How To Stop Panic
Attacks
Want to know how to stop panic attacks? You're
not alone. Millions of people suffer from panic attacks and are desperate to find a way to stop
them. I am going to recommend to you the one solution that cured my panic attacks. It is up to you
if you want to try it. If you are serious about ending your panic attacks permanently, then my
advise to you is to try Panic Away by Joe Barry. This program has
cured 40,000+ people from their panic attacks, including myself.
A temporary way to stop
panic attacks are through prescription drugs. These are nothing more than temporary band-aids that
will allow you to function properly without having a panic attack. If you are missing too much
school or work, or you have a fear of leaving your house (agoraphobia), then prescription drugs
will work to eliminate those symptoms and fears temporarily.
I mention drugs as only a
temporary solution because there are many side effects to these drugs, and long term effects can do
more damage than good. Also, drugs do not get to the root of the problem that causes panic attacks.
Other treatments such as therapy, or Joe Barry's Panic Away system, are alternative options which
you should definitely look into if you want a permanent way of stopping panic
attacks.
I'm going to take you through a
typical scenario in which might trigger one of your panic attacks:
You
are standing
in a supermarket line. I t’s been a long wait but there is only one customer to go before you make
it to the cashier. Suddenly, you feel a sensation. An unpleasant
feeling develops in your throat, your chest
tightens, and you now experience a sudden shortness of
breath, and all a sudden your heart skips a
beat.
A quick scan of the territory—You
ask yourself if it is threatening? There
are many unfriendly faces all around you. You start to experience slight dizziness, as well as
the annoying sensation of pins and needles. All of a
sudden you realize you are about to have a panic attack.
Remember what you have been
taught from your doctor. It is time now to apply these coping techniques.
Begin the deep breathing exercise your doctor told you about. Inhale through the nose, exhale
through the mouth.
They key here is to relax! While
breathing in, think “Relax,” and then breathe out. But it doesn’t seem to be helpin.In fact,
just focusing on breathing is making you feel more anxious.
Coping technique #
2:
Muscle relaxation.
Tense your shoulders, hold for 10 seconds, then release. Try it again. Still no
difference? The anxiety is getting worse and the very fact that you are out of coping techniques
makes your panic worsen.
Now, the adrenaline is really
pumping through your body, and your body is tingling with uncomfortable sensations, and now the
dreaded feeling of losing complete control takes over your emotions. You look around
and everyone around you is so calm, and has no idea the trauma you are going through at this
very moment.
The main
difference between someone who is cured of their panic
attacks and those who are not is really straightforward.
Those who are cured no longer fear panic
attacks.

The
trick to curing panic attacks is to want to have one. That sounds weird and
contradictory, but I will explain what I mean:
You know the saying that "what you
resist, persists." Well that saying applies perfectly to this situation. If you resist a
situation out of fear, the fear around that issue will persist. In order to stop resisting–you
have to move directly into the path of the anxiety, and by doing this, you will not allow the fear
to persist.
What this means is that if you
voluntarily try to have a panic attack, you cannot have one. I will guarantee you cannot
have a panic attack at this very moment if you tried. By saying that a panic attack is out of
your control, you are choosing to have a panic attack. Once you realize that you are fully in
control, and face the fear head on, I can guarantee that you will no longer have any panic
attacks.
