I came across an article on childmind.org written by Caroline Miller. I was intrigued by the title of the article ‘Panic Attacks and How to Treat Them’. Well now, surely it’s much better to banish panic attacks completely. Get rid of them altogether and live a panic free life?

Ms Miller’s article, however, clearly indicates that it is impossible to banish panic attacks and that all anyone can do is ‘treat them’. I respectfully disagree. For years I have very successfully helped people banish their panic attacks, completely and permanently.

It states that research shows that many clinicians recommend cognitive behavioural therapy as the first-line treatment, with medication added, if necessary, to make the patient sufficiently comfortable to participate in the therapy.

In this episode, I discuss why this is rather worrying, and to put bluntly, wrong.

The way to overcome Chronic Hyperventilation Syndrome is by re-training the body to breathe in a correct, healthy manner. Check out the breathing retraining programme on my website: www.yourpanicfreelife.com  With the right approach and total dedication to the programme, panic attacks can be totally eliminated from your life.

I’m Annie Roy-Barker, psychotherapist, specialist in dysfunctional breathing and founder of yourpanicfreelife.com, signing off for now. 

Worried? Stressed? Always Feeling Anxious Without An Actual Reason?

Some people thrive on dashing from one thing to another, seemingly flourishing on the stresses and strains of everyday life. Yet, while appearing to successfully cope with these stresses and strains, some folk express a constant feeling of anxiety. I refer to this feeling as ‘free-floating anxiety.’ 

This state of ‘free-floating anxiety' is not a justifiable state, because there is actually nothing for them to feel anxious about. They are just feeling anxious; can’t put a finger on what is causing them to feel anxious; it’s just there. Constantly. Free-floating anxiety.

In time, this ‘free-floating anxiety' which is usually accompanied by other seemingly unrelated symptoms, results in a person going to see a doctor, who, on hearing that his patient is feeling anxious, gives a diagnosis of ‘anxiety state.’  Here’s the rub. Although a diagnosis of Anxiety State may seem logical, it’s actually a perilous diagnosis, implying that a person is mentally ill and incapable of adequately controlling their thoughts and life.  

Yet doctors frequently give a diagnosis of Anxiety State to folk who lead successful lives, have successful careers, marriages, and families. Why?  Well, it’s likely that the patient also has other bewildering symptoms and has undergone various tests, x-rays and examinations – and the results have all proved negative; so all the doctor has to go on is the patient’s persistent anxious feeling.

Now, anyone in this situation should be considered a serious candidate for a diagnosis of Chronic Hyperventilation Syndrome. This is an insidious respiratory condition that creates a profound biochemical disturbance in the body, and can affect any organ in the body; even mimicking conditions such as heart disease or cancer. Symptoms such as panic attacks, pins and needles, pains that dot around in the body, lethargy, fatigue, mental/physical depression, sighing/yawning/crying a lot, migraine, brain fog, visual/sleep disturbance. The list goes on with seemingly unrelated symptoms, yet all tests, x-rays and examinations will all prove negative.

Although Chronic Hyperventilation Syndrome can be debilitating, it can be overcome by teaching the body to breathe healthily again.

It took nine years of horrendous panic attacks, a myriad of other miserable, debilitating, symptoms, innumerable doctors and consultants, tests, x-rays and examinations before I was eventually diagnosed with Chronic Hyperventilation Syndrome;  an insidious respiratory condition caused through dysfunctional breathing.

Interestingly, I felt that I was breathing normally until the difference between a correct breathing pattern and an incorrect one was described to me.

I  was taught how to breathe properly and my panic attacks disappeared - and all the other mystifying, miserable, debilitating symptoms. That was over thirty years ago and I haven’t had a panic attack since. And there’s more...

The consultant who eventually and correctly diagnosed my Chronic Hyperventilation Syndrome was the late Dr Claude Lum, who pioneered extensive research into the cause and treatment of dysfunctional breathing. My personal experience with this debilitating condition led me to undertake training with Dr Lum and I subsequently incorporated breathing re-training into my private psychotherapy practice.

Hello,  I’m Annie Roy-Barker, your quit panic expert and founder of Your Panic Free Life.

This Podcast explains how the very act of breathing can cause panic attacks.

Because there is a right way to breathe and there’s a wrong way to breathe. When you continually breathe incorrectly, it creates a respiratory disorder called Chronic Hyperventilation Syndrome. HVS for short. And this creates a profound biochemical disturbance in the body that can produce symptoms in any part, any organ, in the body.

Panic attacks are high on the list of symptoms. Now, although these attacks are really ghastly, frightening experiences, they do not present any danger. Because a panic attack is just the natural bodily action of breathing being overdone.

So, here’s the question. Is your breathing making you panic?

Over thirty years ago, I quit panic attacks. Completely. For Ever.
How did I do it?
