Panic & panic attacks


An anxiety or panic attack is a very intense experience, and many people who experience it get so afraid that they think they are going to die. When the fear surrounds you and the panic gets stronger and stronger, you may feel that things are going completely wrong and that you are having a heart attack, going crazy and death is imminent.

When you don't understand why you got so scared or had the panic attack, it seems like it just came out of thin air - and that it could just happen to you again.... . This creates the fear for the fear. This means that the feeling of fear itself becomes threatening, because that feeling could mean that it will go all wrong, again... .

Fearing panic attacks


When you feel the fear and panic rising again, you can become afraid that things will go wrong again. You become afraid that you are going to get a panic attack and fear itself becomes the enemy & the greatest threat. Fear & panic become the problem that makes your life impossible. And you can become afraid at just the thought of a certain feeling or situation - afraid that you are going to have another panic attack.

The feeling of fear is so strong & the panic experience is so scary that you can begin to see the fear as an enemy. The fear that things will soon go wrong & the idea that something terrible could happen can start to control your thinking & actions more and more. The tendency arises to run away & try to avoid the feeling & the situations in which you might start to panic again. Or to fight the panic & try to suppress or numb it.

Preventing panic attacks


Many people develop every possible tactic to avoid, suppress, numb or control the panic. And that is not surprising if you do not know how to deal with these scary thoughts, feelings & physical reactions. But unfortunately, these tactics often backfire and when you start avoiding situations, your world gets smaller and smaller - and you can become more and more focused on your feelings.

Because when something just seems to happen to you and you feel you have no real control over it, it is so frightening that it makes you very alert to the possible precursors of a panic attack. Your body starts reacting very quickly as a result and you can notice this in your breathing, heart rate, sweating, dry mouth and extra adrenaline & tension etc. - which in turn often become threatening signals of an upcoming panic attack.

This creates vicious circles that are difficult to break without proper help, which can get you pretty stuck in your life. The Centrumpraktijk helps you to get the insights & tools you need to learn to deal with the anxious thoughts & scary feelings and learn to deal with panic and its causes. As a result you get more and more grip on yourself, your thoughts & feelings, you can start to regain your balance and the panic disappears from your life.
