@drmaxocd: That strange, dreamlike, disconnected feeling during anxiety or panic can be deeply unsettling especially when your attention becomes locked onto it.

Learning a different response to those sensations can be an important part of panic treatment. I’m Dr. Max Maisel, a clinical psychologist specializing in OCD and anxiety.
