The worst is having them while driving...you are stuck and have to focus to stay safe. It is one of the most suffocating feelings... This video is awesome, thank you❤️
I cured my panic disorder in large part thanks to this video. Watching it for the first time, I realized that my clinical psychologist, my CBT books, all of my panic attack research, etc. were all saying the same thing! You just said it best and everything finally “clicked” for me! I’ve been living panic-free since 2017 :) Thank you a million times over!!
I have been diagnosed with panic disorder and experience panic attacks at work often. I get dizzy, feel faint, tight chest, tingling in hands and feet, tight abs , rapid heartbeat you name it. This video was calming and inspirational. Thank you my friend!
I just had a panic attack for an hour straight. I think your techniques are going to help me tremendously. It’s so tiring being in panic attack mode. I always feel like I’m dying during it lol
hi sir, I'm having a panic attack while watching this video until you say "let the time pass and just accept it" now i'm much more calmer and have a smile on my face. It was a really helpful video thank you very much sir. i am sorry , my english is not perfect but i hope you guys understand it
Just had my first panic attack a few weeks ago and it’s been non stop since, even went to the hospital looking for answers and ways to calm myself down. everything they told me did help calm the panic attack but it never got rid of it, just pushed it aside. Now when he told me to encourage my panic attack and just go with it, guess what happened? NOTHING!! I could not get myself to panic, or get my heart rate up at all, I was so calm trying to force a panic attack I couldn’t believe it. It’s like I’m not scared of it anymore, I’m not getting anxiety thinking about it, this video is a Godsend 🙏
It feels so good to read comments like this. They reassure me I'm not alone. Symptoms create anxiety, anxiety creates more symptoms. It's a vicious cycle. Also in an off and on attack right now, but I feel better already. The voice is so relaxing, typing this is relaxing. reading people having the exact same problem as me is reassuring.
I have had severe anxiety for over 9 years, and this is a beautiful video. I love your energy, you are clearly meant for helping people in this world who are either sensitive, anxious, depressed , suicidal, etc. Thank you for bringing in such healing energy into this world. You have helped more people than you know, and may God bless you to have the power and good health to keep up the good work.
I've played many sports Football, rugby boxing etc and through all the bruses sprains a few broken and dislocated bones having a panic attack is by far the most painful thing I've ever felt. Whoever goes through this I hope you get well. Just know you are not in this alone💯
Hi. Coming back to this 4 years later. Thank you so much for the videos and help. You helped me through it when I was at my lowest, and felt alone. I first started experiencing panic attacks in 2017 every single day and it really ruined my life. I thought I would never recover and the help in my country was terrible. I remember finding these videos, and it really helped me during the worst period of my entire life. The two things that helped me the most was the advice that: 1) Panic attacks can't kill you My main fear was that I was going to die, because that's what it felt like. 2) I am strong Being told I was strong for going through and dealing with what I was dealing with made my cry with emotions. It was hard, but I had never had anyone tell me I was strong for being able to go through what I was going through. That helped me a lot in a way I can't describe. I haven't had a panic attack in over 2 years. I used medication for 1 month, which helped me through the worst of my condition. I was self medicating on weed for a long time too, but I realised, that was a major cause of my anxiety and would trigger attacks too (of course...) So I did end up quitting, and that was basically the end of my condition. I do still get anxious from time to time, but I have learnt to manage and deal with it. I have breathing techniques which work for me, and I use CBD oil to calm my nerves. CBD oil is another godsend that has helped me live happily when I experience anxiety. I thought the rest of my life would be cursed, but I was able to recover, and I can happily say I am panic free! Anyone reading this, you can too! You will find out what works for you!
Hearing that a panic attack isn’t an attack helps SO much. Edit : I’m kinda terrified to try to make the false alarm stronger in fear that it’ll actually get stronger. Anyone else? Has it worked for anyone?
You're doing all of this just to help others you can't see and don't know. Panic leaves me feeling alone and helpless, but you have changed that with this video. Thank you so much for caring about the lost and scared souls like me out there.
Seriously, I have no idea which gods have send you on Earth, but you are truly inspiration and healing factor. Your voice is soothing and even while actively panicking I am completely focused on your voice and information you are sharing. Thank you so much for your work. Please keep it up, you make world a better place 💕
Ive been in waves of panic for over 12 hrs. I've barely slept because ive been waking up in panic. Considering going to urgent care if it doesnt stop. But toward the end of the video i felt so relaxed my eyes started closing. Maybe i can finally get sleep and it will pass. Thank you
It’s been two weeks I couldn’t sleep at all. But because of your wise words in this video, I instantly changed the way I was thinking. And yesterday, I had an amazing deep sleep. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. 👍👍👍👍Please make more videos like this one.
