I had panic attacks on a regular basis for six years! I wish I had known then how easy it is to cure panic attacks once you know how.
A little background is needed here.
Panic and anxiety are very much the same. Not exactly, however, and they definitely vary in intensity.
Anxiety is a condition of apprehension caused by being afraid of a threat, imagined or real.
It is one of our most common emotions. It seems that everybody goes through it at different levels, over different things, and at different times in their life.
That’s anxiety. It’s fear. That’s pretty straightforward.
This whole thing is wrapped up in fear. It’s about fear and it’s caused by fear.
And fear is the “key” to this problem. To cure panic attacks it is necessary to get rid of the fear of the attacks returning.
It’s easy to learn not to fear panic attacks. I’ll bet you are glad to hear that.
Toward the end of my six year sojourn through the dark valley of anxiety and panic attacks I came up with a method that enabled me to shed my fear of the attacks.
I’ll never forget that day. What I did amounted to a subtle “shift” in my thinking in regards to panic attacks.
It kind of went this way (it’s been 30 years). I realized that I had been suffering through these attacks now for six years! Six long years.
I also recognized the fact that, although I had gone through hundreds of these attacks, I hadn’t been harmed, at least not physically, that I could see.
When I combined that fact with the regret that so much time and energy had been wasted, the net result, for me, intellectually, and in my gut, was that my fear of the attacks was replaced with anger.
Right then and there, in the absence of fear of these attacks I could feel their pull on me release and I knew they would never be back. That was thirty years ago and they have not returned.
I’m NOT recommending that you have to do it this way. The way I did it was created for me, by myself, through my experiences, over a six year period, and, I feel like I got lucky.
Still, I learned one thing I will never forget, and that one thing is the solution.
Once again, if you want to know how to cure panic attacks, the solution is to get rid of the fear of those attacks.
All you have to do is know how to do and then just do it.
Fortunately there are programs available that will show you exactly how to do it for yourself.
You can have your life back.

Meditation is central to many spiritual traditions and has been shown to have many and varied health benefits. Yogi’s and monks spend hours a day meditating and gain incredible control of their mind and body. 
Too often we overlook this person as not being special enough or worthy enough to take notice of and celebrating. The truth is however, there is no more important person in your life. This person is the only one that has always been there in good times and in bad.
You’re obsessed. You’re obsessed with your work, your craft. You think about your art, your character, painting, sculpture, upcoming tour, or screenplay seemingly every waking minute of every day. Heck, you even dream about it!
Ever want to tell someone to get a grip? Tell them that they have run amok in their minds and are not facing reality? Stop them from completely ‘losing it’ and self-destructing? How often have you told yourself to get a grip only to later serve up more and more justification for your misguided thinking and emotions? Your very own self-sabotage?
Emotional Competence is a learnable competence. My domestic violence mentor, Tony Kubicki, long ago taught me that awareness gives me choice, and that awareness is the key component to emotional competence.
