How to Stop Panic Attacks: Inspired by Claire Weekes

  Hi. I’m Lynette from PanicAttackRecovery.com. We’re a collaboration of former sufferers who are helping current sufferers of anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia. Our videos are designed for those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia. However, anyone can benefit from them. Today I want to discuss a technique gleaned from Dr. Claire Weekes, M.D. We, at PanicAttackRecovery.com, like this strategy because it is simple yet quite effective. Dr. Weekes suggested that when someone experiences increased anxiety or a panic attack, they should simply stop doing whatever they are doing. For example, if you find that you’re becoming entrenched in your anxious thoughts, and feel like you are on the verge of a panic attack, just stop whatever you are doing. Let’s provide a real-life example, that could save your life! If you have ever spent time in the outdoors, whether hiking, camping, or involved in another activity in the outdoors, you may have had the experience of losing your bearings.   In other words, getting off course and feeling like you might not be able to find your way back. You know the feeling if you’ve ever experienced it. It can be pretty scary. Your heart starts racing, your mouth gets dry, it’s hard to think straight, etc. The fight or flight response begins like the experience of a panic attack. Many experienced outdoor enthusiasts have suggested: that while someone can lose their bearings in the woods, they should not panic. Getting anxious can tend to make you simply go in circles and tire yourself out. This can further increase your anxiety. Instead of panicking, experienced persons know that they should remain calm. By remaining calm, they will be in a better position to use their navigation skills and other reasoning strategies to find their way back.   They could devise a plan and find their way out of the woods. For example, they might consult their compass. They could listen for the buzz of traffic from the nearest highway, or try to locate the nearest stream or river so that they can follow it back to the nearest opening. And, in the worst case scenario, experts say that if one finds themselves lost in the woods, one can spend a night in the woods safely by building a fire and temporary shelter. Then the next day, once they are rested and daylight returns, they are in a much better position to navigate their way out.   Imagine trying to accomplish these things when you are in a state of panic. In such a scenario, it is the panic that can endanger people’s lives. In other words, your fear is the thing to most be concerned over when you are lost in the woods. This is not only the case with the example provided, but in reality, fear is usually the biggest factor in anxiety and panic attacks. And that’s why using Dr. Weekes’ suggestion can be so effective for anxiety. You can stop doing whatever it is that you’re doing, stop exacerbating the situation, and your sense of control returns because you are no longer feeding your anxiety and you begin to enable yourself to think more clearly. Then you will be in a more rational state to respond to the challenge you are facing. Allow yourself to think about the worst-case scenario when it comes to a panic attack. What would happen if you stopped doing whatever it is you’re doing when you feel a panic attack coming on? Many people at first believe that they’ll spiral out of control.   However, this is not the case. Rather, by not feeding your anxiety, you will begin to feel better and regain the feeling of control that you never really did lose but you felt like you were losing. Like anything, this technique requires practice. However, over time you can demonstrate for yourself how effective this approach can be and realize that you don’t have to get stuck in a pattern that makes your emotions worse. Best of all, while this suggestion can be very beneficial for anxiety and panic attack sufferers, it extends more broadly to other emotions that many people experience from time to time.   Our videos are designed for those suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia.