I cried watching tip no 2 to deal with panic attack.I realized I have been fighting too long. This clicks somewhere and feels liberating somehow. I am crying watching this.Thank you so much.
I’m in bed right now, I have been trying to sleep for 2 hours and I’m in tears because I can’t stop having an attack and this video is literally a godsent, only video iv come across that’s really calmed me down and made me understand, for anyone who truly struggles with anxiety and attacks will love you so much for this, I’m so grateful and will continue to watch your videos, it’s one of the worst feelings any person can have, especially when you struggle with it everyday but we will all get through this, it’s just a phase it will pass ❤️
Currently having a 2 day long attack (chest tightness, dizziness, numbness in the legs) and this has helped me tone it down so much so thank you for this I may actually sleep tonight!! :)
I've had panic attacks for more than six years now, tried a lot of methods, medicine etc, and I've seen sooo many panic attack related videos on youtube, but damn, this is good. I just spent five hours with a severe one, this took me back to sanity. Thank you so much.
Sobbing. I have been so terrified and forever changed since I ended up in the ER after my first panic attack last summer. I was convinced I was having a heart attack or dying. I've had at least 10 more since and have been living in so much fear, shame and confusion. So much terror at the thought of having another one. I finally feel like I have real understanding of what's been happening to me. Thank you for your work and for this video.
WOW!! This is fantastic.. I have anxiety first time everr in my life and now I’m On anti depressant because it was getting worse! I HOPE THIS WILL HELP ❤
Thank you so much for this, I was at a point where I just cried all day cause I felt like my panic attacks would never stop. The first time I used this technique was in a meeting when I felt one coming and I couldn’t believe it actually worked, I was so happy. I did this for over 2 months and after a while I just stopped getting them. If it wasn’t for this I really don’t know how I’d be so just thank you so so much.
I overcame Panic Disorder 4 years ago naturally, and I wished you were around back then to make things easier for me because this video by far has been the best video to understand your panic attack and how to how about it.
I’ve been having bad panic attacks since February. I can write a whole novel about my life. I’ve been hurt by so many people including my own mom. I was once a rich kid that had everything and had all the friends in the world. My dad dropped out of high school and was made fun of a lot. My dad once told me money never changes you but it does change the people around you. My dad and mom got divorced and my dad lost everything but his faith. He was poor again as he was growing up. My dad has always been there for me and never lets me fail. I’ve been judged by everyone I meet because they find out I’m 23 and I still have my dad help me pay bills and won’t let me fail. I have a 7 month old son now and I’m working on curing these panic attacks so I can enjoy my life with my son and girlfriend. I was scared to ask for help until my counselor showed me this video and it made me smile. Thank you so much for putting this content and not charging people to watch the video. Your a angel that god sent to help us with anxiety and panic attacks.
I just cried my hart out❤....all these years living in fear...and pain, butt it was possible to cure. ❤❤❤ thankyou for you teaching. G'd bless you. Love from Amsterdam❤❤❤
I agree. I have been researching for years and have tried hundreds of meditations and psychologists on you tube. plus multiple like 20 personal psychologists CBT made me worse. My partner and father and pet all died within a month leaving me bedridden for months. I had panic attacks at the thought of getting up to make a cup of tea. For Two weeks I've been listening every morning every night to your deep relaxation video plus any time in between i feel any anxiety. I've listened to ever thing on your channel plus panic free TV multiple times. For the first time in 15 years I'm starting to have an entire day I don't feel anxious. It's like having a holiday. Thank you sooooooo Much Michael. Please please post more you tube videos. Xxxxxx Trudy
Amazing video! Does someone else feels the chest heavy or still feel some kind of breathing difficulty for a few days after an attack?? Is that normal afterwards??
These videos has changed my life. I've been suffering of panic attacks for years. Thank you Michael. I want everyone to know about your wonderful work.
I have panic patterns all the time due to worries that cause a fast heart rate and then the fast heart rate causes the anxiety. This video has helped me understand my anxiety a lot better. Thank you soo much I hope my anxiety circle goes soon
I’m currently working in another country and I keep finding it hard to take a deep breath due to panic and worry. This video has really helped calm me down tonight as I had a hard time breathing. Thank you. I have always found it very hard to cope and always feel I’m on this journey alone. I just wish I new why it happened. I have a good life however, suffered with this daily for years. Maybe I over think too much
A godsend video, I've struggled for weeks now with health anxiety. When you mentioned being scared of your own heartbeat, that hit home for me. I come to this video everytime I begin to get overwhelmed and start panicking. Slow smooth voice, logic, and intuitive counter measures make this video a hit. Thank you! And I really mean it, thank you for uploading!
