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.

Are you desperately searching for remedies for panic attacks? Do you wish you knew the trick to coping with panic attacks? Does the idea of a panic attack make you want to panic? Does it seem like you’re nearly paralyzed with the fear that you will have a panic attack? Once you’ve had a panic attack, you worry that you might have another one at any second. The fear is that you’ll have another panic attack and that it could push you over the edge. The idea of another panic attack is so scary that many people alter their whole lives so that they don’t have to worry about having another one. Maybe you’ve looked all over for remedies for panic attacks and cures for anxiety and found nothing that helps you, but still you look, as you should.

If you suffer from panic attacks, the act of everyday living can become really, really scary to you. You might become afraid of driving, leaving the safe zone of your home or any situation that draws attention to you and your actions. By being constantly afraid of doing these things, you can develop a naturally high level of anxiety and this can lead to feelings of anxiety, making it more likely that you will have a panic attack.

You should know that there are cures for panic attacks. Panic attacks and anxiety can not only be remedied, but also can be eliminated by just following a few simple steps no matter how long you’ve had a problem with these feelings. This is not just from personal experience, it’s also from having helped thousands around the world with these same problems.

Think about this:

What separates a person who’s been cured of panic attacks and those who haven’t been is that the person who’s been cured of panic attacks is not afraid of them. Now, what if you were told that ending panic attacks has one simple trick, would you believe me? Well, it gets better. Consider that I told you that the trick was to want to have a panic attack. Would you think I was nuts? Probably. But, hear me out. By wanting to have a panic attack, you are immediately stopping the fearful anticipation of the event itself. Suddenly, the likelihood that you could suffer a panic attack right at this moment dwindles to nothing.

There is a saying that goes: what you resist persists. This is how you can look at your fears. By resisting a fearful situation, that situation will persist.

If the remedies for panic attacks are so simple, how do you stop resisting your fears?  By getting directly in the face of that which makes you anxious and stopping your fear from persisting because you get rid of it by confronting it. In other words, your fear of having a panic attack cannot grow if you are asking for a panic attack.   It just won’t happen because you are inviting it, instead of dreading it.

This way of thinking is know as cognitive behavioral therapy and its pretty powerful stuff.  If you want to learn more about how CBT can work visit my story at My Personal Anxiety Story.  We’ll talk more specifically about this coping technique in my next post. Until then, take care
