10 Techniques To Help You Survive A Panic Attack

2. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy is a technique used to train the brain to reverse inaccurate thoughts and beliefs about oneself. Panic attacks can stem from such thoughts but by working with a trained therapist, a disorder can be remedied by changing thoughts and perceptions. Situations commonly reworked include removing the personal ties to events, broadening ones’ views of events, and learning to carry on from negative encounters. It is important to highlight positive reinforcements rather than harboring on the negative.

1. Lifestyle Changes

Lifestyle affects every aspect of our being. That includes the way a person feels internally. Making lifestyle changes can make a positive difference in the lives of those with panic disorders. Such changes include getting enough sleep, reducing stress, increasing physical activity, taking in less caffeine from food and beverages, and quitting or not starting a drug or alcohol habit. Keeping a tight-knit social circle is also important to a healthy lifestyle and seeking help is a strength, not a weakness.
