Overcome Panic Attacks with The Linden Method
Panic attacks are based on reactions to things in your environment, thought forms, fears, and reactions to body events like erratic breathing and heart rate. The best way to avoid a panic attack is to prepare yourself to handle one on the onset. A panic attack is not one of those things that you can’t stop, even if your in the middle of one. Of course it is much simpler to avoid a panic attack than to stop one when your in the middle of one, but nothing is impossible.
A panic attack can hit at any time but this doesn’t mean you cannot figure out what is triggering it. The key to finding a way to overcome panic attacks is to discover what is causing it. We are habitual creatures and this is both an issue and solution to your panic attacks themselves. When we get an idea in our head and link it to a fear we have, a panic attack can ensue. What makes a panic attack get more severe is how we react to what’s happening.
When a panic attack begans to show signs we know that something triggered it. It may be something subconscious that we don’t realize on the surface such as a change in temperature or even a thought that causes our heart to start racing. For many suffering from panic attacks a misunderstanding of a racing heart rate can trigger an attack. The heart may race for a variety of reasons such as a memory of an event as we tell a story. We may not make the connection to the emotion that sets the heart rate going and instead of thinking it through we just feel the heart racing and “panic” unnecessarily.
A major step to overcome panic attacks, either before they happen or in the middle of it, is to not react, but to stop and think about it first. You have to train yourself to not think negatively but to think from a third person angle when it comes to things like heart rate, body temperature and so forth. Logically thinking about it stops the symptoms from getting worse and you will come to the real reason your heart started racing, and this will not set off a panic attack.
There are courses, like The Linden Method, that will show you how to re-frame your mindset and reactions around things like this (and many more) so when you find yourself entering a panic attack, or something you assume is one, you won’t overreact and push yourself over the edge. Having a disciplined outlook will take you a long way towards healing and maybe even removing panic attacks all together!
