Medication may not be the answer

Do you know the ONE thing you have to learn to do if you are to push panic away from your life? You have to break the fear of having another panic attack.

Yes, I know it's easy to say. But you'd be surprised also how easy it is to do. If you suffer from panic attacks you are not going to like what I say next: you are suffering needlessly. There really is a no-drug, successful system to beat it, to send panic away once and for all.

No matter whether it is a fear of driving, of flying, of being interviewed, of speaking in public, it's always the same thing that triggers the process. What starts the panic cycle is the fear of the next time it bites you.

That's right. The anticipation of a panic attack puts the wave of anxiety in motion. The setup for your next attack is in place hours before it actually hits you. And then it just takes some tiny thing, like driving over a long bridge that brings back bad memories, to set panic away on a full blown attack.

What happens is your first panic attack can have such an impact that it is imprinted somewhere in your brain. This causes you to have an unnatural anxiety about having it happen again. And sure enough, it becomes self-fulfilling, the anxiety turns into fear and something happens to send the fear into another attack of panic.

In fact, findings published by University College London last year demonstrated that when people experience extreme anxiety or panic, the activity in their brain moves from the front of their brain to the midbrain.

The prefrontal cortex, the front of the brain, is where decision making and rationalization takes place. The periaqueductal grey area, the midbrain, is where survival mechanisms such as fight or flight originate from.

What this tells us is that when people suffer panic attacks, the anxiety moves activity to a part of the brain which results in heightened fear and panic. And that's why deep breathing and other conventional forms of calming the body down in a panic attack don't do anything to stop the next one from coming. Your brain is where the change needs to take place.

I didn't find this out from a doctor. I learned it when I stumbled across a man called Joe McDonagh. Joe suffered from panic attacks, too. He had a feeling it involved cognitive behaviour and studied some of the top psychologists for clues how to get panic away from this cycle of repetition.

His breakthrough moment came when he realized that putting panic away for good depended on understanding and removing the reasons why it generates itself in this vicious cycle. He developed a technique along the lines that, if you extinguish the fuel for the attack, then you eliminate the recurrence.

That was maybe 10 years ago. It is a distinctly logical approach to fear that has nothing to do with drugs or medication. Joe's technique has now been acclaimed by thousands of people in 30 countries and he has made it available on line for something like seven years.

It might just be the most successful remedy for finally pushing panic away and returning life to normal.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't the best value. I don't know all the treatments out there but I have read about people who have spent thousands if dollars trying everything from support classes to drugs to counselling and nothing worked. But if you read the hundreds of testimonials, Joe's technique did.

If you are a sufferer, I would urge you not to waste one more minute. Find out more right now by clicking this link. You owe it to yourself and, besides, it costs nothing to find out.
