Thanks for the compliment!

I liked how you phrased "danger or discomfort". I've heard similar ideas before but never put in such a digestible way, thank you! A wonderful tool to internalize.

[davecarbonell]

And once you've committed it to memory, it keeps working automatically for you, helping you find a useful response. Thanks for writing.

@davecarbonell What about when the discomfort potentially IS a danger - for example, experiencing extreme fear in a high mountain situation, when cool judgement is a prerequisite for safety?

@GaryEdge88 But, I don't have panic attacks, and I never have had one. It's all mental.

[GaryEdge88]

@WhiteSugarFive You must work on the accepting the physical feeling of fear. Instead of saying to yourself, Oh no I am having a panic attack, say to yourself, Just a physical feeling, i know scary, but it's just a "feeling". Rather adding second fear (fear of the first flash of fear) accept your fear and it will gradually pass. Purchase Hope and Help For Your Nerves by Dr. Claire Weekes.

But, I can accept that it's discomfort, but it doesn't eliminate the fear. I can accept that it's not real, but I still have the fear. It's as if I am not fearing, that it's flowing through me to make me fear. I fear that if I keep fearing what ever it is that I'm fearing that in the end I'll end up manifesting to make it become reality.

He has written a book - a workbook about dealing with panic - it's available on Amazon

I love his website. When I started having anxiety discomfort, I researched and studied. I stumbled upon Dr. Carb's website and it was the most comforting site I read. I printed out most of the pages and still keep the copies in my briefcase for review whenever I feel as though I need a refresher. I wish he would write a book.