It's kind of hilarious how you cover the fast heart beat as a trigger for panic if you're afraid of that, as your very first example. I have really high blood pressure, and the only panic attacks I've ever had were related directly to my concern for my heart. You also mention how not knowing what's happening, the confusion of that, can intensify the experience. Nailed it on that one too. I definitely thought I was going to die several times, and had lingering anxiety that lead to even more panic attacks. Eventually, somehow, I ran into the concept of panic attacks online and how they can affect you physiologically. That knowledge broke the cycle, eventually. It took me a long time, like months, to convince myself I actually wasn't going to die. Even the obvious fact that I hadn't died so far, through all my intense suffering and concern, did not calm me. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. But, I'm kind of glad I went though the experience. I learned a lot.
Hah, that amazing. Clair Weeks said it takes months to desensitize the body. God I wish I'd known all this stuff.. I just had to take it on faith that I wasn't going to die, and hang on until my mind returned to normal. If anyone who's having panic attacks is watching this, please, do exactly what's outlined here. You'll continue to suffer for awhile, but eventually, you will become yourself again.
I used to be much worse with anxiety, panic attacks and avoidance behaviour. These techniques are slowly but surely, becoming a game changer for me. It takes a combination of techniques, to help me the most, but it always eventually, does the job!
The counter intuitive worked for me instantly I called my anxiety a lil bitch and asked for everything thing it can throw at me and it went away instantly and i mock myself and it makes me laugh
Haven-t had panic attacks for about 15 years after first having them as a teen but fell back into having them about 2 months ago. I just finished work and was very tired after only 4 hours sleep due to anxiety. I lay on the bed and started to feel anxious again, worse than in work because I find work distracts me. I watched this video and have just woken up after a fantastic 15 minute siesta, thank you so much. I am heading to your website now.
I just want to say I’m 16 years old just recently experiencing panic “attacks” and disorder and this video has really made me re think a lot of my actions in such a great way thank you so much for posting this video and inspiring me to look at panic is a whole brand new way! ❤️
Really grateful I came across your video! I was rushed on the ER last month and thought that I am sick but all the lab results tell me otherwise. I got my panic attack thinking that I am sick due to crash dieting. Now I am 100% aware that I am not sick but ever since then I started having attack out of nowhere. I learned a lot from your video and would like to learn more. I am here because I wanna stop having attacks, and I think stressing myself to fight my anxiety just really make It worse. The counter-intuitive technique really does work for me. Thank you so much for this video! You are such a blessing from God!
Thanks for sharing such a useful video... i have watched a number of videos to overcome my panic attacks, which are terrible😓 i am a 27 yr old mother who is currently suffering from panic attack and anxiety. I hope i will get recover soon with your idea of accepting the attacks. I thankyou from the bottom of my heart. All the best for all who r trying to overcome panic attacks. May Almighty help us to get out of this worst experience🙏🏻
I want to thank you so much for this video. It helped me soooo much. My brother who had muscular dystrophy passed away last Friday. I took care of him all his life. When I lost him it hit me big. I thought I was going crazy. My anxiety sent my thoughts into dark areas and I thought I was losing my mind. This was a god sent. I felt all my worries leave me. All the thanks in the world could never show how much a really appreciate you and this video.
Before coronavirus outbreak I had maybe 2 panic attack in my life (I'm 22). Now during self-isolation i started having them more often. I've watched alot of videos and read alot about panic attacks, because I want to learn what is happening to me and they only gave me anxiety. This is the first time i feel calm when I'm learning about panic attacks. Thank you very much.
I have been using meditation and mindfulness to stop anxiety and panic attacks, which helped a lot, but it wasn`t 100%, now I understand how this vicious cicle works, I actually never realized that that`s exaclty how all of my panic attacks happend, it started with a physical sansation that then would feed anxiety and vice versa, amazing video you really helped me!
I live with panic attacks more than 2 years now. Also have insomnia a fear of the future, fear of living alone, fear of ending a relationship I don't want to be in. Thank you so much for your work, Michael. Your voice is so soothing ❤️✨
I had a panic attack last night I've only had one before and I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital it seemed like it lasted forever because I was trying to fight it but now I know what to do thank you
Coming off the effects of a panic attack right now and this video for sure helped! I think a lot of my anxiety comes from my health and my families health even though I'm would say I'm "healthy". My family has a history of diabetes, heart disease, strokes, you name it. And when I start feeling the symptoms of having a tight chest, shortness of breath, I start to go in full panic mode thinking I'm dying and then convince myself I'm having a heart attack and start mimicking the symptoms of a heart attack. It's not fun but thank you for sharing facts! They truly helped and I'm feeling optimistic about slowly overcoming these attacks! If anyone needs to vent or chat my inbox is always open, we can do this everyone!
your the best and after having my first panic attack today where my hands cramped and contorted. i was scared and thought i would die today. i watched another video before this and i didnt like it. because in my state your reassuring voice is already helping me a lot thanks.
