amazing..I'm 19 years old and have had anxiety all through life beginning in early childhood. I've always followed my gut instincts and the rule of struggling and fighting, even for my anxiety, and it never went away. About 2 years ago, I decided "challenge" and defeat anxiety once and for all, I was pretty much at war with myself. All I can say is, things went TERRIBLY wrong. Then I stumbled across your articles and videos and they SAVED MY LIFE, glad to say I'm recovering now. Thanks a lot!

This guy makes a lot of sense and he indeed knows what he is talking about.I have had severe panic attacks for 20 years untill I have discovered the books of a late Australian Doctor CLAIRE WEEKES which in fact saved my life.I read all her 5 books and PRACTICE everyday all her recommendation and i am now CURED.

I would have lost trying to remember the lyrics of the song. Sad. Anyway, I'm surprised that the official cases of Panic Disorder in the US and worldwide are small. I developed the horrible disease as a result of suffering abuse for a long time by more than one person. Physical, sexual, verbal, and mental abuse is so common, I'm surprised more people don't struggle with this disease. Currently I'm on disability. My family do not care, nor do they understand. They say I'm mooching off the gov.

a friend has been going through diagnosis over the last year for suspected epilepsy (she has had an MRI and a 'white spot presents on the right front temporal lobe)....had an ambulatory and sleep induced EEG, she gets symptoms that present like a simple complex seizure, recently however her neuropsychiatrist followed up and said she has panic disorder presenting as depression and non epileptic seizures...I've told her to get second opinion any more help?

As Dr, Reid Wilson said, "Run to the Roar", and "what you resist will persist"

[9Barry009]

Great video. Very helpful. Thanks. I have panic attack and have gotten it down to a tolerable level but I believe I'll never get rid of it completely.

btw

Also, what really helped me, is applying a mantra.

I usually had panic attacks in the evening or at night

and I would always say:

'No matter what I do, no matter what I feel, I'll still be alive tomorrow'

and I would just keep repeating those words over and over again..

Sure DON'T miss those days...

[natjaa]

TRUE

thankfully over the years I have developed my own way to block a panic attack, to kind of nip it in the bud..

And it works for me, coz over the past two/three years I have litteraly blocked every single upcoming panic attack.

It takes a lot of mindcontrol and control of the situation itself

I think anyone could do it, you just need to reach a certain state of mental strength in order to succeed.

[ProjectBarry]

In my experience, fear of panic causes panic. Panic was merely a bunch of sensations individually tailored to scare the me. It comes from the mid brain, the other part of the brain (the part really in control) can ALWAYS choose not to respond to these sensations, it was this rational and some citalopram as a pick-me-up that taught me to switch the panic off, once I learned how to switch it off, I welcomed panic as an opportunity to use my new skill, once I welcomed it, it never comes back.

[stussyboys]

u nailed it juts right thats exactly what im experiancing right now every morning i wake up and have issues with leaving the house in fear that ill have a panic attack but recently i have been deliberatly going outside in order to welcome it so i can face it and try to beat it well said thats exactly how u can beat it

[ringbolt9]

well explained and I love your vids!!

[ashvindso]

i dont get it.they are linknig panic attacks with chiropractice. issit true chiro practice can help?ive been having panic attacks anxiety for no reason.like out of nowhere?

[vmtz2001]

It's a real paradox. Don't fight it, but do takes steps to deal with it. When you try too hard, you become apprehensive when it isn't working. You become vigilant and notice every little symptom until what you were thinking moments before explodes into full blown symptoms. I find that if you've been thinking about it and not sure it isn't dangerous. They come on their own like when you dream about something you were thinking about during the day making you think that surely it wasn't suggestion

[XioJester]

I know what you mean, actually I had another one last night, late and it was like that. I feel guilty not being able to just snap out of it eventually...like you said, you feel like after a few years you would realize there's no danger. I like to say it's like surfing now...you can't really fight it, just have to navigate it. I still remember what it was like before I started having these when I was 15...I didn't know how good life was!

[vmtz2001]

Try self-hypnosis. I always tell myself, "suggestion created it, suggestion will make it go away", make a tape. But you know if you are not of the idea that it's anything to worry about in general, it will go away. I find that if I have been entertaining the notion that it might be dangerous, it comes on later on in the day. The best thing to do is press forward and don't expect results. You assure yourself, but are disappointed and worried when it comes back anyway. Let it blow over.

[BaileyLush]

The paradox can be simplified by dichotimizing the solution like this: Don't fight the sensations. In fact embrace them. But do fight to change your behavour- regardless of the symptoms. But your absolutley right; it can be hard to undersand this duality.

[vmtz2001]

Single-best analogy I've heard. I've had panic attacks for 20 years. I've conquered them only to have them come back. I particularly idenitied with the analogy of the lie detector. It's so simple to say, "don't worry about it and you'll be fine", but you need to know you have nothing to worry about in order not to worry. My doctor telling me I could cause my own heart attack and not to worry so I didn't was rather stupid.

[osullip]

Responding to a perceived threat passively and 'floating' may well be the hardest thing anyone ever has to do. It takes a while, but as long as you anticipate feeling worse before you feel better you'll very slowly turn a corner. Using CBT, think oil tanker, not speedboat.

[XioJester]

BRAVO! You gave the best example of an anxiety disorder that I have ever heard from a patient OR a professional!

..and according to the clinic I went to, I'm the worst, longest running anxiety case they have lol.

[vmtz2001]

Maybe I got you beat ....23 years. You would think that after thousands of episodes I would figure out you're in no danger. We humans are so silly, I have become an expert at overcoming panic. I learn more and more each of the many times I've accomplished this. Gone years with hardly an attack only to fall for my lies again. I find it's your prevailing belief as to the danger of panic that creeps up behind you when you least expect it. It's feels so real, to some extent it is, but not dangerous.

[SSCARR009]

im 27 i have been having panic attacks for 6years and i still cant deal with i stay dizzy all the time my doctor say it is to do to my panic have you every had that problem

[happilylil]

i used to have panic attacks before and it's really hard having it. i am just happy that i am taking Vilift now and it's really helping me a lot.

[vmtz2001]

WAtch it with crutches like medication and avoidance. You really need to deal with it. You start creating requirements for you to be "safe" and before long, it's like the story told here, you make more and more requirements to feel safe.

[thugmaster32]

This is really true, i had a slight panic disorder, then i started to research it and find ways to cure it, but it actually just made me think about it more and gave me more panic attacks then before.

[binaryfuneral]

I like your analogies. Good way of looking at it.

[lexluthor2008]

Hi Dr. Carbonnell, thank you for posting this. I recently purchased your workbook and I am excited to start working on it.

[davecarbonell]

Nice to hear from you - thanks for writing!

[clscholl]

Dear Dave,

It's good to see that you have gotten this vital information out on the web. I attended your seminar in Youngstown this past year and have found your techniques to be easy to use and very effective.

[harsha205]

hello dave.. i have read some articles on anxietycoach site and felt it made sense. I have social phobia and i am highy self- conscious abt where i look. can you suggest something?

[davecarbonell]

Here's a great self help book for social phobia: "Overcoming Social Anxiety and Shyness: A Self-Help Guide Using Cognitive Behavioral Techniques", by Gillian Butler. I highly recommend it!

[helmar54]

I found this video very helpful.

[davecarbonell]

Glad to hear it. Thanks for writing!

[zumbalika3]

I have been scared of planes for 25 years. I ordered your book and after a while I got over my fear of flying. Thank you,

Dr. Carbonell.

[davecarbonell]

You're welcome.  Bon Voyage!
