Panic: Breathing exercises, distraction, flooding, exposure with response prevention, imagery, meditation, medications as necessary. All these techniques can be further explained by a therapist during cognitive behavior work. Remember, panic attacks pass, & they do not cause permanent damage.

Talk to yourself: Imagine that you have to calm someone else and then try to talk yourself down the same way. Tell yourself that this is just a panic attack, that's all, it will pass. Let it come and let it go, it is only a panic attack, that's all, it will not hurt you. Keep talking yourself down, try to deep-breathe thru it. Keep going--you'll get there!
