Dealing with Panic Attacks Successfully and
For Good!
When it comes to dealing with panic
attacks, practice does make perfect! Due to their nature, panic
attacks come on suddenly and without any apparent cause. It is nigh on impossible to predict when an attack
will occur however, once you have experienced your first one you need to take control and learn exactly how to
deal with panic attacks in the future.
Whilst the symptoms are
frightening and very unnerving they are in fact completely harmless in themselves. You need to impress on
your subconscious that they are just a short term event that you can get through with a little help from this
article.

At the first sign of a panic attack, stop what you are doing and take
a deep breath, exhale slowly. Now don’t think about the attack, don’t allow the dozens of fearful thoughts
racing through your head unnerve you.
Focus on what you were doing. Keep focused and try to continue with
it. Tell yourself it is okay, the panic attack will subside in a moment. If you give in to the fear and the
urgent need to escape you will just add to the panic and more adrenaline will be pumped into your bloodstream
heightening your symptoms and prolonging them.
A typical panic attack will be at its height within ten minutes and
will start to subside. If you get overly anxious you will just prolong the attack. So, calmness is
the key to cutting short the anxiety panic attack.
It isn’t easy to remain calm during a panic attack but with practice
you will find it gets easier. The trick is to divert your mind away from your thoughts and feelings. Try to
concentrate on something and keep your feet firmly on the ground. Stay in the here and now, don’t attempt to
give in to the feelings of escaping or running away, and forget the feelings of failure or inadequacies you
may be experiencing. These can be dealt with later when you are not in the midst of an
attack.
Allow the feelings that are racing through your mind and body to wash
over you like the surf in the ocean. They are superficial and just watch them roll away from you on the tide,
going out to sea. Know that the panic is subsiding and you have come through it with flying
colors.
Visualization is an amazing tool to use when dealing with panic
attacks. What we focus on our body reacts to. If we focus on the panic it will get worse as our body knows
that it is a bad thing and works hard to get you away from it, this is the urgent need to escape you
felt.
But, when you focus on something like the waves in the ocean washing
away your fears and panic, as if by magic your body instantly starts to calm down, the adrenal glands absorb
the adrenaline it pumped into the bloodstream when it feared an attack. Everything returns to normal again,
your heart rate, your breathing and your inner calm.
Practice visualization and mediation every day and it will give you
an excellent tool to use when and if you have another panic attack.
An important point I want to make here is do not avoid situations and
places where your panic attack happened.
We naturally associate the place or event where our first panic
attack occurred as being the cause of the attack. This is not the case.
We naturally try to avoid these situations and this is the beginning
of another issue, a phobia such as social phobia or agoraphobia, the fear of open places. Know in your heart
that the place you experienced your panic attack had nothing whatsoever to do with the
attack! Nada, el zip.. nothing at all to do with it.
The more you try to avoid such situations the more
power you give to the anxiety attacks and the more likely they are to
recur.
Instead face up to these situations and places and be ready to deal
with the panic attack. Goad it, try to bring one on. It isn’t possible to do that, as panic attacks are
irrational and cannot happen on demand. However, by facing up to it and taking a positive stand against this
unknown fear you are taking important strides in successfully dealing with your panic
attacks.
