crucial for those facing isolation in rural settings.
• Values (Know What Matters): Identifying and aligning with your core values brings meaning to your life, fostering a strong foundation for peace in Cody’s beautiful but sometimes challenging environment.
• Committed Action (Do What It Takes): Taking action in line with your values allows you to build a fulfilling life in Cody, one that’s less dominated by fear.

A Five-Step Process to Navigate Panic Attacks

Alongside the Six Pillars, we offer a practical five-question approach to help you manage panic attacks effectively:

1. Acknowledge Thoughts, Feelings, and Sensations
   Observe and name what’s happening within you, without judgment.
2. Validate: Does This Make Sense?
   Reflect on the roots of your reaction. It’s natural to feel overwhelmed in certain settings, especially in a close-knit community like Cody, where seeking support may feel difficult.
3. Identify Catastrophic Beliefs
   Recognize limiting beliefs such as “I can’t handle this” or “I am not safe,” which often intensify panic.
4. Seek the Truth
   Ground yourself with affirmations like “I am capable of getting through this” or “This feeling is temporary.”
5. Willingness to Act in Alignment with Values
   Take steps based on your values, whether it’s grounding exercises, reaching out for support, or enjoying the peaceful aspects of Cody as a calming tool.