I recently faced severe panic attacks which worsened my digestive system as well and my exams are ongoing so I am having even more panic to do better in exams and not fall sick during this time period. I was really scared of the attacks reappearing but thanks to your video, you have so simply put it into words that now I don't fear panic attacks as much as I did earlier. I feel better now. I'm watching this to calm myself before going to bed. Thank you for explaining so well sir! I hope to get better at dealing my panic attacks :)
I’ve been suffering from constant “false alarms” after the recent birth of my baby. This video has helped me understand why I get them, why it makes sense, and that there is nothing dangerous going on. Watching this video has already made a big difference in my life. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much you have helped me to calm down this is my 6th panic attack in 10 days, I feel so much better there has been nothing so far to calm me down like this thank you 🙏🏻
Incredible.. I was literally having a panic "attack" when I reluctantly open this video cause I thought watching it was just going to increase it or make it worse. I watched the first couple of minutes and BOOM IT VANISHED! Can't believe it! Thank you so much you gain yourself a need follower, keep it UP!
I just found your videos this morning, i've been going though the worst time of my life. Been having so many panic attacks, anxiety sitting there waiting to happen, having trouble sleeping and feeling like I'm going crazy. I listened to your deep relaxation hypnosis for stress relief, anxiety relief and instant calm this morning it felt amazing that I cried. I'm watching this video and you are helping me so much deeply, thank you so much.
I will keep you updated! I just had my first panic attack 2 days ago! it was terrible. I still can feel but i will keep your advices in my head. Thanks !
You ‘ ll never know how much your video has enlightened me.I have been suffering from panic attacks my whole life and can no longer seem able to cope. Thank you so much God bless you and your work. I would love to avail of your other series . I know thatfinally I have found hope.
been going on and off for 17 hours now. this video is helping and the comments seeing other people are experiencing the exact same thing and i’m not alone.
Im so happy this video been diagnosed with anxiety attack. And to think that anxiety wont make you go crazy . this video is so positive . thank you very much!
Thank you for helping me take the shame and embarrassment away from how I have been feeling. This has really been an eye opener. I believe life can and will get brighter.
What an absolutely calming voice you have. I could listen to it all day. I have always been afraid of men and their loud voices and so I react with "panic attacks" to them. Thank you for supplying this very necessary information for understanding the root cause and its cure. I feel much relieved that there is hope for me at 74.
Thank you! I just experienced my second false alarm. It definitely helped me out control it. I went to the ER twice this past week and they told me i had to relax and breathe .. but your video definitely helped me control it. 🙏🏼 thank you
You explain this very well! I've been getting panic attacks for a few years now. At first I was sure I was having a heart attack. Knowing that heart issues run in my family made it worse. I got checked out thoroughly and they said my heart was perfectly fine. Even now though, the thought crosses my mind and makes it worse.
Thank you so much!! I loved the video. I've have had sever anxiety and panic for years and my biggest struggle is the fear of having a panic attack when I face something that will trigger it. I find myself avoiding those situation and limiting my potential. I feel like I will have a attack in front of a patient and not be able to run and calm down. It is ruining the quality of my life. I have realized when meditating when I accept the energy I am feeling in my body it does subside, so I love that advice because it is sooo true!
Yes the paradoxical approach definitely worked for me yesterday! I just let myself feel the rapid thumping of my heart and thoughts go in and out of my head and let the tingling build up in my hands and feet; and then i try tell my brain to make these feelings stronger, and strangely enough it causes them to go down. I felt so scared before, but now I feel more in control of my mind and body. The strange thing about anxiety is, it comes out of nowhere. Idk what triggers it at times, but just allowing myself to feel it for a dreadful few moments, and then telling my mind to make it worse, helped to normalize me again and feel sane. So, thank you for the video!
After a panic attack which i had 8 months ago, i have dizziness every day. Its not the clasic vertigo, but it s a strânge dizziness. Its like i am moving, not the room.
I honestly can’t thank you enough!! Panic attacks are honestly the worst thing that can happen to anybody I don’t even wish it on my worst enemy... this video is sensational!!!
