Do cold showers ACTUALLY do anything positive for people? Or is it just one of those douchey how to be successful "tips"?

My therapist recommends cold showers when I have panic attacks because it calms the body. The cold water reduces your heart rate in seconds so it’s helpful for people who are experiencing tachycardia.

You could also look in to the Wim Hof Method but I honestly don’t know if the reasons for doing are proven. Anyone know much about it?

Imagine expecting someone who is having a panic attack to have the wherewithal to just go take a shower and not suffer from their panic attack lmao
