Teasing it out is the key because it allows you to feel generous and that you are giving anxiety every chance possible.ĭeep down you know there is really nothing to fear. Really tease it out like you did when you were a child and you never wanted to reach zero. Then start counting -but nice and slowly, don’t rattle it off as fast as you can. I am going to be generous and give it 20 seconds but after 20 seconds and nothing has happened then the opportunity has officially passed and I am going to go back to what I was doing.”

You think to yourself “I am not prepared to spend my time worrying about this. This works because it establishes a sense of control within your mind and body. If it were a poker game, you are asking anxiety to show its hand. You turn it into a game where you call fear’s bluff. If you are going to faint – 20 seconds! But absolutely no more time than that.īy setting a specific time frame you establish boundaries of control. If you are going to lose control, then your mind has 20 seconds to do so. If you heart is going to explode then it has 20 seconds to do so.

Whatever the bodily sensation is that you fear, it must happen within that 20 second time frame. You are allowing 20 seconds for it to fully manifest but not a second more. After the 20 seconds are complete it must stop making empty threats. Tell the panic that it has 20 seconds to initiate the full panic attack. When you feel the sensations of a panic attack building do the following. This is a very good exercise for people who want something practical to focus their attention on when they feel the pressure of a panic attack building. (In later emails I will address feelings of general anxiety) It is a very simple way to help end the fear of a PANIC ATTACK. I want to share with you something that does work. How are people supposed to solve their anxiety issue if they are continuously exposed to these techniques and methods that only teach people to cope with anxiety. I am sure you have come across them a million times before already. Brown Paper bags, think happy thoughts, do your breathing etc. It seems every time I do a search online there is yet another anxiety “expert” rehashing the same old ideas.
