Panic can be triggered by just about anything in the world or in our mind or body. In people with panic disorder, it is very common for physical symptoms or thoughts themselves to trigger a panic attack. How do you break the panic cycle? All humans experience anxiety and panic attacks at times. Our brains can overreact and trigger our natural alarm system, our fight or flight or freeze response. This is normal and we can’t stop our brains from being triggered or experiencing anxiety. But you can change your thoughts, interpretations and predictions and you can certainly change your behaviors or how you respond to anxiety and panic. Your brain learns by what you do and what you tell yourself. If you tell yourself what you are feeling is dangerous and threatening, and do certain behaviors to monitor yourself, try to calm down, relieve your symptoms, keep yourself safe, check on bodily symptoms, avoid activities and places that might amp up your anxiety, you are teaching your brain that anxiety symptoms are dangerous. And how do you think your brain reacts if your brain believes anxiety and panic symptoms are dangerous or bad or that you don’t want to have anxiety or panic? Your brain will get more anxious when it notices anxiety or anxious thoughts or anxiety sensations in your body.