After watching this, it has helped me realize it's okay to have it. I've been fighting it when I had it all wrong! I do feel like this advice will help me greatly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Last week I ran my first 5k without stopping and all the time I could hear the voice in my head saying that I can do it. Forwago, thank you so much for everything!!
I was honestly thinking this video would be another video that wouldn't help me. But boy was I wrong! I have thankfully only been suffering from panic and severe anxiety for a few weeks but it has changed me. This video has also changed me. In the best way! Thanks SO much for this incredible information. The "make it worse " scenario gave me the most perspective! brilliant.
Thanks for this video, I’ve been having one everyday. I went to the ER and got $17,000 bill and they found nothing. Even my labs where good yet I thought I was either having a heart attack or a stroke. My heart rate was up and my blood pressure was up a little so they knew something was going on. I had no clue what a panic attack was until a coworker told that she gets them too and sound like a panic attack. She lead me to your channel. I have tried your techniques and I can’t thank you enough.
i cried. i cried because for once i really feel like someone is putting me at ease. it's really difficult living in fear all day every day
The worst is having them while driving...you are stuck and have to focus to stay safe. It is one of the most suffocating feelings... This video is awesome, thank you❤️
I cured my panic disorder in large part thanks to this video. Watching it for the first time, I realized that my clinical psychologist, my CBT books, all of my panic attack research, etc. were all saying the same thing!

I’m so happy to hear that Mckenzie. Thanks for letting me know!
I have been diagnosed with panic disorder and experience panic attacks at work often. I get dizzy, feel faint, tight chest, tingling in hands and feet, tight abs , rapid heartbeat you name it. This video was calming and inspirational. Thank you my friend!
You’re welcome! I’m glad you sound this inspiring and valuable
Panic Attack is the worst thing that can happen to anybody, I get one every week, This video may just change my life. THANK YOU!
I just had a panic attack for an hour straight. I think your techniques are going to help me tremendously. It’s so tiring being in panic attack mode. I always feel like I’m dying during it lol
Seriously calling it a “false alarm” and not a “panic attack” already calms me! So crazy, that changing words can make a difference
hi sir, I'm having a panic attack while watching this video until you say "let the time pass and just accept it" now i'm much more calmer and have a smile on my face. It was a really helpful video thank you very much sir. i am sorry , my english is not perfect but i hope you guys understand it

Your voice is so soothing. I swear, some people explaining these kind of stuff literally give me panic attacks with all the screaming.
Thanks!
In the middle of an on and off attack right now. It’s scary but I’m fighting it. This video is helpful
It feels so good to read comments like this. They reassure me I'm not alone. Symptoms create anxiety, anxiety creates more symptoms. It's a vicious cycle. Also in an off and on attack right now, but I feel better already. The voice is so relaxing, typing this is relaxing. reading people having the exact same problem as me is reassuring.
I’m watching this while having a panic attack.. you really helped me calm down and smile 😊 thank you so much

I feel like I'm having gas and I'm not able to breathe which gets me panic attack
My fear is I’m gonna lose my mind and I spiral out of control with unrealistic thoughts

My dad has always been there for me and never lets me fail. I’ve been judged by everyone I meet because they find out I’m 23 and I still have my dad help me pay bills and won’t let me fail. I have a 7 month old son now and I’m working on curing these panic attacks so I can enjoy my life with my son and girlfriend. I was scared to ask for help until my counselor showed me this video and it made me smile. Thank you so much for putting this content and not charging people to watch the video. Your a angel that god sent to help us with anxiety and panic attacks.
I just cried my hart out❤....all these years living in fear...and pain, butt it was possible to cure. ❤❤❤ thankyou for you teaching. G'd bless you. Love from Amsterdam❤❤❤
I just experienced a panic attack, I thought I was dying but your video made it clear that I wasn't. It inspired me a lot thanks to you 🙏
I agree.
I have been researching for years and have tried hundreds of meditations and psychologists on you tube. plus multiple like 20 personal psychologists CBT made me worse.
My partner and father and pet all died within a month leaving me bedridden for months.
I had panic attacks at the thought of getting up to make a cup of tea.
For Two weeks I've been listening every morning every night to your deep relaxation video plus any time in between i feel any anxiety.
I've listened to ever thing on your channel plus panic free TV multiple times.
For the first time in 15 years I'm starting to have an entire day I don't feel anxious.
It's like having a holiday.
Thank you sooooooo Much Michael.
Please please post more you tube videos.
Xxxxxx Trudy
Amazing video! Does someone else feels the chest heavy or still feel some kind of breathing difficulty for a few days after an attack?? Is that normal afterwards??
