No Time to Panic: How I Curbed My Anxiety and Conquered a Lifetime of Panic Attacks

Description:

About this item:

By ABC News's chief national correspondent, an unflinching look at panic attacks by a reporter whose career was nearly derailed by them, offering readers a guide to making a truce with their warring minds

"Brave, reassuring, and practical...A balm for anyone who has ever suffered panic attacks and who longs to be released from their grip." --Dr. Nicole LePera, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Do the Work

Matt Gutman can tell you the precise moment when his life was upended. Reporting live on a huge story in January 2020, he found himself in the throes of an on-air panic attack--and not for the first time. The truth is that Gutman had been enduring panic attacks in secret for twenty years: soul-bruising episodes that left his vision constricted, his body damp, his nerves shot. Despite the challenges, he had carved out a formidable career, reporting from war zones and natural disasters before millions of viewers on Good Morning America, World News Tonight, and 20/20. His nerves typically "punched through" to TV audiences, making his appearances kinetic and often unforgettable.

But his January 2020 broadcast was unusual for all the wrong reasons. Mid-panic, Gutman misstated the facts of a story, a blunder that led to a monthlong suspension, not to mention public shame and personal regret.

It was a reckoning. Gutman's panic attacks had become too much for him to bear in secret. He needed help.

So begins a personal journey into the science and treatment of panic attacks. Gutman would talk to the world's foremost scholars on panic and anxiety, who showed him that his mind wasn't broken; it's our perception of panic that needs recalibration. He would consult therapists and shamans, trying everything from group treatment and cognitive behavioral therapy to ayahuasca and psilocybin. And he would take a hard look at the trauma reverberating inside him--from his childhood, but also from his years as a conflict reporter.

Unsparing, perceptive, and often funny, this is the story of a panic sufferer who took on the monster within. Filled with wisdom and actionable insights, it's at once an inspirational journey and a road map--if not toward a singular cure, then to something even more worthy: peace of mind.

An absolute must-read for anyone affected by panic attacks and anxiety or their loved ones

J.D. · 21 September 2023

An incredible read, I highly recommend it! I've had panic attacks since I was a young girl, and this book is SO relatable and helpful. Matt masterfully weaves science and research (in an approachable way with fun humor) with his own personal story. On a desperate quest to find the best treatment for his panic disorder and "well of grief," he experiments with all types of treatment modalities—from traditional therapy and medication to ayahuasca and psychedelics. His bravery and vulnerability is inspiring, willing to put himself in uncomfortable situations to discover what would help (or what wouldn't). His harrowing journey toward healing is fraught with challenges including self-doubt and shame, but also filled with hope and self-acceptance. Thank you Matt, for writing this book and speaking out honestly and openly about your struggle with panic disorder. It helps normalize mental health and assures others they are not alone.

My daughter suffers from panic attacks, which is why I was drawn to this book. Additionally, I have always respected Matt Gutman as a journalist. His reports on ABC are interesting, informative and unbiased.I feel I understand my daughter’s condition far better than I have in the past as a result of reading No Time To Panic. Thank you Mr. Gutman for your honest, candid account of your journey dealing with panic attacks.I highly recommend this book if you are interested in understanding the plight of anyone living with the unpredictability of panic attacks. No Time To Panic is graphic and unsettling in large part, but not gratuitous. No sugar coating here. Just raw honesty and deeply personal.

A good read
