Many people are now aware of how powerful visualization is. I have proven this when I was able to become a streak basketball shooter without any practice. All I did was vividly imagine the ball swooshing through the net after gracefully releasing it from my hand.

Warning! Wrong visualizations can trigger a counter effect. The way your mind thinks affects your body. If you visualize that you are unable to control your panic attacks, it will manifest itself into reality.

Here’s how you can use your imagination in treating panic disorders:

Imagine your panic disorder as a creature that is ugly, awkward, small, and weak. Give panic a different name that will signify your power over it. For this example,
let’s say you named it “Weakling”.

You want “Weakling” to be out of your life because you are strong and mighty. Now every time “Weakling” visits, do what you can to kick it out. It doesn’t deserve to be in your presence.

Every time you conjure horrible images in your mind, get rid of them. “Weakling” loves it when you suffer from those terrifying pictures in your head because it feels more in control of you. Are you going to allow that weakling to dominate you? Not a chance! So you have to get "mad" enough to stomp those images out of your mind to defeat that puny little “Weakling”. Imagine “Weakling” raising its hands in surrender because it can’t do anything against you.

Once those images vanish, “Weakling” goes with them. Slowly but assuredly, you’re conquering your panic attacks. When you have successfully taken control over your panic attacks, congratulate yourself, celebrate your success, and enjoy your life!

2) Pep up your self-talk.

Command your brain and subconscious that you are ready and able to face any panic attack or anxiety that may come. Tell panic to “Bring it on!”

Your thoughts should also be coupled by the right emotions. If you say to your mind you're capable of conquering your fears and anxieties, but deep inside you're feeling that you can't control it, your negative emotions will take over. Your thoughts and emotions must work in harmony in treating panic disorders.
