RE: Stop Thinking about that White Bear - How to Suppress Negative Thoughts (Featuring new author @cristi)
I upvoted you for the stradegy even if I disagree with your approach. I think it causes more harm.
Sometimes your fear depends on other people's perception of you though. If their perception of you continues to reinforce, then a problem can be much worse for the person experiencing the problem.
@paulpuk2000
Based on what you are saying one, will always be turmoiled since one cannot change the perception of others towards you.
That's another generalisation. I said sometimes. I think that what you are saying may well work on many occasions, but sometimes, it may not. It think it depends on the situation.
@kyriacos, I agree we disagree. the fact is, that most people suffering from panic attacks are too fearful in being confronted with what triggers the attack. Inducing a strong positive thought may be easier
@christi
This is why most remain forever with the the problem or get into a popping pill spiral. Like most things in life, the situation needs confrontation.
personally, I'm onto the same bandwagon. but it's not something that many folks can do.
