Do you fear a panic attack could strike at any moment?
Sometimes people have the impression that their experience of anxiety is like being hooked up to an electroshock machine and that it just takes a flick of the anxiety switch to cause a flood leading to a full blown panic attack.
People in this situation often feel that are lucky to make it through the day without that switch been flicked but in the back of their mind they fear that it could happen at any moment day or night. They remain on high alert anticipating it. Anticipating the big one!
In fact most people who experience panic attacks fear it in this manner. It is natural for people to think this way as often the panic attacks come forcefully out of the blue.
The truth of the situation is however different. A panic attack does not lurk in the background waiting to pounce, it can feel that way in your mind if you are anxious but that is not how it really works.
Panic attacks are actually something we decide to initiate when we feel out of control. It begins possibly with a skipped heart beat or tightness around the chest, it is then that your mind fires off a thought warning that these sensations are very unusual and signal a dangerous event that needs urgent medical attention or else…
The thought that triggers almost all panic attacks is :
“This is too much , I cannot handle this,” Then the adrenaline starts to really pump.
“Ah I was right look my body is going into a fit…
“I am terrified by what is about to happen…HELP,- PANIC… !”
The severity of the panic attack is directly related to how you are feeling at that time.
If you are exhausted physically, mentally or emotionally then you are more vulnerable to feeling anxious.
After the panic attack has run its course, it is followed by a prolonged period of general anxiety. During this time the person fears that the panic switch might go off again at any moment sending them into another tailspin of high anxiety.
When you feel this way it is very difficult to force a relaxed state of mind through will power (as some other methods would have you do).
So what can you do to stop the mind overreacting to these situations and not initiate the panic attack? Well most of this is about your mind reacting to false signals, so the trick is to train yourself to recognize these false signals for what they and thus shatter the illusion that there is a danger.
There is something very powerful in human psychology and that is the power of giving yourself totally to something. By that I mean, when we make a resolute decision to go for something results are immediate.
In this case you are going for the goal of an anxiety free life. You reach a point where you are completely fed up with this condition and that mindset can produce a real breakthrough. Remember anxiety holds us prisoner because we give it authority. We give it control because it threatens us with terror/death if we do not obey.
Turn this situation on its head. Really chase after the anxiety. It is the anticipation of having a panic attack that keeps you in a general state of anxiety, -so end the anticipation.
There is an element of throwing all caution to the wind to make this fully effective. You abandon yourself to the fear of a panic attack. Sometimes the best way is to get really mad at the terror and say:
“OK come on do your worst- and it better be very strong because I will not have this ruining the rest of my life”
“My life and the people in it are more important than this false fear could ever be, so do your worst because I have had enough.”
The minute you really throw yourself at a panic attack it disappears. It disappears because what was keeping it alive was your fear of having one.
Now you are not afraid in fact you are actually demanding to have a really Big Bad One NOW
DO that right now!
To make this really work you have to throw yourself at the anxiety 100%
-No coming back
Don’t worry about having an off the scale ‘gigantic’ panic attack. I bet you have already had the very worst panic attack you will ever experience again. That is because the worst panic attacks are generally always the first few as you have no idea at all what is happening to you.
Ignorance in those moments is not bliss.
What I am trying to say is that there is no ‘ultimate’ panic attack waiting in the background that will finally push you over the edge.
Trust and believe that you will always be able to handle the anxious sensations each and every time. You will.
What you get by following my advice is confidence that you can in fact easily handle the anxious sensations.
Confidence is so crucial to tackling this problem. Anxiety can be likened to a fog that we must travel through in order to move beyond the fear of what may be on the other side. When we fail to move through it, the fear will linger and limit us from achieving all the things we would like to accomplish with our lives.

Here is an example of how the full Panic Away course has helped others.
…learned more from reading your program than I did from all the psychologists and other practitioners I had seen in the 25 years- I must tell you that out of all the items you can purchase regarding anxiety related products on the Internet, I learned more from reading your program than I did from all the psychologists and other practitioners I had seen in the 25 years that I’ve had this condition. I had been on Xanax and Klonopin for about 10 years, but this December, I decided to withdraw from it thinking I didn’t need the pills anymore according to some of the programs I ordered claiming “miracle cures”. That’s when all my symptoms started again. I felt as if I had wasted the past 20 years trying to get better.That’s when I started searching the web for home based “cures”. I ordered so many programs I started to get confused from too much conflicting advice. Also, I was promised support but I am still waiting replies from some of the more expensive programs! You are a true gentleman, and I am going to post a very positive feedback on a website you might be familiar about called: Tapir?
Talk to ya, Andy

