Wanna know the secret about remedies for panic attacks?
I’ll bet that no matter how hard you try to have a panic attack right now, you won’t be able to. You’re probably thinking that this is one of the most ridiculous remedies for a panic attack that you’ve heard and sure, it sounds scary to call a panic attack to you, but give it a go and see what happens.
By deciding to invite a panic attack to you, you are controlling your fear of the panic. You are saying that you are not afraid of it and by doing that, you are eliminating the anxiety that comes with it.
No anxiety, no panic attacks.
If you want help for panic attacks and cures for anxiety this is a crucial concept to understand. Consider this: if you see your anxiety as if you were standing on a cliff, then a panic attack would be a force pushing you closer to the cliff’s edge. A panic attack can push you closer to falling off the cliff when you try to cope with it by talking yourself out of having a panic attack.
But, if you turn around and face your fear (the panic attack) and dare it to push at you, you are able to firmly stand your ground on the cliff’s edge, but never being at risk of falling over. When you invite a panic attack to come to you, you are standing your ground and facing your fear.
Another way you could look at your cliff is to consider that by facing your fear of the panic attack, you are jumping off the cliff, with no fear as to what will happen to you, because nothing will happen.
It’s the same thing with inviting a panic attack: you know it will not happen. You are telling all your anxieties that nothing can happen to you from your fears and that nothing bad will happen to you by facing your fears.
Panic attacks will not harm you. This is not just what you tell yourself, this is a medical fact. You cannot die from a panic attack, no matter what your body may be telling you. You may not feel good during a panic attack, but you will not be hurt. So coping with panic attacks that scares you so much becomes nothing more than a mild nuisance that will quickly pass and leave you whole and unhurt.
Other than being panicked, there was nothing wrong with you and that can help you to deal with the fear of having a panic attack.
So today, before you step out of the house, you go ahead and invite yourself to have a panic attack, knowing full well that even if one were to come, you would escape healthy and unharmed.
Physically, you will suffer no adverse effects from your panic attack and you can feel confident that it cannot hurt you. It’s like the dark. Shadows are just shadows, so go ahead, open your eyes. There is nothing to fear anymore.