This is very helpful during self-isolation due to the Coronavirus pandemic
This pandemic is messing me up. I got my first panic attack. Very traumatizing. But trust me guys its not harmful. Just relax
These videos has changed my life. I've been suffering of panic attacks for years. Thank you Michael. I want everyone to know about your wonderful work.
Bro I almost died from panic attack 2 hours ago and seeingthis video make me feel better and sleep quite ... I love you 😊
I have panic patterns all the time due to worries that cause a fast heart rate and then the fast heart rate causes the anxiety. This video has helped me understand my anxiety a lot better. Thank you soo much I hope my anxiety circle goes soon
I’m currently working in another country and I keep finding it hard to take a deep breath due to panic and worry.
This video has really helped calm me down tonight as I had a hard time breathing.
Thank you.
I have always found it very hard to cope and always feel I’m on this journey alone.
I just wish I new why it happened. I have a good life however, suffered with this daily for years.
Maybe I over think too much
This video did immediately calm me down. Thank you soooooooo much for creating and sharing this video !!!
A godsend video, I've struggled for weeks now with health anxiety. When you mentioned being scared of your own heartbeat, that hit home for me. I come to this video everytime I begin to get overwhelmed and start panicking. Slow smooth voice, logic, and intuitive counter measures make this video a hit. Thank you! And I really mean it, thank you for uploading!
It's kind of hilarious how you cover the fast heart beat as a trigger for panic if you're afraid of that, as your very first example. I have really high blood pressure, and the only panic attacks I've ever had were related directly to my concern for my heart. You also mention how not knowing what's happening, the confusion of that, can intensify the experience. Nailed it on that one too. I definitely thought I was going to die several times, and had lingering anxiety that lead to even more panic attacks. Eventually, somehow, I ran into the concept of panic attacks online and how they can affect you physiologically. That knowledge broke the cycle, eventually. It took me a long time, like months, to convince myself I actually wasn't going to die. Even the obvious fact that I hadn't died so far, through all my intense suffering and concern, did not calm me.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone. But, I'm kind of glad I went though the experience. I learned a lot.
Hah, that amazing. Clair Weeks said it takes months to desensitize the body. God I wish I'd known all this stuff.. I just had to take it on faith that I wasn't going to die, and hang on until my mind returned to normal. If anyone who's having panic attacks is watching this, please, do exactly what's outlined here. You'll continue to suffer for awhile, but eventually, you will become yourself again.
This brings me relief because I have panic attacks due to the same fears.
I used to be much worse with anxiety, panic attacks and avoidance behaviour. These techniques are slowly but surely, becoming a game changer for me. It takes a combination of techniques, to help me the most, but it always eventually, does the job!
The counter intuitive worked for me instantly I called my anxiety a lil bitch and asked for everything thing it can throw at me and it went away instantly and i mock myself and it makes me laugh
Haven-t had panic attacks for about 15 years after first having them as a teen but fell back into having them about 2 months ago. I just finished work and was very tired after only 4 hours sleep due to anxiety. I lay on the bed and started to feel anxious again, worse than in work because I find work distracts me. I watched this video and have just woken up after a fantastic 15 minute siesta, thank you so much. I am heading to your website now.
I just want to say I’m 16 years old just recently experiencing panic “attacks” and disorder and this video has really made me re think a lot of my actions in such a great way thank you so much for posting this video and inspiring me to look at panic is a whole brand new way! ❤️
I am having a panic attack rn and this is actually helping. Knowing that even other do have these “problems” is reassuring.
Does anyone else find his voice calming?
Video was made 3 years ago but still worth watching. Thank God for creating you.
Really grateful I came across your video! I was rushed on the ER last month and thought that I am sick but all the lab results tell me otherwise. I got my panic attack thinking that I am sick due to crash dieting. Now I am 100% aware that I am not sick but ever since then I started having attack out of nowhere. I learned a lot from your video and would like to learn more. I am here because I wanna stop having attacks, and I think stressing myself to fight my anxiety just really make It worse. The counter-intuitive technique really does work for me. Thank you so much for this video! You are such a blessing from God!
You’re welcome Josah!
Thanks for sharing such a useful video... i have watched a number of videos to overcome my panic attacks, which are terrible😓
i am a 27 yr old mother who is currently suffering from panic attack and anxiety. I hope i will get recover soon with your idea of accepting the attacks. I thankyou from the bottom of my heart. All the best for all who r trying to overcome panic attacks. May Almighty help us to get out of this worst experience🙏🏻
Man.... that smoke alarm analogy is brilliant.
