Panic attack sufferers know far too well just how horrible the experience can be.
For those of us with this disorder, learning how to deal with panic attacks can be difficult since there's so much information on the subject.
Recently I've come across a unique perspective on why people get these attacks, and how you can use this information to overcome them.
Perhaps the most common treatment for panic attacks is prescribed medication.
These come in a variety of types, SSRI's, beta blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, just to name a few.
Although these have all shown an effectiveness in treating panic, what they all have in common is a rather long list of side-effects.
As well, most coping techniques were designed in the late 70's, and are incredibly out of date.
You should also take into account that these forms of treatment really only mask the problem, without ever actually solving them.
So, figuring out how to deal with panic attacks can be a challenge, especially since every popular method seems to not necessarily work for all people.
The one simple idea I mention in the topic is something that I discovered recently that's very unique to the way most methods are used for treating panic attacks.
You see, the very definition of panic disorder is the fear of having an attack.
Because of this, we get locked in a loop of anxiety.
The initial attack, fear of the next one, until we eventually have the next one.
Panic feeds off of fear.
It's the fuel that keeps it coming time and again.
We must learn how to cut the fuel, the fear, in order to break free of the cycle.
Learning how to deal with panic attacks doesn't need to be as difficult as it's made out to be.
You can overcome them by using this concept.
Learn why you fear them, overcome the fear, and live a panic free life.
