Witnessing a loved one experience a panic attack or flashback can be terrifying and often a feeling of hopelessness and or fear can develop not only for the sufferer but also for the observer. Often the harder you fight these feelings the stronger they can become. As a sufferer I have learned that it is better to acknowledge what is happening and be gentle with myself until it has passed. Although it might feel, at the time, that your heart might stop beating, the attack will pass.
