How to deal with panic attacks?
ďƒ‘
EXPOSURE - The main reason why people are afraid of the next panic attack is that the physical symptoms are terrifying. If we avoid those circumstances, we may experience temporary relief from the uncomfortable symptoms but we never give ourselves the chance to see that it can be completely overcome, that it is unpleasant but temporary.
SELF SOOTHE– Say these words or write it somewhere where you can read them example your phone- – I can be in control, these symptoms are uncomfortable but It will go away very soon. I won’t die, I will not collapse.

THERAPY– If the panic disorder starts affecting daily life functioning then therapy is recommended to overcome the catastrophic thoughts regarding panic attack symptoms. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT has been proven to be effective in teaching different ways of thinking, behaving, and reacting to the feelings that come on with a panic attack.
