How to stop panic attacks: The point of origin

Hi, I’m Alex and I decided to create this blog after being forced to deal with panic attacks… I desperately wanted to know how to stop panic attacks so I started researching and testing any tricks and techniques I could find. In the end I got over them and therefore consider myself very lucky.

First things first, I recommend reading my articles, starting with “How to stop panic attacks: The basics” which you’ll find on the bottom of this page, then How to stop panic attacks through boosting your confidence! and end with 5 Quick Tips . More to come soon! These articles (and future articles) may provide you with a different perspective on how to tackle this problem and hopefully teach you some new techniques on how to stop panic attacks.

How To Stop Panic Attacks: effective solutions

I’ve also been researching a lot of books and courses online to see which one is the best to do, and time and time again I stumble across “Panic Away”. This site, this technique, this strategy on how to stop panic attacks is hands down the best and most effective one on the planet. I have no idea how they came up with it but it actually works!

Basically you’ve got this guy, Barry McDonagh, who also suffered from frequent panic attacks and GAD and developed a completely natural technique on how to stop panic attacks and reduce your general anxiety super fast. It’s also known as the 21-7 technique and has been featured on TV and talk shows across America (with reason).

It has nothing to do with deep breathing, positive affirmations or hypnosis. You can apply it anywhere, anytime.

It teaches you how to neutralize the origin point of panic attacks, it teaches you how to eliminate the fear of having a panic attack. This the core of the technique, it’s the anticipation of having a panic attack that actually causes one. So once you eliminate that fear you’ll never have one again! It’s genius!

I can go on and on about it so I’ll just give you the link to his site… grab a cup of coffee, read through it and see if it’s something you’re willing to try. I can only show you the door (cheezy I know, but it really fits here ).

“I have suffered with panic attacks for 15 years and all the counseling, medication and books I have purchased within the 15 years just masked the fear, never eliminated it for good. Who would have know the “one move” eliminates the panic attacks.” – Laura

“I can’t remember ever feeling so wonderful. I feel freedom. No doctor, treatment, book or medication has done what your course has done for me. Thank you thank you thank you.” – Claudia

Personally the scariest bit of any panic attack is the beginning, the start, those thoughts creeping in and trying to take over, fighting over control and suppressing any soothing thoughts that are left! It’s the fear of having a panic attack that is actually the catalyst… What follows is a constant struggle trying not to feint or openly freak out, keeping your exterior as calm as possible so nobody notices what’s going on…

 

 

So I decided to create this blog on how to stop panic attacks where I can provide you with possible solutions and techniques… Hopefully someone will learn something here and leave knowing they are heading to a more peaceful life, even if it’s only slightly better!

How to stop panic attacks: The basics

Depending on how strong your mind is and the severity of the attack, you can get rid of panic attacks in less than 3 minutes. This is the time which is needed to make the body relax and dissipate all the angst and anxiety. The next technique is the one most people use (or try to). This will not work on everybody though.

Step 1: Cut off the pain and the agony
First of all you need to stop thinking and clear your mind. If you’ve ever tried this you’ll know that this is much much harder than it seems. I personally always visualize putting all those negative thoughts in a steel box, throw a chain around it, lock and throw it into the sun, then I visualize all those negative thoughts being absorbed by the sun who in return converts the thoughts back into pure energy… might sound far out there but it works for me

Step 2: Close your eyes and relax
Now that you are absolutely far away from the negative thoughts, you can now try to relax. Give your body a sense of peace. Sometimes just the closing of your eyes can switch the whole attack off right then and there!
Shut down your brain for a while and make yourself isolated from the outer world and you will realize that the panic attack has begun losing its effect gradually.

Step 3: Start controlling your breathing
Now, the next step you need to take to control the panic attack is to try controlling your breathing. This step is very effective as it lowers down your blood pressure and heart rate and helps you to relax. Try to take deep breaths which last for about 7-8 seconds. Also, try to breathe in as much air as possible and breathe from the bottom of your chest. As you will repeat this process you will feel the effect of the panic attack ebb away gradually.

Step 4: Think positive
Negative thoughts are the arch enemies of your mind. Such thoughts only work as an aid for panic attacks (I know this sounds logical and you might think… duh, but just stating it can act as a subconscious confirmation). So try to fill your mind with only positive thoughts (try to think of recent compliments you got or happy childhood events).

This was the basic technique on how to stop panic attacks, if you’re one of the many unlucky ones with who this technique does not work… don’t worry. There are tons of methods out there to help you deal with your panic attacks. As you might have read earlier on this page I definitely recommend Panic Away, their technique actually focuses on eliminating the fear of having a panic attack… which is the cause for them anyway… it’s extremely effective!
