Скачать или смотреть Taking Back Control: Coming Back to Here and Now in Apeirophobia Recovery

Apeirophobia can feel like an upward-moving surge of terror—a "dreamscape" that pulls you away from reality. In this video, I share how grounding and orienting can help you switch tracks from panic back to the vivid, safe reality of the here and now.

I'm a psychotherapist who lived with apeirophobia from childhood into my late twenties. I know how painful and isolating the fear of infinity can be, but I also know it is possible to heal.

In this session, we discuss the "autopilot" of the mind and why you must give yourself active permission to come back to the present. We explore the physical sensations of an attack and how practicing specific grounding skills builds new pathways in the brain.
