Every generation had some disease they were fighting with. Panic attacks is the disease of the last generations which is a direct outcome from the increased level of anxiety. The thing is, a bigger level of anxiety gives a constant worry about the problems which creates chains in brain and unconditioned reflexes where all these worries start coming up automatically.
Our worries and fears come into two directions – thoughts and body reactions. Every feeling is basically a body reaction to our thought. For example laugh comes from the upper parts of a body as chest and neck. Frustration comes usually from back and loin. And fear comes from solar plexus and stomach.
In a panic attack negative thoughts start coming up into our brain either by “nightly cleanup” or just by a random memory flashback. Since that flashback is strong it results in very strong reactions in our body. This gives us a variety of feelings from tremor to body pains.
There is no way to “fix” the bad thoughts. The only way to stop the attack is to get rid of them. That simply means stop thinking about bad things and start distracting on something else. Like watching a movie or a podcast. Reading news or doing just something else.
Once the bad thoughts are over efforts should be made to avoid them coming again. For that there is only one strategy – keeping bad thoughts out, being confident and keeping a positive attitude. Eventually this will result in breaking of negative brain chains and overall vanishing of the panic reactions.
