Hi.
I used to use the AWARE process from theanxietycoach.com. Particularly stating it out loud "I'm panicking/I'm afraid etc" and the "it will end, if I can just wait long enough, because it always has".
Used to, because I don't seem to need it anymore. Isn't that fabulous?!
A panic attack feels like an overwhelming surge of fear, often with physical symptoms like sweating or chest tightness. I cope by taking slow, deep breaths, using positive affirmations, and distracting myself with a calming activity. Knowing it’s temporary helps me regain control
