Joe Barry Panic Away Scam?

By samlyone

Joe Barry’s Panic Away is a popular system for those wanting to learn how to deal with Panic Attacks. The claim made by the author is that Panic Away is “the most powerful method for eliminating panic attacks and general anxiety”. This is quite a large claim. Is there any substance behind it or is it a scam?

THE BASIC IDEA

The Panic Away system has three main components. The central idea is that panic attacks usually start out with small triggering fears that quickly get out of hand and turn into full blow panic attacks if not properly managed. Joe Barry’s approach is to teach panic attack sufferers specific techniques to deal with the small triggering fears. He says if you can learn to deal with these triggering fears, you will have a way to stop and prevent panic attacks at will.

Component one is about a technique he calls the One Move Technique, which he says is a simple series of actions you can take the moment you feel a panic attack coming on. He says that once you practice it enough and get the hang of it, you can get to the point where you can stop panic attacks right when they are about to start.

Component two is more about prevention. Here Joe Barry says that if you can learn to deal with what he calls “general background anxiety” – the day to day stressors that give rise to panic attacks – you can learn to prevent them from ever occurring. This component teaches various lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise.

Component three is about taking what you learn in component one and two and trying to make sure that the new ways of thinking and behaving become habit.

IS IT A SCAM?

Joe Barry’s Panic Away is definitely not a scam. The system has been sold for many years and, if you look, you will find many testimonials from satisfied customers both on Joe Barry’s site and other places on the internet.

The techniques do require some work and time to make them a habit, but once you get the hang of it, they can be very effective in both preventing and controlling panic attacks.

The system gives you a framework for understanding how panic attacks develop and make you much more aware of all the factors that can contribute to an attack.

The methods are based on good common sense and years of trial and error experimentation by the author. If you are ready to put in some time to understand them and implement them, they can definately make a big difference.
