Many people want to know what's the best remedy for panic attacks. I believe Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the best treatment for it. Because it deals at the root level. We can learn lot of things about our thinking/belief process.  

The cognitive-behavioral therapy or CBT is a combination of two kinds of therapy. They are Cognitive and Behavioral.

I talked to you in my previous posts about the behavioral techniques. They are desensitization, relaxation and breathing exercises.

Cognitive therapy focuses on our thoughts, assumptions and beliefs (read Panic Away for more details).

I learned how to change my thinking process (maladaptive thinking patterns). After all, thoughts are the root cause for anxiety or panic attack.

I successfully got control over racing and repetitive thoughts (which often feed or trigger anxiety).

I began observing my thought flow during the time of panic attack. Then I understood it's the first step in dealing with panic attacks.

Gradually, I became less sensitive to the frightening bodily sensations and feelings of terror. I was testing myself in the places and situations I had been avoiding.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy deals with the inner psyche and works at the subconscious level. After all, the problem is in the mind though we experience the symptoms in the body.

So we should learn how to over come negative thinking patterns. Finding reasons why our thoughts and fears are irrational (and being patient with them) can help us to stabilize thinking patterns, emotions and our behavioral responses to them.

Then everything falls in a place!

I personally suggest the book "A New Earth" written by Eckhart Tolle. He explains in great detail how our mind operates (the mechanism of thinking patterns and our spontaneous reactions to them).
