I read an excellent psychiatrist's view about anxiety
being a 'Transference'. A transference,that is,from
when we were children and having any kind of fear
of our parents--even fear of talking back to them,
then transferring that fear on to the world at large.
And another doc altogether,re your panic,recommends 'reverse psychology'. That is,
do the opposite of what you are habitually doing.
I.E. With a friend or relative you can trust, take
them to a place you would normally panic, only
the purpose is to: SHOW THEM HOW GOOD
OR SEVERE YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF
PANIC! "OK,I'm going to show you how easy it is
for me to panic/get uptight/anxious, watch this."
Get the point? Hope it helps.
