Chapter 3 : Panic Attack Is No Different From These Scenarios!
Have you been able to spot the similarities of the 5 different scenarios shown in chapter 2?
Not that tough, isn’t it?
But, do you know that panic attack itself have the exact similarities too?
But, wait, if it is the same, then why the heck panic attack is not happening during these different scenarios?
Let’s use one of the scenarios and do some analysis on it, and you will see why.
1. The Scenario
In the scenario, there is actually not much to be said or to be analyzed, as this is just an introduction to the two different scenarios that is happening to Sam, our main character here.
2. The Trigger
At this stage, the trigger of the whole event takes place.
In the panic attack case, Sam noticed about the possibility of not be able to get the tickets for his friends. Sam starts to feel the heat, results in stress & anxiety.
In the “Susan’s encounter” case, Sam noticed about Susan, and her smile. Sam got overwhelmed. Sam starts to feel lightheaded, as a result in excitement.
3. The Mind & The Body
This is where the initial body responses occurred, a direct result from what happened after the trigger.
Both panic attack & “Susan’s encounter” scenarios have the SAME PHYSICAL EFFECTS to Sam.
The body responded in the same way, where heart beat increased, starts to sweat, and slightly short of breath.
4. The FOCUS
This is the MOST IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE occur during the whole event. During this stage, the focus is the most critical element of all.
In the panic attack case, Sam starts to notice about the changes in his body, and he start to worry about his body reaction. He is now totally focusing on his body reaction.
However, in “Susan’s encounter” case, Sam is still very much focusing on Susan. He is still thinking about what to say, what to do. He didn’t even notice about what happen to his body.
5. Body Reaction Amplified
Regardless of what is going on to the mind, the body reactions actually are amplified. In both case, Sam will start to feel dizzy, heart pounding even faster, and his body shaking.
But, in panic attack case, because of Sam’s focus is all on his body, the anxiety level is heightened and this become an inner worsening cycle. Heightened Anxiety Greater Body Responses Even Higher Anxiety Worsen Body Responses …
6. After The Event
20 minutes later, all the abnormal body responses ended.
Again, the focus of the mind is critical in this case.
In “Susan’s encounter” case, Sam is still thinking about Susan, and he will live his life as he normally does.
But, in the panic attack case, some people will still think about the event over and over again. These people develop the fear of the event. They become anxious about when this will happen again.
The continuous fear and anxiety might eventually lead to panic disorder, something you & I do not want to see.
