From the opening chapter

As we embark on our exploration of panic and anxiety, it is vital to establish a clear understanding of these experiences. Panic attacks and acute anxiety episodes are not mere terms; they represent profound, often overwhelming experiences that can significantly affect an individual's quality of life. By examining these phenomena, we can appreciate why sensory-based techniques offer a path towards calm and control. Panic attacks are abrupt, intense surges of fear or discomfort that peak within minutes. Symptoms can be so severe that individuals often feel as if they are losing control, having a heart attack, or even dying. Physical manifestations include a racing heart, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, dizziness, and a fear of impending doom. These attacks can occur unexpectedly or be triggered by specific situations. Acute anxiety episodes, while perhaps less intense than panic attacks, are characterised by overwhelming worry and fear. Individuals experiencing acute anxiety might feel restless, on edge, or irritable, and may encounter difficulty concentrating or sleeping.
