A member asked:

Is it possible to self talk yourself out of an anxiety or panic attack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Talk plus breathing: Sellf-talk and skills sure can help. Is cognitive behavioral treatment works in 70% of cases, and it really is basically learning better ways to talk or think about it along with developing some skills and techniques. See: http://cpancf.Com/anxietydisordersbasics.Asp.
