“When you walk into a situation that is similar in time or place to one in which you previously had a panic attack, the image of that last time rises up in your mind. This image alone can produce the same muscle tension and the mind can interpret it to mean “trouble.” Instead of paying attention to all of its many problem-solving options, the mind focuses on its negative images of your past failure. In turn, you begin to notice your tense muscles and all of your other disturbing body sensations.”
