I belong to a self help cognitive behavioral group called Recovery Inc. They have in person meetings, telephone meetings and a web site:
www.recovery-inc.com/

We use a book called Mental Health Through Will Training written by Dr. Abraham Low. Some of his methods for terminating panics include telling yourself that "My symptoms are distressing but not dangerous. I can function with my symptoms." This is called spotting. When you are having panic symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, pressure in your head, feeling hot, your mind sets up a vicious cycle. It starts saying - this is dangerous. I can't stand my symptoms. I can't go. Dr. Low has you substitute his secure thoughts for your insecure thoughts. Sounds simple, huh? But it takes a lot of practice. It really worked for me.
