I have mentioned what works for me before somewhere on here, but let me say that it takes practice.
When you feel a panic attack coming on, look for the most complicated object near you.
Then, look at it closely, then describe it to yourself.
quilt. (it can be any object at all)
Describe it in the most detailed way you can. Look at every detail of the quilt, etc so that you would sound something like this:
The quilt;s main color is orange. The quilt has a beige border that is about 2 inches in width.
The beige squares have roses in them and they are small, like a moss rose, with little green leaves.
The orange squares have yellow roses in them. The yellow roses have tiny little green leaves.
The quilting stitches are even, and look so nice.
Get the message? The more you focus on this object, the less power the panic attack has.
I read this somewhere on the net and I have tried it many times. IT WORKS if you practice it!
You can use anything at all for the object.
Hope this helps.
