Panic attacks: If you have a panic disorder, your Fight-flight-freeze response is too easily triggered. Please start w/a visit to your doc. Then see a clinical psychologist who may use clinical hypnosis (www.asch.net) or biofeedback to help. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help. Peace and good health.
