There is a lot of advice on how to stop panic attacks naturally; e.g. deep breathing, no caffeine or nicotine, a good night's sleep, regular exercise, etc. But, although they all have a part to play, they don't address the critical element in how to stop panic attacks naturally, which is your 'fear' of another attack. You will learn here why you need to eliminate your fear in order to prevent further attacks.
Why is your fear of another attack so important in stopping panic attacks (anxiety attacks)?
Someone who suffers anxiety attacks will also have higher general anxiety levels than the average person. When the average person is faced with a normal, everyday stressful situation, they are able to deal with it. But when someone with higher-than-normal levels of anxiety is faced with such a stressful event, that stress can push their already heightened anxiety levels over the top, resulting in an anxiety attack.
Now the attack symptoms are just so devastating that no one who has ever had one wants a repeat performance. So they carry around this -- sometimes unconscious -- fear that they might have another attack at anytime. This adds to their already higher-than-normal anxiety so that the next stressor that occurs triggers another panic attack. This is a vicious anxiety cycle, and, your fear is the key element.
How can I break out of this vicious cycle of anxiety?
Because the cycle can be described like this... anxiety >> attack >> fear >> increased anxiety >> attack >> fear >> increased anxiety >> etc., you can see that by eliminating your fear you 'break' the anxiety cycle. When you do this, you stop panic attacks and, because you aren't adding to your general anxiety anymore, you can get on with curing your general anxiety.
Can drug-based treatment break the anxiety cycle?
Not really, because these drugs -- e.g. tranquilizers, antidepressants, beta blockers, etc. -- are concerned with controlling and managing your 'mood' in the main. Only you can face your fear of panic attacks head-on and remove it.
How can I eliminate my fear and stop panic attacks naturally then?
The key is to confront your fear and gain control. Don't let your fear determine the outcome. There are ways to do this, and they might take some practice, but, there are techniques you can use to help you, one of which is the 'ONE MOVE' technique that is highlighted below.
