## Resource

Your heart is racing, your head feels foggy, and you can't tell if this is the summer heat or if this is a panic attack starting. If you’ve been searching for answers about heat anxiety or wondering why rising temperatures make your panic symptoms worse, you are not imagining it. In this episode of Calming Anxiety , Martin—clinical hypnotherapist and former frontline paramedic—explains the biological overlap between heat waves and panic. Discover how extreme heat lowers your interoception (your brain's ability to accurately read body signals), causing your nervous system to misinterpret physical warmth as an imminent false alarm. Take 10 minutes to find a cool, quiet place, drop into a soothing 3-2-5 breathing practice, and learn how to hand your body facts instead of fear.
