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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was a reckoning. Gutman’s panic attacks had become too much for him to bear in secret. He needed help.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnsparing, 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.","brand":"Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42822536364112,"sku":"9780593468425B","price":10.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780593468425-l.jpg?v=1785888407","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/no-time-to-panic-how-i-curbed-my-anxiety-and-conquered-a-lif-9780593468425b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
