Relationship and roller coasters, both are exciting both can make you panic.*
Relational Panic: A more complete understanding and interaction with panic attacks is the best answer to your suffering. What you feel, what you think, and what you do matter. Your suffering, symptoms, and panic are meaningful.
“The 3 most important questions: Do panic attacks have anything to do with my relationships? Are my relationships making me sick? Can my relationships help with panic attacks?”
“Panic is a signal. The solution is relationship. Relationship, complete accurate information, experience, meaning, desire, and purpose more fully explain the phenomenon of panic attacks and agoraphobia than cognitive, behavioral, and medical models. ”
“The relational imperative in ending panic suffering. Panic attacks and agoraphobia, have been labeled as random, meaningless, biological dis-regulations perhaps combined with poor cognitive word use, and wrong behavior. What if this is not true. What if the opposite is true? What if symptoms, words and behavior matter. The site and the book argue: panic expressions are not random nor meaningless. ”
Relational loving can be and should be the natural holistic response to panic. It has the capability to soothe like no medication on earth. It has the capability to make our thinking clear. It has the capability to make our behavior meaningful. It is a powerful answer to any problem. We carry it with us at all times, and it needs no special equipment. This kind of relationship, once we've tried it, is powerfully enhancing and we will not give it up. Understandably, it has become a lost art.
Use relationship to help and expand the tools you already know in a whole new way... Don’t discard cognitive, behavioral, and medical, methods that treat your symptoms, but don’t believe these are the complete solution. Some may recover using only these methods, many do not. There is something that goes with each of these that is the real healing ingredient: relating.
The panic attack symptom package is the most powerful, the most painful, and the most devastating experience within the human condition. No other problem physically hurts like this one, and no other problem robs us like this one: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
This is a primer on relational loving: the particulars, the details, the attributes of relationships, and how all this relates to panic—what loving relationship accomplishes.
NOTE: For Your Own Good; You must visit a health care professional to rule out medical conditions that mimic panic and panic attacks. The last thing you need is to needlessly prolong your suffering. The blessing of an accurate diagnosis allows us to focus on the real problem.
