In honor of PTSD awareness month, we'd like to share some helpful videos about panic attacks. In this video, ADAA board member Ken Goodman, LCSW, is joined by a former anxiety sufferer who shares how she uses this breathing tool to reduce her anxiety and prevent panic attacks.

For me breathing is key. I have to focus on it to keep the other symptoms from escalating. It was actually my bodies first response in trying to get through the panic when it began happening Eventually I became aware that I was doing this and began to work on technique.
Thank you for the post. I suffer from PTSD and appreciate your bringing this post to the community.

TY for your thoughts. Watching triggers to panic help, even foods can trigger. keeping an eye on any breathing cant hurt.I almost passed out at an intersection becuase i held my breath out of stress....so i quit driving....until it dawned on me.now there are watches that help you see issues....wonderful tech.
Interesting on the watches. What do they do?

they check pulse put out on phone chart worst times(like when my husband was comming home) it shows a pulse which you can breathe down, and you can take it to the doc. I believe in journaling because it has shown ME what i miss.Sometimes it all goes out the door when im in bed but the phone is working.Keeps track of water intake too. fit bit, garmin, apple...some are rfurbished and cheaper.it is worth bp pulse etc and you can add any exercise (like vacuming....my duaghter would say...google smart watch
I didn't realize they did all that. Thank you for explaining.
Journaling is a great way to unload. I have quite a few full.
I used to have those attacks like you describe where it's necessary to stop driving. I'm so glad this watch helps you. Great job finding these helpful tools