I’m glad it resonates with you Shawn
I want to thank you so much for this video. It helped me soooo much. My brother who had muscular dystrophy passed away last Friday. I took care of him all his life. When I lost him it hit me big. I thought I was going crazy. My anxiety sent my thoughts into dark areas and I thought I was losing my mind. This was a god sent. I felt all my worries leave me. All the thanks in the world could never show how much a really appreciate you and this video.
My panic attacks are starting to take over my life. I have so many things going on in my life and my body is in overdrive .These videos really help
Before coronavirus outbreak I had maybe 2 panic attack in my life (I'm 22). Now during self-isolation i started having them more often. I've watched alot of videos and read alot about panic attacks, because I want to learn what is happening to me and they only gave me anxiety. This is the first time i feel calm when I'm learning about panic attacks. Thank you very much.
Currently having my fourth panic attack in the past 6 hours this helped a little bit and I’m very thankful that this is available.
You are an angel in disguise. Your energy and compassion are so precious. You’re a beautiful soul.
Had a panic attack yesternight..I'm a student nurse and what I experienced made me nervous and overwhelmed..thanks, I think I just found the solution
I have been using meditation and mindfulness to stop anxiety and panic attacks, which helped a lot, but it wasn`t 100%, now I understand how this vicious cicle works, I actually never realized that that`s exaclty how all of my panic attacks happend, it started with a physical sansation that then would feed anxiety and vice versa, amazing video you really helped me!
Thanks Rodolfo, I’m so glad to hear this helped you!
I have never commented on a RUclips video before but I am so grateful for this video thank you
I live with panic attacks more than 2 years now. Also have insomnia a fear of the future, fear of living alone, fear of ending a relationship I don't want to be in.
Thank you so much for your work, Michael. Your voice is so soothing ❤️✨
I had a panic attack last night I've only had one before and I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital it seemed like it lasted forever because I was trying to fight it but now I know what to do thank you
Coming off the effects of a panic attack right now and this video for sure helped! I think a lot of my anxiety comes from my health and my families health even though I'm would say I'm "healthy". My family has a history of diabetes, heart disease, strokes, you name it. And when I start feeling the symptoms of having a tight chest, shortness of breath, I start to go in full panic mode thinking I'm dying and then convince myself I'm having a heart attack and start mimicking the symptoms of a heart attack. It's not fun but thank you for sharing facts! They truly helped and I'm feeling optimistic about slowly overcoming these attacks! If anyone needs to vent or chat my inbox is always open, we can do this everyone!
your the best and after having my first panic attack today where my hands cramped and contorted. i was scared and thought i would die today. i watched another video before this and i didnt like it. because in my state your reassuring voice is already helping me a lot thanks.
You are really a heaven sent,I was suffocating and lost all the hope but now I will stand with my two feet,
I recently faced severe panic attacks which worsened my digestive system as well and my exams are ongoing so I am having even more panic to do better in exams and not fall sick during this time period. I was really scared of the attacks reappearing but thanks to your video, you have so simply put it into words that now I don't fear panic attacks as much as I did earlier. I feel better now. I'm watching this to calm myself before going to bed. Thank you for explaining so well sir! I hope to get better at dealing my panic attacks :)
Im in the middle of panic attack and stuggling to fall asleep. But this video helped me calm myself. Thank you
I’ve been suffering from constant “false alarms” after the recent birth of my baby. This video has helped me understand why I get them, why it makes sense, and that there is nothing dangerous going on. Watching this video has already made a big difference in my life. Thank you so much!
Look at this guy :)...listen to every single of his word :)....he made me smile...he calm me down....may god bless you :)
Thanks Daniel!
Thank you so much you have helped me to calm down this is my 6th panic attack in 10 days, I feel so much better there has been nothing so far to calm me down like this thank you 🙏🏻
My first panic attack I called 911 and had to go to the hospital by ambulance it was so bad
I also called 911 multiple times cause I thought Thought I was having a heart attack, it is hard to deal with it.
Incredible.. I was literally having a panic "attack" when I reluctantly open this video cause I thought watching it was just going to increase it or make it worse. I watched the first couple of minutes and BOOM IT VANISHED! Can't believe it! Thank you so much you gain yourself a need follower, keep it UP!
I just found your videos this morning, i've been going though the worst time of my life. Been having so many panic attacks, anxiety sitting there waiting to happen, having trouble sleeping and feeling like I'm going crazy. I listened to your deep relaxation hypnosis for stress relief, anxiety relief and instant calm this morning it felt amazing that I cried. I'm watching this video and you are helping me so much deeply, thank you so much.
