The first step in helping yourself deal with panic attacks is to understand that anxiety and fear are normal emotions. These feelings are actually mechanisms to help, not hurt us. 

This mechanism stems back to primitive man who was hunting wild animals for his food and surviving in the wild. When our ancestors were faced with the kind of dangers most of us can´t imagine now, the anxiety and fear triggered the fight/flight response and moved our ancestors into action to protect themselves, through fighting the oncoming danger or running. 

The body takes over and you are able to respond to a threat with very little notice. Think about driving, we are able to swerve out of the way of oncoming dangers with very little notice or thought.

• Are you breathing quickly or slowly?
• Are you breathing deeply or shallowly?
