My councilor gave me a plan to help when you feel an attack coming on or in a full blown panic attack
Find an object or focus on one from memory Then using each of your 5 Senses (Sight Smell Touch Hear &Taste) Ask 3 questions about your object Example: What would it taste like~~How would it Smell ~ What would it feel like.....It truly helps me focus on something else besides all the feelings of my body & mind wondering Ps of course I still use the DARE program too I Hope this helps 😄😄😄 Always remember This Too Will Pass
**And I do suggest you write this down because if you are like me and I'm in a Full attack It is hard to think!!!

Have you read DARE A New Way To End Anxiety by Barry McDonagh? His book has helped me tremendously!! And the Dare Apps are great I listen to them daily Good Luck with your journey!
Distraction technique.Very unusual as the massive percentage of distractions involve placing your attention on something in the OUTSIDE world,NOT your own mind,body,or emotions.
I think,whatever you focus on is actually irrelevant,the relevant power is become totally involved . Sounds like an excellent and unusual technique connected to N.L.P.
I find the best thing is doing something with my hands that also involve me having to think.So computer games are great,or tidying up.
