Panic attacks and your imagination.

Hello

 

People who experience panic attacks will often say that
they feel out of control as soon as the panic is in full swing.

Christian Nevell Bovee once wrote:

 

"Panic is a sudden desertion of us, and a going over
to the enemy of our imagination."

 

Doesn't that sum it up well?

 

A confident self assured person can suddenly feel powerless
and vulnerable as soon as the panic manifests. As the bodily
sensations race, the mind jumps from logic and reason to wild
fears fueled by the imagination.

 

The hardest part for most people to get their heads around is why
they feel so suddenly powerless during a panic attack?

 

The automatic reaction for most to the sensations of a panic attack
are to fight against it. To shut it down and end it as soon as possible.

Coping techniques like deep breathing and distraction are mildly
effective at best. When these techniques fail to get results, that is
when the person really leaps over to 'the enemy of their imagination'.  

 

It goes something like this:

 

"I used all my coping techniques but I still feel very anxious,
in fact it may be getting worse!

"What if this keeps getting worse and no help can get to me here?" 

 

Where people run with this type of thinking their imagination will
continue to escalate the fear, leaving them feeling more and more
vulnerable and out of control.

 

The secret to regain control and come back to yourself, is to learn
how to respond to the panic in an appropriate manner.

 

The solution is to work with the bodily sensations
rather than against them.

 

Let me give you a small example. If you were sitting
on a train and started to feel sensations that indicated
the beginning of a panic attack, instead of trying to stop
the experience do the opposite. Acknowledge that
you are safe, label the sensations and then tell the sensations that
scare you, to get worse. If you are sweating tell your body to
sweat more, if your heart is racing, tell it to race faster.

 

Move into the experience rather than against it.

 

 

The real panic only begins as soon as you hand over reason
and control to your imagination. By moving into the experience
voluntarily, you become the decision maker and therefore
retain control. If you're going to have a panic attack
it is going to happen on your terms.  

 

 

You empower yourself because you are directing the whole
experience not handing "over to the enemy of our imagination."

manifestations of panic and general anxiety.

...learned more from reading your
program than I did from all the psychologists
and other practitioners I had seen in the 25 years
Joe- I must tell you that out of all the items
you can purchase regarding anxiety related products
on the internet, I learned more from reading
your program than I did from all the psychologists
and other practitioners I had seen in the 25 years
that I've had this condition.


I had been on Xanax and Klonopin for about
10 years, but this December, I decided to withdraw
from it thinking I didn't need the pills anymore
according to some of the programs I ordered
claiming "miracle cures". That's when all my
symptoms started again. I felt as if I had wasted
the past 20 years trying to get better.That's when
I started searching the web for home based "cures".
I ordered so many programs I started to get
confused from too much conflicting advice.
Also, I was promised support but I am still waiting
replies from some of the more expensive programs!
You are a true gentleman, and I am going
to post a very positive feedback on a website you
might be familiar about called: Tapir?

Talk to ya, Andy

 


=================================
...I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM
BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000
IN THE LAST 5 YEARS


JOE,
I RAN ACROSS YOUR PROGRAM SUNDAY,
FEB. 5th. I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM
BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000 IN THE
LAST 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE TRYING EVERYTHING
FROM PANIC SUPPORT CLASSES, MEDICATION,
COUNSELING AND THE LIST GOES ON, ALL TO
RID MYSELF OF PANIC ATTACKS. SOMETHING INSIDE
ME SAID, JUST KEEP TRYING, SO I DID. AFTER 5 YEARS
OF OF LIVING MY LIFE WITH THE WORLD ON MY
SHOULDERS I AM EXCITED TO SAY THAT I
AM NOW PANIC FREE. AFTER ONE TIME OF
APPLYING YOUR ONE MOVE TECHNIQUE,
I AM A NEW PERSON.


ONE OF MY MANY FEARS THAT I DEVELOPED
WAS DRIVING. AFTER READING YOUR PROGRAM
AT 12.30 AT NIGHT I WROTE DOWN SOME QUICK
NOTES FROM YOUR "ONE MOVE TECH." I RAN OUT
OF MY HOUSE AND DROVE TOWARD THE DARKEST
SCARIEST ROAD WHERE NOBODY WAS NEAR BY.

THIS WOULD DEFINITLY BRING ON AN FULL PANIC
ATTACK, WHICH IT DID. WHILE LETTING MYSELF
FEEL THE EMOTIONS RUN THROUGH ME, I DID EXACTLY
WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO, I WAS SCARED AS HELL
BUT STOOD MY GROUND.

 

 I INSTANTLY CALMED AND EVEN TRIED TO BRING THE ATTACK BACK ON, BUT
COULD NOT. I LITTERALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND
SAT IN MY TRUCK AMAZED. AFTER ALL THIS TIME THAT
WAS ALL I HAD TO DO. THE COMPLETE OPPOSIT OF
EVERYTHING THAT I WAS TOLD. THIS WHOLE WEEK
I HAVE DRIVEN WHERE EVER I WANTED,AT ANY TIME
OF THE DAY. I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR PROGRAM.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR RESEARCH, TIME,
AND DEDICATION SO THAT PEOPLE LIKE US CAN NOW
LIVE A NORMAL AND HAPPY LIFE.

==================================
...I prayed to God to show me what to do
I experienced my first panic attack in July of this
year and ended up going to the hospital by ambulance
thinking I was having a stroke or heart attack!
I have had a bunch of attacks since then. Monday
morning I awoke to an immediate attack and prayed to
God to show me what to do.

 

To make a long story short,I was led to your website but was afraid it was like the
other ones where they try to sell you their products.
However, your introductory information really spoke to me
and I decided to take a chance. I read your book and it gave
me the tools I was searching for to deal with my attacks.

I could tell immediately that you have suffered from
panic attacks yourself because you spoke with authority
that can only have come from having dealt with the
terrors yourself.

 

I am 42 years of age and have
been noticing the psychological effects of
perimenopause (one of which is panic attacks in my case).
Thanks again!!
Sincerely,
Cynthia
