If you are reading this there’s a good chance that you have just experienced your first panic attack, or you’re so fed up of them and the way they affect your life you want rid of them for good.

No one knows the real reason why some are more prone to these attacks than others, or what indeed is the primary cause of them starting in the first place. It is believed that they could be linked to experiencing a traumatic event in your life or maybe brought about by other nervous conditions like agoraphobia or certain types of depression.

They are also linked in some cases to heavy drinking and drug abuse.

Whatever the reason, if you do suffer from Panic Attacks they can certainly make life miserable if you can’t get them under control, and often the stress and worry they bring can in turn cause more attacks so its a vicious circle.

A typical panic attack usually lasts around ten minutes, although some have been known to go on much longer. You may feel clammy and your throat feels constricted and tight, as if you can’t breathe, your heart starts pounding and you may experience lightheaded or dizzy feelings accompanied by nausea. It is not life threatening although if you not aware of what it is, it can certainly feel that way, and some people may think they are experiencing a heart attack or worse.

For many people a panic attack is a one off isolated incident that may never happen again, but for those who suffer regular occurrence what can be done to help?

Often those who suffer from Anxiety episodes feel embarrassed by them and are reluctant to discuss how they feel with others thinking that its something to be ashamed of in case people consider them weak or think that they are going crazy, but, I can assure you that’s not the case at all, you would be surprised at how common a problem it is.

A visit to your doctor will identify the problem. He will be able to discuss the various options available to you and establish if you need medication, to treat the condition, and it can certainly help to alleviate symptoms if you are suffering prolonged acute episodes, and help to get them under control as a short term measure.

However prescription drugs are rarely a long term solution, and most cases are treated with cognitive behavioral therapy or self help courses, both these are recommended courses of action, which get to the root of why the panic attacks are taking place and change the thought process of how we deal with them. They may also involve breathing exercises and other coping techniques that can be used during an attack to get you through it, without becoming too distressed.

Suffering with panic attacks can be a living hell. I know because I’ve been there.

I used to walk into to supermarket and feel the fear rising inside me with such force that I would sometimes turn tail and run home again.

I’m happy to say that today things are going allot better for me and I can shop till I drop with no fear or panic all day.

What I want to outline for you below are some of the treatment options that I have tried over the years that are available to you today.

1) The medical option

I know allot of people are reluctant to take anti-depressants when they are suffering with anxiety and I was the same myself. I was afraid of side effects and did not want to be dependent on drugs to feel emotionally balanced in my life. Today I am not on any medication but I realise that they the antidepressants I took were able to take the edge off the anxiety that I was feeling and help me get through the day when things were bad for me.

I think they can be useful to help to calm yourself while you find the help that you need.

2) The natural option

There are a whole variety of herbs and supplements on the market that can help with anxiety. I have taken a few of them in my time, but again found that they only took the edge off what I was feeling in moment and were good for me short term. It’s important to check with your doctor before taking any herbal supplement if you’re on medication at the moment because of possible interactions. It’s also worth considering the homeopathic option as well. Homeopathy can treat the cause of your anxiety and panic attacks and help you heal their causes.

3) Energy psychology

I personally think that energy psychology is the most important developments in psychology in the last century. You might have heard of eft or tat on the internet or elsewhere. What they have in common is that they can move the stuck energy that can remain inside you after you have suffered some kind of trauma in your life. A trauma or bad experience could be the reason behind your panic attacks or anxiety today.

Anxiety is such a common experience that many of us consider it part of the standard human condition. This is fully untrue! Nervousness is basically an unusual and needless state that may be permanently removed from one’s life for keeps. To grasp why and how this is possible continue reading. To explain what nervousness represents I’m going to use a metaphor. Consider a steam cooker which has water in it. As the heat is turned up and the water starts to boil the pressure within the cooker will usually go up. The water vapor will put some leverage on the walls of the cooker in a scheme to get out. It is this pressure confirm that I equate with the uneasiness state i.e. An internal emotional pressure. Permit me to explain.

Within each of us there’s a warehouse of upsetting or negative feelings that live in what many call the comatose mind or body. Those feelings must be kept in hand i.e. They have got to be kept unconscious because if they were to impinge or intrude on one’s conscious awareness during one’s day they might immediately distract one and weaken their abilities to remain targeted on what they are meant to be doing. Those negative feelings are however generated by the numerous negative memories of one’s earlier life experience, i.e. Also called one’s life history, that are stockpiled in the comatose mind or body. As one lives out their life the accumulative set of memories grows so exerting a bigger and larger pressure from inside. The energy needed to keep back this ever increasing pressure continuously increases. What you may not get is this energy has to come from the stores of what’s called your Life Force Energy also known as LFE. LFE is your vital life energy, or the energy of life. It’s what supports your intelligence’s and body’s perfect structure and functionality. So as more of your life energy is re-routed to keeping negative feelings from exploding and destabilizing you they finish up destabilizing you anyhow because they cumulatively draw down your energy stores. Sadly this is like dying!

After all that is what occurs when one is dying their life energy is drained from their bodies. There’s now a technique to break this outwardly uninterruptible process and that’s by erasing or removing the negative memories from the unconscious mind absolutely and permanently so the pressure they exert ceases. As you can imagine as this occurs it is feasible to accumulative reclaim all the energy that was being siphoned off to keep the negative feelings these memories were sucking out of you. A new training process that was developed over ten years back can swiftly and simply erase negative memories. In doing so it will help you reclaim massive amounts of imperative life energy which equates to feeling stronger, more tranquil, free, carefree, confident, empowered, lighter, calmer, more clear, more centered, joyous, having bigger self worth and self worth and lots more.
