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.

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.

Panic Attack Help – Part 1: You Are Not Alone (Surprising Scientific Research)


If you’ve ever felt alone, weak, or ashamed because of having panic attacks… then this short video has been made precisely for you. Hi, I’m Michael Norman, and as scientist and anxiety specialist with clients from over 103 countries around the world… I’ve seen how deeply panic attacks can impact people. People often feel alone, weak, or even ashamed because they have panic attacks… and there’s absolutely no need for any of that. To make sure that you know this is true… and that you know you’re not weak… you’re not alone… and there’s no need to EVER feel ashamed… I want to ask you an important question: What percentage of people do you think have had at least one panic attack in their lifetime? Take a moment and get curious about it.


What’s your guess? Would you guess as high as 28%? That’s a lot of people, and yet this is what the best research shows. What this means is that if you have 200 friends on Facebook…it’s a good estimate that between 40 to 60 of them will experience a panic attack in their lifetime. You can look through your newsfeed and consider this, if you ever feel alone. And if you live in a city with 1 million people… then, based on averages, there are probably two to three hundred thousand people all around you, who’ve either experienced a panic attack already, or likely will in the future.


Along with all of this, almost 1 in 20 people will experience what’s often labelled “Panic Disorder”. Now, for several reasons, I’m definitely not a fan of labels, like “Panic Disorder”—but that’s a discussion for another time. What the “Panic Disorder” label refers to though, is when somebody has frequent enough, unexpected panic attacks, that it significantly changes their behaviour, or robs them of their sense of safety. And 1 in 20 people will meet the criteria for “Panic Disorder” some time in their lifetime. We’re talking about a huge amount of people! In fact… if everyone just in the US, who meet the criteria for “Panic Disorder” sometime in their lifetime, were put into one city… it would be bigger than New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago combined — the three biggest US cities! And if we look at the global picture… hundreds of millions of people, have all been through similar kinds of experiences as you have — including me! So… if you’ve ever felt alone, weak or ashamed in anyway because of the panic attacks you’ve had… I hope you now know…you are definitely not alone… Even the strongest, bravest people can get panic attacks… And there’s absolutely no reason to feel ashamed, because surprisingly, panic is a FAR more common part of the human experience… than most people would ever realise.


Now if you’d like to know why so many of us have had problems with panic attacks… and more importantly… if you’d like to know how to end your panic attacks for good… then this is what I cover inside my “Panic Free TV” foundation series. It’s a completely free series, and I think you’ll agree after you’ve started watching it, that it makes a very real, very important difference in your life. To watch my foundation series right now, simply click on the link on your screen or in the description below, and get started today on your journey back to a normal, panic-free life. I hope this video has been valuable to you. I’m Michael Norman, thank you so much for watching..