ADHD and Anxiety Tips: How To Stop a Panic Attack Right Now

  I will show you how you can reverse a panic attack uh you know and pack answers right here racing and you’re having all the other symptoms that you have with an attack and you want to alleviate the symptoms so what we’re first going to do is we’re going to talk about what in a nutshell happens during a panic attack and at that point will switch gears once we finish talking about that and discuss how you can use that knowledge to your advantage so let’s just talk about what’s going on during a panic attack so that you know how to use that knowledge and I will show you how to use that knowledge to your advantage during a panic attack which is known as the fight or flight response is activated um even though the individual is not in any real danger um this response then activates the body’s uh mental and physical survival responses which release chemicals such as the kremlin or quarters all except for I couldn’t list period wasn’t that but uh important thing to note is that there is a physiological reactions that happen when people dilate restoration increases thoughtful blood flow to the brain is reduced so the number of changes happening of course that’s going to have an impact on your thoughts because your physiology certainly impacts your thoughts so um the fight or flight response is activated and obviously uh you having physiological symptoms and uh your thoughts are becoming impacted by the sent so what happens is and you will and reason and uh initially tryin”’ uh reassure yourself really that nothing is going well but unfortunately having these physiological symptoms which of course exacerbate thoughts and you say well maybe something is and then you start going down that road and um the whole process gets worse and worse and so on as you can see it’s just sort of uh circle at the end of the time when you’re not having a panic attack and you’re not anxious uh it’s easy to see it as a cycle but when you’re in the middle of an anxiety or panic attack it’s it’s much harder To Ra actually have this knowledge infection anyway so if you’re in the middle of a panic attack knowing that it’s a vicious cycle can be isn’t necessarily that helpful uh buddy it can be helpful once we got the next step which is to look at to look at a reverse uh panic attack that’s what we’re gonna switch gears and and discuss at this point so what we’re going to discuss specifically is uh we’re going to look at the actions park that occur uh when we’re in the middle of the pack keep in mind there is a physiological process happening so we obviously um you know I heard is probably racing Mayfield dizzy we uh may feel like we’re not even in reality because it’s uh various chemicals going in the body blood flow is reduced you’re not in a rational mind because if you think about fighter planes I mean it’s a survival instinct of survival reaction and the most important thing when you’re in the middle of a survival situation is too strict so you can run away from the situation or fight we have is useful in the right set of circumstances for example if your hosts were on fire uh it would be important to get notes as quickly as possible uh but in the middle of a rational situation you know it’s not you still haven’t seen her flexible so that what’s happened with someone who has a panic attack they’re having this fight or flight response happen you know when you really know upfront so we’re going to discuss now is again getting back to refer to addressing their but we’re going to discuss how you can use this information to you here then it’s okay what we need to do is we need to look at what happens when wearing a backpack so it’s going to take some well prior part you need to uh take some notes and documents and notes uh rate down what it is that you’re doing it and I’ll tell you what I’m talking about many people their having panic attacks will begin to talk faster some will talk very loudly somewhat case back and forth in the room, some will sit there and use gestures with their hands such as holding a right hand you know our waving their hands here so if you continually side of anxiety and other for some people it’s a very uh very good indicated that contains i_d_’s increasing in perhaps panicked if it’s a personal aspect some people will cry but the important thing is that we all have things we do as individuals when we’re having a packet and these actions actually are exacerbating but not only are the exacerbating attacks there also feeding etc So if you go in change these actions upenn reverse a panic attack the question becomes we document what was we need to think about strategy okay what I wanted to do that’s the opposite this is uh this goes back to your behavioral perspective of psychology that’s how you know you your behavior well obviously a factor in your physiology and your uh your emotions and that’s the premise here is that what you do effects ultimately how you think emotions perot systems you have a a list of your tendencies when you’re in the middle of the backpack uh you have this information document so if you’re feeling anxious again you begin to feel penick dot clean up what you need to do at that point he is instead of pacing back and forth uh sit still minister Tennessee this will cause you to feel like um will actually because you feel like you know it’s the opposite of what you want to do with the office of your instinct at that point because your enough fireplace situation you’re saying I don’t want to sit still wanna keep on the move and uh if u costly go in there to look at your people’s or you look at other people’s reactions to you seaway they’re reacting don’t do that so for instance put your attention on perhaps a TV program or what obviously if you’re in the middle of a panic or anxiety attention span is going to be very limited in what you nib that’s ok important thing is to go through the process of looking at the tv or the book so resisting your tendency to place back in force or to do whatever it is that you do detect you’re doing up so you have to think about okay what is the option of led let’s look at a couple of more concrete samples because I think it’s still theoretical at At this point let’s say that uh I’m when you have a panic attack you will talk very quickly so you know you’re talking great quickly to someone else so the first thing you need to do is slow down you would talk slower so you can you would force yourself to talk slower again your reflux here will be any to speed up but that is your anxiety once you slow down the physiological symptoms your body will begin to lessen decreasing your recent thoughts with us decrease because you’re taking a part of the cycle uh what I would also uh use as an example of someone who speaks very loudly perhaps with at perhaps at the picture of the glorious or the volume of course just simply increases so obviously you would need to speak very quietly if you’re in the middle of anxiety so talkers softly there are you know many different possibilities for people to have a panic attack you know tendencies that they have in particular about you need to let’s go through the steps again you need to uh attention to what it is you do when you have an anxiety attack you know you here had your hands are you talking quickly are you pacing back and forth Excedrin and then you need to come have that information um on hand next time you have any kind and you then need to do the option of that activity when a good idea after you documented when it is that you do you should probably go back and think of openings in the office till the course again if you’re pacing back and forth sitting still videos so that what you want to do you wanna you want to sit still

How to stop panic attacks naturally and fast: avoid caffeine?


Paul asks “is it true that I can stop my panic attacks naturally and fast… by simply avoiding caffeine?” Hi, I’m Michael Norman and welcome to “PanicFree TV’s Fact or Fiction”. This is where as a scientist and anxiety specialist, I help you cut through the noise, myths, and popular claims… and show you the simple science of what really works to stop your panic attacks fast, for good.


