What We Can Do:

* Cognitive-Behavior Therapy    involves examining “cognitions” or thoughts and
   modifying them and our behaviors to help change those thoughts and relieve the fear.

* Desensitization is the gradual, gentle exposure of a fear-producing stimulus (such as
   a snake) to a person so that it can be seen in the healing light of day.

* Breath work helps when the panic attacks are related to low blood oxygen levels,
   such as in cases of acute and chronic respiratory illness.

* Medication, both homeopathic and allopathic, can be helpful in the treatment of
   acute and chronic states of fear.

* Hypnotherapy utilizes imagery and suggestion to help us change the way we see
  things as well as to modulate our own physiological responses.  It can be enormously
  effective in a relatively short time.

* EMDR is a specific technique that works with rapid eye movement to release us from
   old patterns and traumas. This is very helpful when the fears are due to specific event.
