Panic Attacks Causes – What is The Most Common Cause Of Panic Disorder?
September 17th, 2009
Panic attacks causes can vary and they do not necessarily have to stem from one big dramatic experience in a persons life. In todays world there seems to be so much stress and tension which exists in many different cultures and as a result there seems to be a large number of people that suffer from panic disorder.
Some of the most common causes of panic attacks are phobias, such as fear of public speaking, fear of large crowds, fear of driving or having an accident while driving. Sometimes this fear can be so strong and each time you come across the situation your fear escalates and can eventually lead to a full blown panic attack. Once that first panic attack occurs then there is a good chance that your fear of those situations increases as you now have the added fear of having another panic attack.

What exactly is a panic attack? Well here is the definition from Wikipedia…..
Panic attacks are very sudden, discrete periods of intense anxiety, mounting physiological arousal, fear, stomach problems and discomfort that are associated with a variety of somatic and cognitive symptoms. The onset of these episodes is typically abrupt, and may have no obvious triggers.

This works in many aspects of life and in fact many natural healers use this basic principle for healing – EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) is one such healing technique that uses the energy flow to heal ailments and while you are doing the technique you are focusing on the specific ailment you are trying to heal.
But as well as being beneficial for healing, the focus energy thing also works the other way around. If you are focusing on the negative then the energy will flow in that direction.
I know this happened to me the first time I had a panic attack. I remember that attack as if it were yesterday, I remember where I was, where I was sitting, the color of the chair I was sitting in and the features of the room I was in, these things are imprinted into my mind as it is something that was so frightening that I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.