Now, caffeine can definitely trigger panic attacks in some people, but there is a counterintuitive twist. I’ll share this twist with you in just a moment — but first, let me answer your question. Caffeine can create all kinds of body sensations that can resemble a panic attack. It can cause heart palpitations, tremors, anxiety, and nausea — and if someone is scared of those sensations, then caffeine can trigger a panic attack for them.


This is actually quite common in moderate to high doses of caffeine. For example, in a 2015 study… nearly half of everyone who’d been diagnosed as having 'panic disorder' had a panic attack after being given 400mg of caffeine in one serving. When they were given the placebo, none of them had a panic attack. Now 400mg is quite a lot caffeine to have in one serving, so we’re talking about higher doses than most of us would have at any one moment in time. It’s about 4-6 cups of instant coffee Or 2-3 cups of drip coffee. It’s 5 red bulls.


Or 13 cans of coke. Now, again, that’s a lot of caffeine… and I don’t know how much you consume, but if you have a lot, or if you think you’re more sensitive to caffeine than normal… then it’s probably worthwhile cutting back or eliminating caffeine for a while to see if that makes any difference for you. So… what’s the counterintuitive twist I mentioned earlier? Well, believe it or not… while caffeine can trigger panic attacks in some people, it has also been used to “cure” panic attacks in others.


How is this possible? It’s possible because caffeine can’t DIRECTLY trigger a panic attack. All it can do is create some panic-like body sensations — and it’s only if your brain mistakenly misinterprets those sensations as being dangerous… that a panic attack can result. This is why, in the past, what some researchers have done, is they’ve used high-dose caffeine to deliberately induce panic-like symptoms… so that people with panic attacks can practice not being scared of them. Because if you’re not scared the sensations that caffeine can induce, then it won’t be able to trigger a panic attack. Now, I definitely DON’T recommend this approach, especially at home without medical supervision… and I’d never ever use it myself with any clients because it’s not particularly effective… it only works with a limited number of people… and I can show you far faster, far more effective, and far more gentle ways of quickly becoming panic-free for good.


The only reason I mention it here, is just to give you the full picture. Again Caffeine doesn’t directly cause panic attacks. Instead, it’s your response to the sensations that caffeine can create, that can trigger a panic attack or not. However, if you consume a lot of caffeine, or if you think you’re more sensitive to it than normal… then it’s probably worthwhile to try cutting back or eliminating caffeine for a while, to see if that makes any difference for you. Now, if you’re wondering… what’s the best way to naturally stop your panic attacks fast so you never have to endure another one again… even if you drink a lot of coffee? If you’re wondering that… then you’ll find the answers in my free “Panic Free TV” foundation series.


It’s simple science-based help for panic attacks that will show you the fastest, natural way to go from wherever you are right now… back to a life that’s as normal, care-free, and panic-free, as anyone else you know. The solutions for panic are very simple, but they’re deeply counterintuitive and that’s why I created this foundation series. Again, it’s completely free, it will make an immediate, important difference in your life and to watch it right now, simply click on the link on your screen or in the description below, enter your details, and get started today on your journey back to a normal, panic-free life.


I’m Michael Norman. Thank you so much for watching. I’ll see you soon..

Anxiety Help: How To Stop Anxiety and Agoraphobia (for REAL)

Hey guys. This video is one that I’ve wanted to share for a while in hopes of helping others who may be going through some tough times with anxiety, panic disorders, or depression. It took me a while to get around to filming this because I didn’t want to share such personal problems on here, and I didn’t want to seem like I was jumping on some trendy anxiety train (seriously, I recently read somewhere that sharing mental illness stories was “trendy”….*eyeroll*). I decided to share this anyways because this is a VERY REAL problem with not a lot of true success stories to relate to. And if you’re anything like I was, you need someone to relate to during tough times. Anxiety and agoraphobia had been a big part of my daily life for about 7 years. It started off being something I could manage but as time went on, my mental state became increasingly worse to the point of not leaving my house for weeks at a time. My mind was taking a physical toll on my body and I just wanted it to end. I struggled every day with feelings of panic and a mind that just wouldn’t shut up. I wanted to share with you what worked for me as well as what didn’t… because the absolute worst thing was feeling like I was alone in this and that there was no hope at all for recovery. Now that I know that to be false, I don’t want anyone to ever feel the way I felt, so I tried to cover as much as I could in this video about my story and how you can take the same steps I did to overcome your own anxiety issues. If you have any questions or stories of your own, feel free to comment below. xox Visit Me: —————————————————————————- My Blog: http://www.thewonderforest.com Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/wonderforest Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/wonderforest Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/thewonderforest Design Shop: http://www.envye.com LOVE YOU!!! *Some links included in this description, such as Amazon links to products, may be affiliate links.
