Coping with Panic Attacks and
How To Deal With Them Safely

Panic attacks are actually brought on when experiencing high states of anxiety, but how we can overcome it.

Your Body Will Always Try To Remain Calm

Whenever you use some form of coping strategy that you may have been taught for controlling your attacks, it's the parasympathetic system that you are calling into action. One thing worth remembering is that this system will always be brought into action at some point during your panic attacks whether you call it into action or not. It's a built in protection system we posses which helps us survive.

So next time you have a panic attack, try to remember that they cannot do you any physical harm. Your mind will undoubtedly make the sensations last much longer than your body would ever have intended, but sooner or later, everything will start to calm down again. I appreciate that's little comfort when experiencing an attack, having been there myself, but use it to reassure yourself.

Something you may find interesting about our in-built fight or flight system, is that your blood is channelled away from areas where it is not vital, and pumped into areas where it may be required urgently.

A prime example is when we are anticipating some form of physical attack whether it's a response to an attacker coming at us with a knife, or being confronted by a sabre toothed tiger. Blood will be pulled from extremities like fingers, toes and the skin, and pumped into the major muscle groups like the legs and arms, to help your body prepare for action – whatever that action may be.

This exact natural bodily reaction is a lot of people feel tingling and even numbness sensations during a panic attack. The problem is that these symptoms are very easy to interpret as a serious health condition like a heart attack.