I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE TRYING EVERYTHING FROM PANIC SUPPORT CLASSES, MEDICATION, COUNSELING AND THE LIST GOES ON, ALL TO RID MYSELF OF PANIC ATTACKS. SOMETHING INSIDE ME SAID, JUST KEEP TRYING, SO I DID. AFTER 5 YEARS OF OF LIVING MY LIFE WITH THE WORLD ON MY SHOULDERS I AM EXCITED TO SAY THAT I AM NOW PANIC FREE. AFTER ONE TIME OF APPLYING YOUR ONE MOVE TECHNIQUE, I AM A NEW PERSON. ONE OF MY MANY FEARS THAT I DEVELOPED WAS DRIVING. AFTER READING YOUR PROGRAM AT 12.30 AT NIGHT I WROTE DOWN SOME QUICK NOTES FROM YOUR “ONE MOVE TECH.” I RAN OUT OF MY HOUSE AND DROVE TOWARD THE DARKEST SCARIEST ROAD WHERE NOBODY WAS NEAR BY.THIS WOULD DEFINITLY BRING ON AN FULL PANIC ATTACK, WHICH IT DID. WHILE LETTING MYSELF FEEL THE EMOTIONS RUN THROUGH ME, I DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO, I WAS SCARED AS HELL BUT STOOD MY GROUND. I INSTANTLY CALMED AND EVEN TRIED TO BRING THE ATTACK BACK ON, BUT COULD NOT. I LITTERALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND SAT IN MY TRUCK AMAZED. AFTER ALL THIS TIME THAT WAS ALL I HAD TO DO. THE COMPLETE OPPOSIT OF EVERYTHING THAT I WAS TOLD. THIS WHOLE WEEK I HAVE DRIVEN WHERE EVER I WANTED,AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR PROGRAM.

…I felt sooooo much better
I really appreciate being treated nicely over the internet for a change. Your book really helped me alot in a sence that I don’t fear those panic attacks anymore. The first time I started reading your book I was on an aeroplane and just before a panic attack as i was going to do a job in Switzerland and I didn’t know how is it going to go. As I read a couple of pages tears started coming down my face and I felt sooooo much better. I didn’t even mind the other people on the plane staring at me and wandering what I am reading… ______________________________________

barry, i am a person who has always had to deal with the stresses of life, pretty much by myself. the death of my husband-to-be when i was in my twenties. a marriage that was consumed by the alcoholism of my husband, and most recently the death of my mom, and the problems my son has been having dealing with his father, or lack of one and his own anxiety issues. so the anxiety of course has decided to take another prisoner. well, after coming across the website, and signing up for the e-mails, i am sure that i will “cut the head off the snake of fear” and bury it so that i can live my life out the way god has planned it and i can help my son to live his life to the fullest. thank you for showing so much concern for us fellow passengers on this journey we call life. i will be ordering your book soon but i do feel my confidence coming back with just the e-mails. i recommend this mans work to anyone who is a “prisoner”. BREAK FREE!!

I have suffered with panic attacks for 11 yrs now. Got my first one driving on the highway going 65mph in the middle lane so of course i have not been able to drive the highway or even something that lookes like a highway! And lately, 12 days ago, i developed them while driving home from work on the back roads. I drive an hour each way to work and back because of having to stick to the back roads, so now I’m basically screwed!. I started getting your mini courses and I want to thank you so much for them! I couldn’t believe something so simple would make any difference, but it does! Can’t afford the course right now (helping my son, daughter in law and their 3 kids, two of which are 2 yr old twins, who live with me). So these mini courses are a Godsend! Thank you so much. I truly feel like this terrible 11 yr old ride will finally end.
Many thanks!

Panic attacks is something that never occured to me. You can imagine how totally shooked up I was when I had one. I was totally in shock and that feeling of unease kept me captive for days.
One day I went to a yoga practise. We had to do exercises…the teacher said…and now you can ask something of great value, something you want badly. Just keep it to yourself and focus on it during the exercise. Now I ‘m not a big ‘believer’ but I told my greatest desire: I want to be calm again. I want to be myself again.
Later that evening when I arrived home, I googled ‘panic feelings’ and immediately…your site intrigued me.
Was it the answer from above ? I don’t know but it is a strange coincidence !
So I learned not to be afraid of fear anymore. I made huge steps forwards ! Thanks to you !
I also would add that doing sports is also a relief for your body. I didn’t do any sports for several months, but now I feel the benefit of swimming or just walking !
Thank you for everything. Greetings from Belgium !

Dear Barry : I bought your program some six months ago and thanks for the tips cause the results are fantastic. My anxiety started over ten years ago when I was 45 years old and at the time I thought I had heart problems and mercury poisoning from dentist fillings according to my holistic doctors. After going through years of cleansing programs with no improvements with my heart arithemic palpitations my GP suggested I see a shrink so I did. Turns out that all my problems were stress related and I was having anxiety related palpitations which gave me the cause but not the cure. As a result my GP gave me some ativan to calm me down and for once my heart problems seemed to be under control. As time went on it only seemed to be a bandade solution and then one day I had a blown out panic attack and rushed to the hospital cause of course I thought this is it . When the ER Doc told me that it was a panic attack all the fears started in like you explained and nobody had an answer other than you might need some other meds which I refused. Needless to say over the years I have tried lots of ways to improve the lack of confidence in my health and have had limited results until I read your site and bought your program.Thanks for the wake up call buddy cause you have given me many tools to move forward in life to remove fear and gain my confidence back . Understanding fear alone has been the greatest tool and once you tackle it head on you`re over the hump. Hope to meet up with you some day if you are ever in my neck of the woods cause once again there is pleasure in meeting people and sharing in stories. Ken

