Panic Attacks and the Panic Cycle
Many people who’ve experienced panic attacks try to protect themselves from their anxiety. They tell themselves “don’t think about it;” they resist it; they try to force themselves to feel better; they feel shame and embarrassment and try to keep it a secret from others; and they try to medicate it away with alcohol, nicotine, and other substances. These all make the anxiety worse. Fortunately, anxiety expert Dr. David Carbonell offers a way out for people with panic attacks—whether the attacks are part of panic disorder, social phobia, specific phobias, or some other anxiety disorder.
Today we’re sharing some helpful information from Dr. David Carbonell, anxiety expert and author of the audiobook Panic Attacks Workbook: A Guided Program for Beating the Panic Trick. In this audiobook, Dr. David Carbonell explains the vicious cycle of habitual responses that lead to debilitating attacks. This audiobook offers detailed instructions to help you halt this process and free yourself from the cycle of panic attacks.
