Panic attacks are no fun as anyone who has ever suffered one of these can attest. However, panic attacks can occur in the context of psychological disorders such as anxiety disorders (e.g. Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia), depressive disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders and also in some medical conditions.
While virtually anything can trigger anxiety, it's worrying about our anxiety that causes a panic attack. Kathy felt reassured that she wasn't 'crazy'; that, in their place, panic attacks are normal, even useful. Remind the person that panic attacks always end.
Purposeful, regular breathing can therefore work to reset the fight or flight response and prevent the onset of panic and the unpleasant physical symptoms associated with anxiety. Usually, the panic-inducing situation is one in which you feel endangered and unable to escape, triggering the body's fight-or-flight response.
Transpersonal Regression Therapist and a Mental Health and Wellness Expert, Dr Gaurav Deka says that all form of anxiety, fear or panic emerges from the fact that the person is unable to be present at the moment and keep worrying about the future. Overcoming panic attacks begins with working with, not against, my panic and anxiety symptoms.
A panic attack comes on suddenly, bringing with it short-lived disabling anxiety, fear or discomfort. This can help you come back to your body and control your breathing. But, we still need a way to handle situation-induced panic attacks (like I did with my agoraphobia - the fear of public places) or more importantly, techniques to stop panic attacks as they are occurring.
Cognitive behavioral therapy and graded exposure therapy are the two effective anxiety and panic attacks treatment techniques. For example, if the person had panic attacks in crowds of people, then they would be asked to gradually expose themselves to larger groups of people whilst maintaining as rational a mind-set as possible.
