Everybody who has suffered with panic attacks and anxiety has wondered where these things come from. What is the cause of panic attacks?As an NLP practitioner, I tend to not focus on causes and symptoms, but instead focus on changes that bring positive results. In fact, NLP (neurolinguistic programming) is all about results, and doesn’t get bogged down dealing with causes for any problem, including anxiety and panic attacks.
So to answer the question, “what is the cause of panic attacks?” I’ll give you a simple answer.
Life.
Life is the cause of all human difficulties. So why do some people have panic attacks and others don’t? Because we all have our own little crosses to bare, our own challenges, and things to learn. For some people this means learning to deal with anxiety and panic attacks. But no one gets a free ride.
Everyone has issues they have to deal with in life, and challenges they have to overcome. Everyone. No exceptions. If it’s not panic attacks and anxiety,it is sure to be something else: body image issues, anger problems, lack of motivation, depression, poor self-image, and so on. If there is one thing I have learned in my years of coaching and counseling it is this: we ALL have our issues to deal with.
I understand that it’s only human to be curious about the cause of panic attacks; but at the end of the day, it is also unproductive. Trying to figure out what caused the panic attacks in the first place is a rabbit hole that we can easily get lost in. And any time spent trying to figure this out is really just wasted energy. After all, knowing the original cause of panic attacks doesn’t make them go away. That’s where results oriented therapies such as NLP come in. That’s also why the EasyCalm video series focuses on proven solutions and results through techniques and exercises developed over years of working with anxiety and panic attack sufferers.
What is the cause of panic attacks? here’s a good answer: Who cares? The question we really need to be asking is this:
What are the solutions to panic attacks? Now we’re getting somewhere…
