…it’s an interesting thing because it’s another ‘not one size fits all’ type thing…panic attacks can come from very different places for different people…some aren’t even emotionally based, I believe…they can come from physical exertion…

…anger/rage can obviously come from a place of feeling threatened…/…like a fight or flight/type thing…it’s also something that very much can come from a place of triggering hurt/pain…and that can either be physical or emotional pain…for me and something that I learned in CBT of a certain thing that in the past has triggered an ‘irrational anger’…and not really having understood that apparent irrational annoyance at something that seemed quite…trivial, I guess…but in ‘tracing’ that link, it actually made complete sense because the sub conscious was linking physical pain to the annoyance and that manifested as anger because an understanding wasn’t there to focus it in any other direction…anyway, there are obviously other ‘triggers’ to anger as well in other people, we’re all different…and as I say, not one size fits all, it rarely does have that fit…

…going back to the fight or flight thing, if there was a situation for instance with someone choosing flight as an instinct…that ‘lack of assertiveness’ as it were…can create anxieties that can then build to a panic attack …when someone feels a sense of helplessness/a loss of control and feeling lost and an inner struggle as to how to regain that …that’s really touching a bit on what Kate was saying about hereditary’….in that if someone struggles to assert themselves, that can then be something that’s also passed down to a child ….anyway, these are just all ‘in my opinion’ type things…because it really does depend on the person and very specifics about them and their situation and environment and so many factors etc that creates a panic attack…
