Anxiety attacks / panic attacks
Panic attacks usually occur
after the symptoms of stress have been ignored. This seems to happen all by
itself but it is actually built up by thoughts beforehand. After the first
panic attack occurs, the worry begins where the person dreads it happening
again. The thought of it happening again is replayed over and over until it
becomes a conditioned feeling of dread whenever the thought is thought. The
more that it’s thought, the more conditioned it becomes, so that it is
inevitable that the negative scenario will occur. When it obviously does
occur, and it will occur because you have programmed it to do so in your
mind, you then feel validated and say “I knew it would happen”.
The fact that it happens again and again is due to the
re-thinking of old memories of previous panic attacks and then imagining
future scenarios of seeing yourself in some kind of negative imagined
scenario. Imagining yourself acting in some ridiculously negative way, such
as totally freaking out and making a fool of yourself in the most stupid
ways imaginable. This might seem ludicrous but this is what people do to
themselves in their minds. Most people do not even realise that they are
doing it to themselves, though. The more you do it, the worse you feel.
Whenever we get something like a panic attack it is a signal from your body,
which is telling you that something is wrong with the way you are living.
These signals that we receive — whether it is a headache or palpitation —
should not be ignored because if we do, they will become worse.
Panic attacks or anxiety attacks which
are the same thing are seriously disturbing to the
sufferer with an even greater heightened anxiety level after each attack.
The sufferer dreads the next one and then avoids situations that they
believe another one might occur. Hot flushes and shakes are the most common
symptoms of such a condition where the person can become faint or believe
they might pass out. Plenty of mental and physical relaxation is the key to
solving this problem with thought re-training to finish it off. The future behaviour reversal exercise contained in The Principles of Life book will
help to create the necessary mindset for a new behaviour strategy to begin
in place of the old one.
If you have or are suffering from panic attacks do not
despair there is help. On a personal level if it is convenient you can also
come to see me personally. Panic attacks are usually tricky and require a
minimum of three sessions for successful resolution with further reinforcing
of the therapy on the clients part. If seeing me personally is not possible
or if money is an issue a full and detailed recovery plan is given in the
principles of life book where the thought re-training technique is explained
as well as some more mental relaxation exercises to bring about more
emotional peace.
Contained inside the book are the strategies for
overcoming the panic attacks and leaning to neutralize the real cause. Do
not be put off by the simplicity of reading a book to help you as many
people have found it very effective for them with a cessation of anxiety
after using the many exercises contained.

I am a firm believer in the power of music in its
ability to help in the reduction of anxiety attacks. I have found that certain types
of music have a definite effect on our mood and our emotions. Over the years
I have tried and tested many audio CD’s. Listed
HERE are the ones I have found
the most beneficial to myself and my clients in helping to reduce anxiety
and panic attacks.
