COURSE

Learning To Trust Your Body When Panic Appears

With Charlotte Cooper

This course is a gentle, in depth journey for anyone living with panic attacks, panic disorder, anxiety, or a nervous system that feels constantly on edge. If you experience sudden waves of fear, frightening physical sensations, or the feeling that your body turns against you, this course is here to meet you with understanding rather than force. Across nine guided sessions, you will learn what panic actually is, why it feels so intense in the body, and where it truly comes from. Together we gently unravel the mystery of panic, so it no longer feels frightening, unpredictable, or dangerous. You'll discover that panic is not a separate or mysterious state, but an umbrella name for a cluster of normal nervous system responses that have been learned through fear and memory. These responses are not dangerous or broken, just sensitised and a little out of sync. As you begin to understand what each sensation truly means, the nervous system starts to update itself. What was learned can gently be unlearned, and as understanding grows, the fear that once fuelled panic naturally begins to soften. This course is designed for long term healing, not quick fixes and rather than trying to stop panic through control or breathing alone, you will learn how to re regulate your nervous system by meeting panic with clarity, safety, and compassion. Step by step, you will learn how to stop mislabelling panic as danger, how to stay with sensations without fear, how to ground gently when panic appears, and how to rebuild trust with your body. You will also learn how fear becomes a learned habit in the nervous system, and how that habit can slowly and kindly be unlearned. Throughout the course, you are guided through nervous system understanding, grounding practices, soothing visualisations, and compassionate reflections that help your body remember how to feel safe again. There is no rushing here, no pressure and no exposure you are not ready for. Healing happens in small moments, and this course honours that. This course is created and guided by myself who has personally lived through panic attacks, anxiety, and recovery. Everything you are taught comes not only from my own clinical understanding, but from lived experience of what truly helps the nervous system heal. By the end of this course, you may still experience moments of fear, but you will no longer fear the fear itself. You will leave with a deep understanding of your body, a kinder relationship with panic, and the quiet confidence that when sensations arise, you know what they are and you know that you are safe. This is a course about safety, about patience and about long term healing.


Meet your Teacher

Charlotte spent nearly 20 years quietly battling her own mental illness, surviving in silence, holding herself together on the outside while unravelling inside. That lived reality became the foundation of her work. For over 14 years, she has supported others through anxiety, panic, depression, and emotional heaviness, blending the skills developed in her hypnotherapy practice with the deep, tender wisdom that only comes from having walked through the darkness herself. Her voice is shaped by experience rather than theory, honest, soft, and unafraid to tell the truth about what it feels like to fall apart and begin again. Charlotte guides people to meet the parts of themselves they once hid, to build safety from within, and to return to themselves with compassion instead of self-criticism. Her work speaks directly to the heart: gentle, real, and grounded in the belief that no one is beyond healing, only waiting to be met.
