You Call The Shots
Many people who suffer with Panic Disorder live in fear. anxiety and
depression, with little hope for tomorrow. Their is hope and help
available for a drug free Panic Disorder Treatment. The use of
medication is the first choice for many, but not for me. After
spending time researching this topic (someone I love and care for has
suffered with Panic Disorder) I have found out that medication and
cognitive retraining are both effective but cognitive retraining has
no ugly side effects (it rebuilds instead of covering). It seems
logical to me that the way I think and perceive things creates a
physical and chemical response in my body. I would rather attempt to
correct the problem at the source. I am not a doctor; this is strictly
my own opinion and observation.
First Observation
Now what I have noticed is that Panic Disorder and the Panic Attacks
associated are a direct response to what we think. If I think angry
thoughts, I usually respond with anger. If I think fearful thoughts I
am experiencing fear. My mind doesn't know if what I am thinking is
the correct, true, or really going to happen. It just says "Richard is
going to cross that bridge ahead and its old, weak and traffic is
heavy. There is a good chance I won't make it across alive. "I'm
getting out of here, Now!!!" The Panic Response is triggered. An
unnecessary physical and chemical reaction has occurred. Every emotion
is a response to what we are thinking....
