Can a Panic Attack Stop Without Medication?

MADISON, Wis. - Jan. 22, 2015 - PRLog -- Many people experiencing panic attacks seek out non-medication ways to resolve anxiety issues. A panic attack is considered to be the most extreme form of worrying. Normally to remove an unwanted worry a person must find a way to resolve it. Could this logic be applied to a panic attack? Most panic sufferers are apprehensive about experiencing more panic attacks. Since apprehension is really worrying, how can a panic attack be resolved? Many sufferers have used the method of facing their panic sensations with a passive reaction of letting the panic do anything it wants for as long as it wants without conditions.

The Panic Switch by Jeffrey L. Hammes*, examines and describes his unique method of facing and accepting of the panic sensation while delving into related issues of anxiety, altered perceptions, conflicts, drug use and introspection.

I had escalating panic. I decided to go with it. “Come on, give me your best shot. I can take this, always have and always will... bring it on!” I urged the symptoms to come. I wanted to panic more and become worse. It didn't and went away and I began laughing at the whole situation. (The Panic Switch, p.139)

A way to prove that a facing and accepting method can stop a panic attack is in trying to force a panic attack to come about. It turns out to be an impossible task.  This supports the reasoning for trying a similar approach to a panic attack. Since a panic sensation is all about apprehension, the act of allowing the panic to occur could actually suppress the apprehension. With a successful experience, the sufferer could then apply this method to any future panic sensations.

I stopped caring about what would happen if I had a panic attack. I felt a feeling of calm. I haven’t felt like this in longer than I can remember. (The Panic Switch, p.139)
