Panic Away Is Missing Something
Posted by Sylvia on May 1st, 2007
Boy, time sure flies. I’m late getting to you this time because I’ve been re-reviewing some products that I recommended previously.
I decided to do this re-review because of all the negative comments I’ve been seeing lately about Panic Away, the popular program to stop panic attacks. It seems it doesn’t work for everyone, and I believe I know the reason why.
During this re-review of Panic Away, I couldn’t help also reviewing my own recovery process as well. Now realize it’s a long time since I did recovery fully, but looking back now, it’s actually easier to see the process in its entirety, complete with its pitfalls.
And then, Panic Away’s missing element came to light.
Joe Barry talks about how his One Move™ technique will help you to stop a panic attack the moment it begins. He details the process so you can apply it the next time one happens.
The flaw in this thinking is that for some people, this isn’t enough. Oh, it might work at the time of the attack, but where’s the lasting recovery, I wondered?
I wish I could say that Panic Away worked for me, but I was already cured by the time I discovered it. During my initial review, however, I did understand his thinking and how his technique would distract you from the attack so that it doesn’t happen. For some people this is all they need to recover completely. For others, it’s not.
He also teaches you how to let your anxiety run its course, rather than trying to hold back the fear. In my case, I didn’t quite recognize exactly what I did until I read Panic Away. That’s when I was able to put together how I had used ‘releasing’ as an effective tactic.
I had never really understood how mere distraction would lead to a permanent recovery. It didn’t for me, and I used many distraction techniques. Releasing contributed, but it wasn’t until I fixed my low self confidence that I was able to recovery permanently.
Just like other panic-relief products, Panic Away claims that by curing the anxiety your confidence with ‘soar’. Well, this might be true to some degree. Of course you will feel better about yourself when you no longer have to constantly dread the cycle of fear and panic.
Unfortunately, if there is an underlying current of low self confidence, his technique just might not work. You might well be facing additional attacks or a regression after your initial recovery. It might happen in the first month while you are practicing this technique, or it might come back years down the road.
In my case, it came back 3 years later with a vengeance.
Recently, I’ve been on forums reading posts by people who have tried Panic Away. For them, it didn’t work. In fact, some of them are downright upset that the claims made just don’t deliver. I can understand why they would feel that way.
Keep in mind that everyone is different; not everyone will be helped by Panic Away or any other anxiety-relief product, for that matter.
But also realize that there is an underlying aspect of anxiety that these products don’t discuss in any significant detail. Your low self confidence and self esteem.
Researchers have proven that inferiority is a very real component of anxiety disorder. A sense of inferiority is an element of low self confidence as well.
This missing element became evident to me because while doing this re-review, I went back to my own anxiety-ridden days and recalled how low my confidence was back then. Even after my so-called ‘recovery’, I still had lingering apprehensions – kind of like when you get the hiccups. When they are gone, you still feel like another one is pending.
That’s the way I felt – like the major anxiety was gone but I still didn’t quite feel right. While reading forum posts about this issue, I was certain that many of them are in the same boat I was in. So I put together an ebook based on research and my own discoveries and first-hand experiences to fill this gap.
How To Build Confidence and Banish Anxiety Forever will teach someone recovering from anxiety and panic disorder how to build their confidence (and sense of inferiority) so the anxiety will be overcome once and for all. It provides the element that will make all the difference to the quality of recovery you enjoy.
This product fills a very real gap left by Panic Away. I’m giving it away as part of the Panic Away package.
