People who have experienced panic attacks often go around with a grave sense of unease that at any moment, they will experience a major panic attack. It's a fear of the ultimate panic attack that would finally push them over the edge. This leads people to make changes to their behavior in order not to do anything that might trigger a panic episode.
When people feel this way, simple daily tasks can become big challenges. Some people start to fear driving their car in traffic. Others fear leaving their safe zone or simply any situation where they have responsibilities to perform.This state of apprehension keeps a person's anxiety level high, leading to feelings of general anxiety.
If you are such a person I hope to put your mind at rest. Panic attacks as well as general anxiety
(even when not accompanied by panic disorder) can be eliminated in simple steps regardless of how long the anxiety has been a problem.
What if I told you the trick to ending panic attacks is to want to have one!That sounds strange but let me explain. A simple trick to ending panic attacks is wanting to have one because the wanting causes an immediate diffusion of the anticipatory fear.
Can you have a panic attack in this very second? I doubt it!
You know the saying "what you resist persists." Well that saying applies perfectly to fear. If you resist a situation out of fear, the fear around that issue will persist.How do you stop resisting? You move directly into the path of the anxiety; by doing so it cannot persist because you process the fear out through your emotions. In essence what that means is that if you voluntarily seek out a panic attack you won't have one.
