You most likely are familiar with the expression "what you resist persists". It's taken us a while to completely grasp what that means, but it seems that this concept can be very helpful in overcoming panic attacks. After someone has had a panic attack, there is always the fear of going through another one. And it is this fear, not the panic attack itself, that causes the main issue. It is this fear that makes people start rearranging their lives to avoid any circumstance they think might set off another attack. Worst cases are individuals who stop driving, avoid social activities, or even stop leaving their home, as happens to those who develop agoraphobia. In Panic Away, the well known anxiety and panic treatment method, Barry McDonagh says that the best way to handle this is to stop resisting having anxiety attacks and encourage them. He learned this when he was trying to cure his own panic attacks and has publicly shared this technique. Remember "what you resist persists"? Apparently, if you stop resisting having panic attacks you will be less likely to have them again. It's the expectation of having the next attack that puts people on edge, increases their stress and anxiety, and makes them more likely to have another one. If you have problems with anxiety attacks, We're going to dare you to do something right this moment. We want you to try to have a panic attack right now. Muster one up on the spot. Do you think you can? Most likely you can't. And this demonstrates a significant point about this way to conquer panic. You may not fully grasp it yet, but you are in command of your attacks. It is really your thoughts about the physical sensations you start having (heart racing, can't breathe, etc.) that drive you over the edge and move your anxiety into a full blown attack. And so the next time you sense anxiety welling up, stop resisting. Tell yourself to bring on the panic and notice what happens. You might find taking this reverse strategy makes all the difference in reducing the intensity of your anxiety attacks or even gets rid of them once and for all.

Panic Away is a best-selling pick for successful panic and anxiety therapy. You will find several very good reasons for this. Read our comprehensive Panic Away review so you can understand the way this program gets results.
