The first point to find effective panic attacks treatment you need to accept that you are the source of the attack. More precisely, your brain is the source of the attack. This is most certainly contrary to your what you desire and even if you try to ward off the attack it still comes and you end up experiencing a loss of control.
Now here is a point to contemplate and defies logic. How could you possibly cause something that you do not desire or wish for? It’s a bit like stepping out onto a busy road without looking because you do not want to get run over by a car, bus, or truck.
The important issue is that ever since you experienced your first panic attack you most likely did not want to experience another one. In fact, you most likely feared having another attack and going through the embarrassment caused again. An interesting point is that fear is the basis of anxiety attacks, more precisely it is the fear of fear that perpetuates these attacks. The more fearful you have of having an attack the more fearful you become. It becomes a never-ending cycle.
This explains why you may have had a difficult time trying to put an end to the thought processes that occur when you are having a panic attack. The anxiety you are experiencing is triggering more anxiety, making you more anxious. You begin to start fighting the anxiety because you fear having another attack. You start to worry about the sensations you are experiencing which makes the anxiety worse and you feel like you are losing control.
As stated earlier there is no logical sense to panic attacks. On an intellectual level you realise that you are not in any danger and that you are over-reacting. However you cannot stop the escalating process from happening. You may find that you cannot talk yourself into regaining control. Sometimes just knowing what is happening to you and not being able to stop it makes you feel worse. The big question is why does this keep happening?
The secret to putting an end to panic attacks is to stop fighting the attack and act in reverse by welcoming the attack. This may seem to be paradoxical however surprisingly this method works! The question is, how can you be afraid of something that you welcome into your life? Panic attacks are merely a constellation of unwanted symptoms that will not cause you to die. At their worst they may cause you embarrassment and stop you from doing things that you want to do or enjoy. So lets say “bring it on, I’ve been through this before and I just want it all to stop after thirty seconds or so “.
