Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Anxiety is an imagination problem. When things seem a certain way, or when
the idea of safety and security is missing, or when fears are present, a
person suffers anxiety. When the sufferer feels he is in control of his
world and things are going well, and will continue to go well, the anxiety
ceases, much to his enormous relief. The problem is how to get the mind, the
imagination, to perceive a safe, comfortable world where everything is
doable and easy.
An anxiety attack resembles a heart attack in many ways, and many men have
assumed they were having a heart attack only to be embarrassed to discover
it was only an anxiety attack. A panic attack is when a person is suddenly
overcome with intense fear, usually imagining something terrible is about to
happen. It can seem like a clear premonition at times, and then once safely
at home, the realisation that there was no danger after all dawns on the
confused sufferer.
Most sufferers have no idea why they are suffering or how it happens to
them, and the self condemnation, confusion and inconvenience only serves to
make the problem worse. ‘Help! I’m Going Crazy!’ covers all the skills and
mental functioning training required to live life free of anxiety and panic

your imagination invariably finds much more helpful ways to express its
self.
