While many people focus on treating panic attacks or coping with them, it's wiser to recognize that panic attacks are symptoms that can be completely resolved when the underlying causes are addressed. There can be several causes, including physiological factors, but pre-existing emotional anxiety is often to blame. Such anxiety and any related phobias are based on disempowering beliefs/perceptions and/or nervous system conditioning, all of which must be corrected to eliminate the anxiety, after which panic attacks cease to exist.
