I tried almost all the exposure methods of the Panic Program, and found that Hyperventilating, Spinning in a chair, and Holding my Breath were the worse ones to bring out my panic symptoms out of the twelve that I tried. Especially Hyperventilating, caused dizziness, panic, and my face turned beet red. It was so difficult to do the spinning in a chair that I could only do it for 20 seconds, instead of the suggested one minute. I could only hold my breath for 20 seconds instead of the suggested 30 seconds. You are supposed to expose yourself to these experiences five times in a day. How is it going for anyone else? Did these exercises help you to face the physical aspect of panic attacks and are you doing much better now?
