Should I avoid my triggers for panic attacks?

you should try to face these triggers when you feel you are in a comfortable situation to do so, and that there will be no harm done to you.

Sometimes thats best, but not always. Learning to face your triggers can help you to overcome the effect!

Yes and no. It is important to learn how to handle our triggers. But the problem is that when we experience them as really acute, all we do by facing them is to scare ourselves even more, sometimes even to the point where we may find that we cannot carry on with our lives. So we have to be clever when we face our monsters. In bad cases it is best to take a companion with on the journey in the form of a professional who knows how not to be scared by monsters and can also teach you how to face up to yours. This should be someone you trust. And the second thing is to be endlessly patient with yourself and to learn the endless lessons of self compassion.

No. As a person who has suffered from them in the past year i say never avoid them. Panic attacks are created from the fear in your mind. Your mind is the enemy in this case and you have to fight the fear as it is not real. Most of the things you worry most about never happen. Just remember the more you tackle your triggers head on, the more you will recover. Definitely try the Anxiety and Phobia workbook. You can find it on Amazon!

It is a good idea to avoid any triggers that are causing panic attacks. The less you interact with them, the better.

Avoiding triggers is a great way to reduce your panic attacks however if you are looking for a way to feel better in the long run then avoiding your problems may not always be the best approach. Try listing out your triggers and figuring out how they make you feel and why. Imagining them as physical thing may also help. In the end, just try to accept your fears/triggers and that may help you to not react in a way that causes a panic attack.

You should avoid them at first. I would not suggest facing them all at one time, then pushing yourself to limits and giving yourself major panic attacks, but you should also learn ways to power through them in a safer way.

This is an interesting question. There is value in avoiding them and confronting them. Before confronting your triggers make sure you have good tools for managing and reducing panic when it is triggered. Then when the stakes are low you can try to expose yourself to trigger in small amounts overtime.. this will help you desensitize yourself to the triggers. this is called exposure therapy.

A lot of therapist say you really shoudn't avoid your triggers or else it could make them worse when they appear..

in some cases I understand, but in overall you really shouldn't avoid your triggers if possible. you should get to the root of the problem and deal with it head on, otherwise it will keep occurring and will continue to eat at your heart, it'll get to a point where you are letting it control your life, and you shouldn't be held back. avoiding your triggers will do that to you. you need to let things go, and letting things go is probably one of the hardest -if not. hardest- things you can possibly do. in the end its ultimatley up to you and how you live your life. and eventually, you'll get through it and you will be a better person because of it.
