When Panic Approaches. Instant Turnoff of Anxiety and Fear Based on Neurobiology

There are different types of anxiety. A panic attack is the most intense and dangerous manifestation of this feeling. At such moments, your heart rate increases, trembling occurs, palms sweat, and it is difficult or impossible to take a breath. It seems that the state of incredible fear will never end. A person in such a state may think that they are dying.
There are also other less pronounced types of anxiety - for example, background anxiety. It is accompanied by constant tension and worry. Endless scenarios are played out in the mind, and the question "what if?" is asked almost every minute.
Charles Schaffer - a psychotherapist with vast experience - devoted his career to the therapy of anxiety disorders. In his book, he relies on the latest research in the field of neurobiology, in particular, on polyvagal theory. According to it, all emotional, social, and individual experiences are regulated by the autonomic nervous system. It constantly operates in the background.
After reading this book, you will learn to bring your autonomic system into a state of harmony. This will allow you to remain calm even in the most critical moments.
