What are worries?
When someone’s suffered several panic attacks, it’s quite common to develop another fear apart from the central fears. It’s what we call “scared of fears” or being scared of suffering a new panic attack. The real fear is thinking that panic or anxiety won’t stop and that they’ll go on forever. Other people fear that the attack will never end.
This is a good moment to remind some concepts that you probably already know about anxiety. Panic happens due to bad experiences, it’s the result of inadequate learning. If you use the precise methodology, that inadequate learning will disappear. It doesn’t have to do with opinion, it’s an immutable psychological law.
On the other hand, it also takes up panic physiology knowledge. Remember that the Autonomic Nervous System is designed to work at a high intensity, but in short periods of time. Also remember that the Sympathetic Nervous System hyperactivates itself together with the Parasympathetic which controls and restrains it. A panic attack, without using control techniques, only lasts a few minutes.
Next time you think you’re not going to overcome a problem, or that you’ll be stuck in panic, just remember that that’s not prone to happen!