I want to thank you for caring for us I started having panic attacks 8 years ago when I was with my husband which I got them because I was always stressed because I was being abused mentally and physical but they stopped for 2 years which started again but worse its to where I think I forget to breathe and I try my best to get those thoughts out my head then I’ve noticed that everytime I burp all day my chances of getting an attack are higher Im just tired of feeling this way and at the moment I do not have any money because I do not have a job but as soon as I do I will buy the program thank you again for listening to us.
uwa
I cannot remember when last I felt this good and laughed so hard from knowing that I was not having a heart attack or stroke, knowing that other people suffer these same too. Am very relieved to know that am not dying. I feel better already but still worried that it might be short lived.
I pray that I get money soon to order your email but meanwhile I have enjoyed your mini mails. Pray that we all get solutions to our problems through this programme. Thank you so much.
Long-time Sufferer
Hi there,
Thank you for your information, any bit is helpful in overcoming anxiety. I’ve struggled with major anxiety since the beginning of 2006 and had to drop out of university right away because of major panic attacks one after another. At that time I wish I had the ONE first free newsletter on not fearing panic attacks because I got so lost in them without knowing what was wrong with me. Since then just this year (6 years later) I’ve been diagnosed with GAD, PD and a little bit of PTSD. I was recommended to see a PTS counsellor and the interesting thing was most of my PTS came simply do
Panic attacks and anxiety itself and the fear that accompanied it. In reading many ppl’s comments it seems most people major on thinking something is wrong with their health & body but for me from the very beginning I worried about if I was going psychotic and losing my mind. Since then one of my biggest triggers and fears is struggling with mental illness and dysfunctional lives as a result. Everytime i see or hear of people losing control and losing things/family that are important to them as a result of dysfunctional behavior. This now continues to be my biggest fear and as a result I have GAD with continued underlying fears of destruction, loss, and dysfunction. That is how my anxiety manifests. For me I have learnt to deal better with anxiety attacks but my biggest struggle is the ongoing troubling thoughts day to day about myself and where I could end up, losing control, and lack of confidence in my own abilities to cope. Also when I see others or difficult hurtful circumstances of loss & pain I picture myself there. THOSE are the things I don’t know how to deal with, the difficult thoughts. How do I overcome those ongoing nagging destructive thoughts?
Patty
Confident people have anxiety too.
The fear that the life you love and thoroughly enjoy may somehow go away does this for me.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I believe it was my missing piece.

Hi Barry,have had severe GAD since july 2011 and i feel i have been living in someone else’s body.Everyday is a battle to get through and i constantly look at the clock wishing it to be bedtime so i can lie down.I feel i have stolen almost a year from my daughters life as i am too afraid to go out.I hope to purchase your book in the next few weeks as i am broke and jobless at the moment but i have cried reading your emails because i have felt so alone with this horrible sickness or whatever u may call it.Thank u so much for the really helpful emails.I am really excited for the first time ina long time that i am going to recover from this …thank you 🙂
Prahlad Lamsal
I m really happy that I found your website. It is really helping me. Something methods like not reacting to the panic attack or thinking that other things are more important than the panic attack really helps. Thanks a lot for your helping ideas.
tin2
after reading just ur first and 2nd letter…i am a;ready awakened that my situation now is just caused by the fear in my mind…when in fact i shouldn’t….im so thankful for ur letters because it is really effective…please always send me letters…i really want to feel good and have a normal life again…God bless.
Marie
I literally felt a panic attack come on about ten mins ago, throat felt like it was closing in, sweaty palms, the usual but hadn’t got to the shakes etc but i normally do! Anyway tried straight away your teachings and genuinely got angry at the bloody thing ha and i mean within 3 minutes it had gone! I felt i could breathe freely and I’m now writing this panic and shake free! It’s the first time i’ve tried this and already it worked!
I cried a little….it’s a big step though! THANK YOU 🙂
Alfie..
As well as the brilliant advice/information Barry is conveying on his webpages I am also reminded of Yongey Mingur Rinpoche – ‘The Joy of Living’ which is a fantastic book about a young Buddhist who suffered from panic attacks as a boy. Yongey Mingur also has clips on YouTube talking about how to deal with Panic/Anxiety. Like Barry explains in this newsletter about saying to your Panic/Anxiety when it manifests itself is to say ‘Come on – do your worst’ i.e. I accept these thoughts/feelings come to me – I am not afraid of it anymore. Or, as Yongey Mingur explains in his YouTube clips ‘I am the boss not you (the panic/anxiety)’. I have tried this technique when I begin to feel worked up, heaviness in the chest, thoughts racing and simply say to it ‘I accept these thoughts/feelings – come to me and pass through’. Once you have done this the thoughts/feelings seem to diminish because you have not created fear of them but accepted them and they simply pass through. I would like to thank Barry for being one of the 1st to finally bring to the fore simple, workable techniques in overcoming Panic/Anxiety. As Barry says you do need to persistent and try different things to ensure you live your life to the best of your abilities. Never give up!
