Panic attack heroes.

Panic attacks (PA) come in a variety of forms. And they are also experienced in different ways. My current Panic Attack Heroes are strong people. They go through sadness and fear without breathing. They often bear responsibility for the happiness of loved ones. And indeed they can hold out longer than others. They have learned to stop and dry their tears. They developed these skills by coping with losses that were difficult to endure and with no one to share. Feelings are so unbearable that they were able to do the impossible to avoid meeting them. Clamp your chest in the armor of muscle grips and not breathe. The signs of weakness can knock you off your feet. "I can't handle it." It is difficult for a hero to climb in armor - he lacks flexibility. And then there is hostility to oneself for the emerged helplessness. And resistance to take up the outstretched helping hand, because this is also a sign of weakness. The breath, which is so lacking, is retained by the muscle shell. Allowing yourself to breathe is anger, sadness, and fear of loss. This is to release your tears. It is to feel your loneliness. To accept help is to acknowledge your non-heroic part.

A panic attack is the price paid for avoiding anxiety. And that weakness that you cannot forgive yourself. Heroes can rarely be weak around loved ones. More often they either isolate themselves or show their weakness through exactingness and irritation.

As a rule, PAs arise some time after a change in life situation (loss of work, relationships, significant people, animals, moving, changing jobs, leaving the decree). Some changes may even be welcome, but without inner readiness.

PA is described as a disaster that brings down the order of life. Palpitations, tremors, choking, dizziness, fear of dying, going crazy, and other frightening sensations arise suddenly. According to the client, it's like dying anew every time. And to lose confidence in everything, in the first place - in yourself. The discovery of one's own vulnerability is frightening with the expectation of new losses "who needs me like that." And it leads to the desire to move away even more and "pull yourself together" where there is an urgent need for support. The certainty with the "diagnosis" and the understanding that you will not die is very significant.

The exit from the vicious circle in therapy goes by steps: to see the existing supports; to form the Inner Comforter in addition to the Inner Critic; realize your feelings, experience and share them; face loneliness and learn to get out of it; build a truly close relationship (both in strength and weakness); learn to separate without feeling abandoned, taking something from the other with you.

Outside of therapy, these steps can be partly literal actions: remember what happened before and after the attack; feel that the earth is holding you (feel real physical support); do not scold or shame yourself for the PA, but show concern; allow yourself to experience different feelings, not to be isolated, to seek community with other people.