Follow Norman's full program. It took me about a month but I'm fully panic-free. This guy changed my life.
Thanks for letting people know that what I do really works. I appreciate it!
I will keep you updated! I just had my first panic attack 2 days ago! it was terrible. I still can feel but i will keep your advices in my head. Thanks !
You ‘ ll never know how much your video has enlightened me.I have been suffering from panic attacks my whole life and can no longer seem able to cope. Thank you so much God bless you and your work. I would love to avail of your other series . I know thatfinally I have found hope.
been going on and off for 17 hours now. this video is helping and the comments seeing other people are experiencing the exact same thing and i’m not alone.
Im so happy this video been diagnosed with anxiety attack. And to think that anxiety wont make you go crazy . this video is so positive . thank you very much!
Thank you for helping me take the shame and embarrassment away from how I have been feeling. This has really been an eye opener. I believe life can and will get brighter.
You’re welcome. I’m so glad this video helped you!
What an absolutely calming voice you have. I could listen to it all day. I have always been afraid of men and their loud voices and so I react with "panic attacks" to them. Thank you for supplying this very necessary information for understanding the root cause and its cure. I feel much relieved that there is hope for me at 74.
Thanks AnnaRose!
You are love personified. Stellar personality for this role.
Thank you! I just experienced my second false alarm. It definitely helped me out control it. I went to the ER twice this past week and they told me i had to relax and breathe .. but your video definitely helped me control it. 🙏🏼 thank you
You explain this very well! I've been getting panic attacks for a few years now. At first I was sure I was having a heart attack. Knowing that heart issues run in my family made it worse. I got checked out thoroughly and they said my heart was perfectly fine. Even now though, the thought crosses my mind and makes it worse.
This gus so genuine .he actually cares. I do wonder were he got that shirt
Ive tried the "making it bigger" technique it actually worked lol i overreacted and it calmed me down 🤷 weird but it worked
This is the best video I have ever found on panic. I can’t thank you enough. I actually feel more equipped to handle these now.
Thank you for your time to help people get through what I find is a very difficult time. Thank you once again this is extremely helpful 👍
Thank you so much!! I loved the video. I've have had sever anxiety and panic for years and my biggest struggle is the fear of having a panic attack when I face something that will trigger it. I find myself avoiding those situation and limiting my potential. I feel like I will have a attack in front of a patient and not be able to run and calm down. It is ruining the quality of my life. I have realized when meditating when I accept the energy I am feeling in my body it does subside, so I love that advice because it is sooo true!
My Fitbit watch caused my anxiety to go in over-drive. I’m obsessed with always checking my heart rate. 😞
Yes the paradoxical approach definitely worked for me yesterday!
I just let myself feel the rapid thumping of my heart and thoughts go in and out of my head and let the tingling build up in my hands and feet; and then i try tell my brain to make these feelings stronger, and strangely enough it causes them to go down. I felt so scared before, but now I feel more in control of my mind and body.
The strange thing about anxiety is, it comes out of nowhere. Idk what triggers it at times, but just allowing myself to feel it for a dreadful few moments, and then telling my mind to make it worse, helped to normalize me again and feel sane. So, thank you for the video!
You’re welcome :) Well done for having the courage to use this counterintuitive technique!
After a panic attack which i had 8 months ago, i have dizziness every day. Its not the clasic vertigo, but it s a strânge dizziness. Its like i am moving, not the room.
The most helpful panic attack video by far. The guy is calm and collected and is straightforward.
I honestly can’t thank you enough!! Panic attacks are honestly the worst thing that can happen to anybody I don’t even wish it on my worst enemy... this video is sensational!!!
After watching this, it has helped me realize it's okay to have it. I've been fighting it when I had it all wrong! I do feel like this advice will help me greatly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Last week I ran my first 5k without stopping and all the time I could hear the voice in my head saying that I can do it. Forwago, thank you so much for everything!!
I was honestly thinking this video would be another video that wouldn't help me. But boy was I wrong! I have thankfully only been suffering from panic and severe anxiety for a few weeks but it has changed me. This video has also changed me. In the best way! Thanks SO much for this incredible information. The "make it worse " scenario gave me the most perspective! brilliant.
Thanks for this video, I’ve been having one everyday. I went to the ER and got $17,000 bill and they found nothing. Even my labs where good yet I thought I was either having a heart attack or a stroke. My heart rate was up and my blood pressure was up a little so they knew something was going on. I had no clue what a panic attack was until a coworker told that she gets them too and sound like a panic attack. She lead me to your channel. I have tried your techniques and I can’t thank you enough.
