This is understandable, and each time you manage it you will feel a little more<br>confident. The trouble is, deep down, you will still be afraid of having another panic attack.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you really need is to unlearn that fear \u2013 can you imagine how it would feel, if you could shrug and say \u2018let the panic come, it doesn\u2019t bother me?\u2019<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This leads to a two-pronged approach to exposure work for panic. You should follow the pattern of setting goals that are arranged with increasing difficulty<a href=\"http:\/\/www.anxiety.com\" title=\"\">,<\/a> and you should start work on them in the hope that you won\u2019t have a panic attack while you\u2019re doing the easiest ones and<br>building your confidence.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At some point though, you will start to work yourself a little harder, and then you might well have a panic attack. You will need to know how to cope \u2013 because you can cope, even though at the moment you think that you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exposure for panic attacks in anxiety.
