Panic Attacks Are Not a Disease; They Are the Soul’s Smoke Detector
Many people with panic disorder think their recurring panic attacks are a symptom of illness. In reality, it’s quite the opposite. Panic attacks are nothing more—and nothing less—than the warning system of our subconscious. Comparable to a smoke detector: very unpleasant when it goes off but absolutely vital for survival.
What’s more important: climbing a ladder to turn off the annoying beeping of the smoke detector or extinguishing the fire that triggered the alarm? Correct—the fire must be extinguished! The same applies to panic attacks.
