Page 1 of 4 From The Feedback I Get It Is Very Obvious That Other Courses and Treatments Out There Are Not Showing People How To End Their Anxiety Rather than fully empowering you, they teach coping mechanisms and strategies on how to get over a panic attack once it happens. That is not good enough. Just coping with this condition is not good enough. People need a program that teaches them how to free themselves from ever having another panic attack again. That I am sure is the only kind of result you are interested in? Ever Wondered What Exactly Is Happening In
Your Brain When You Have A Panic Attack?
The University College London have recently published findings in the journal Science (2007), demonstrating that when people experience extreme anxiety or panic, the activity in their brain moves from the front of their brain to the mid brain. This was demonstrated by scans showing higher blood flow to the section of the brain that was most active. The front of the brain (prefrontal cortex) is where decision making and rationalization takes place. The midbrain (periaqueductal grey area) is where survival mechanisms such as fight or flight originate from.
You are probably well aware that a panic attack is a ‘fight or flight’ response to a perceived threat. The reason the human brain responds like this goes back to our prehistoric past where humans needed their bodies to respond quickly to a perceived physical threat. What this new research is telling us, is that people’s mental activity during a panic attack is suddenly moving to the mid brain, resulting in the heightened state of fear and panic. In short, a separate part of your brain becomes more active during a panic attack. The problem, as you well know, is that once the panic attack begins and that heightened state of fear starts, it is very difficult to calm yourself down. In order to restore calm you therefore need the brains mental activity to change. This is the reason why deep breathing is so ineffective in helping people control a panic attack. All deep breathing does is try and restore calm to the body. Trying to mentally calm the body is like shutting the gate after the horse has bolted. Your brain is the control center and that is where the change needs to happen. During a panic attack your brain has moved into panic mode and in order to really restore order you need to learn how to switch your mental activity back to the rational part of your brain. What’s more is that you need to learn a technique that will allow you to do so in a split second, regardless of where you are or what you are doing. Sounds complicated? Well it is not. When someone feels reassured that they are safe the mental activity reverts back to the forebrain. The One Move Technique™ teaches you to feel safe in a very simple and easy to apply manner. The One Move is called so because it is in effect a movement of mental activity. It is a technique that moves mental activity away from the impulsive mid brain back to the forebrain. Why do you need to know all this? You don’t. In fact I make little reference to the science of the brain in the course because it can put people off or make them feel uncomfortable but suffice to say that the Panic Away course is based on well tested cognitive psychology and science. It is simple and safe to apply. There are no side effects and once you grasp the concept you eliminate your panic attacks. The rest of the course then teaches you how to eliminate any general anxiety you may be feeling throughout the day. I Barry Joe McDonagh, have been teaching this new revolutionary approach to dealing with anxiety and panic attacks for over seven years now and the results are astounding people. To give you a little background, I was in my second year of debilitating panic attacks when I discovered this powerful technique that stopped panic attacks in their tracks I had been studying the cognitive behavior approach for dealing with panic attacks from some of the top psychologists when I discovered this technique.The real breakthrough came when I made some startling observations about how a panic attack fuels and generates itself. I developed the technique on the principle that if you extinguish the fuel that powers the panic attack, you eliminate its reoccurrence. I began teaching small groups of people my discovery and started getting immediate results. This surprised me as I was initially unsure if I could replicate the same results. People were reporting instant panic elimination and further research confirmed that the technique I taught was not only instantly effective but also a permanent solution to panic and anxiety disorders. I have since taught the One Move Technique™ to thousands of people in over 30 different countries.
