Dealing with Panic Attacks By: Heather Step
The aim of this book is to empower, you, the reader, to have more choices
available to you, when dealing with a panic attack.
I think that panic attacks, like many problems in life, deserve many
approaches. The more armor you have to face a situation the better. Then
you can truly see what works for you.
I find Emotional Freedom Techniques very effective because they combine
both your body (energy) with your mind (positive, self-accepting affirmations).
The Cognitive therapy targets your thinking patterns, and that is also
important.
Relaxation obviously plays an important role. Since breathing is intimately
involved in a panic attack, you will be advised to think about ways you can
improve this.
Since you are the person sitting with your fear, you can try as many
approaches as you like. See what works.
