Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

yes because it may seem like it's more manageable but it all depends on what your triggers are sometimes people can't even think about them because it's so bad

In my opinion, one of the most important steps in coping with panic attacks is learning to identify your triggers. Knowing this can be the key to helping you prevent them altogether, or at the very least, can assist you in lessening the severity of an attack. You will be able to avoid certain things that you know will trigger you, or if you know you will be exposed to one, you can take steps to prepare yourself.

Identifying triggers can help sometimes as it may help you to avoid a certain triggering situations.

Yes, if you know what's going to trigger you, you can avoid it, or at least be aware that it's going to happen.

It really does. It helps because you know how to prevent yourself from being triggered. For me, I know I have high anxiety when my room is messy, so if I make sure it is clean I won't have a 'freak out' later in the week.

Yes of course it does. By identifying triggers you can learn to control/avoid them therefore moving forwards and taking a huge step towards recovery

In most cases, yes, although identifying them may lead to you excessively trying to avoid them, which can inconvenience you in the end.

In my experience, yes. Identifying your triggers can make it much easier to live with panic and anxiety disorders. Avoiding panic attacks becomes much easier when you know *what* to avoid. :) "Knowing is half the battle".

Yes, I found that when you find what the trigger is you can resolve the problem a lot easier therefore preventing unwanted panic attacks
