Learning How To Interpret And Control Our Flight Or Fight Alarm Is Essential.

In nature, it's known as the "flight or fright" response.

It's what we do when confronted with danger. Everyone has an instinctual sense of well-being and security, and a sense of danger that alerts and protects us from harm.

It is this awareness of the dangers that surround us that enable us to survive. We are programmed by nature to respond to our built-in alarm system in two those primitive ways: flee or fight!

Panic attacks are nothing more than our built-in danger alarm going haywire, causing us to over overreact to signals around us and to internal false alarms. This unwarranted fear and panic is caused by a lack of understanding what we're supposed to be afraid of, and more importantly, how we're supposed to react to stressors around us.

Because our internal danger alarm can't tell us whether to run or stand and fight, we react by feeling overwhelmed and panicked, unable to see that in reality there is really no true threat at all. Learning to filter out the false alarms is the key to understanding how to react to the false perception of danger.

Forget medication and the other so-called anxiety attack panic treatments. Anyone can put panic attacks behind them by knowing they're prepared to take them on and deal with them.
The best tip for panic attack avoidance is to not fear having one to begin with. It may sound overly simple, but it works.
