By Brad Davidson

Whether you are currently suffering from panic attacks or you just want to help a loved one get over their panic attacks, it is a good thing you are here reading this article today. As you read this article, you will gain wisdom and will know three great tricks that can be applied to help a person overcome their attack.

1-Face the actual cause of the attacks

If you really want to get rid of your panic attacks you are going to need to take a very brave step and actually face the cause of your attacks. There can be many ways to go about this, but the best way to do it is to actually go to whatever caused the attack in the first place and face it head on. For example, if you got hit by a car on some road and will not go back to that road again, face your fears head on by going back to the road.

2-It is important to control your breathing

One thing we see often with people who decide to be brave enough to face their attacks is that they get afraid and have an attack. If it does, then it is important you realize you will need to control your breathing. For about fifteen to twenty minutes make sure you are taking long, controlled breaths. This is not only great for getting rid of your attacks but will help lower your blood pressure, heart rate, and keep stress down.

3-Don't underestimate the power of the brain

Every panic attack you have ever had started from your very own brain. I know some of you may think this is not good, but it really is great news! This is a good thing because who controls your brain? You do! How many of you wake up each morning having a fear of getting an attack? When this happens all you are thinking about is getting a panic attack, therefore you will get one. But if you wake up telling yourself you will be perfectly fine today, then you probably will not get an attack - 30437
