Here are some tips for panic attacks - both how to cope during an actual attack and also how to prevent them happening again in future.

Tell Yourself To “Stop”

During a panic attack, your anxieties are skyrocketing and causing your levels of adrenalin to soar and make the problem worse.

Tell yourself to “stop” when you feel it happening. Actually say it out loud. When we say things out loud then we actually start to believe them. It doesn’t matter if anyone is looking because this could save you a lot of stress and trouble.

Believe in yourself - it is in your destiny to control your panic attack - tell the attack to “STOP”.

Coping Statements

Next you should use some coping statements. Again, say these out loud. Even if you mutter them under your breath then this is enough.

What you are going to do is reassure yourself with statements such as “there is nothing to fear, a panic attack has never killed anyone” and “I can handle this” and “I will let my body do its thing and this feeling will pass”.

Acceleration Of Fear And Anxieties

A panic attack cannot exist without fear. You might think that panic attacks produce fear but actually it is the other way around - it is the fear which allows the panic attack to exist in the first place.

During a panic attack, your irrational fears and your body work together to produce the whole range of systems and paralyse you with fear.

The key to stopping panic attacks forever is to stop the fear very early on, before the panic attack can become established.

Behavioral Therapy

The medical profession has found that behavioral therapy is the best treatment for anyone suffering from panic attacks.

This type of therapy allows you to change your mode of thinking so that when you first feel fear, it does not escalate and cause your body to produce more adrenaline, sweat more, get a higher heart rate and all the other symptoms.

Behavioral therapy goes much further than coping statements and will basically cure you of your fear and anxiety and hence also of your panic attacks.
