Panic Puzzle Review

I'm very excited to be writing this Panic Puzzle review. You know how when you discover a great restaurant or see a great movie you can't wait to tell your friends about it? That's the way I feel about Panic Puzzle.

As you know, I'm continually on the lookout for information about panic attacks and anxiety disorders. Over the years I've looked at dozens and dozens of products. Most have something to recommend them, but only a few stand head and shoulders above the rest. Panic Puzzle is one of the latter.

How Panic Puzzle Came to Be

Rich Presta developed the Panic Puzzle system. He struggled with panic attacks itself and did extensive research looking for solutions. In fact, he reviewed virtually every authoritative source on overcoming panic, phobias, fear is, and anxiety written over the last 100 years to uncover the principles that have stood the test of time.

He then combined these principles with modern techniques to produce what is probably the single most effective tool I've seen to help someone quickly and easily overcome anxiety and panic attacks.

About Panic Puzzle

The program consists of a manual and extensive supplemental materials. Everything is delivered in digital format so it's available immediately.

The information in this program would be valuable if it was written on a torn restaurant napkin, but I do appreciate it when material is presented in an attractive form. The layout and design of the manual are very clean and easy to read, even on a computer screen.

In addition, Mr. Presta’s writing style is conversational, friendly and easy to understand. The information is presented very clearly and crisply with no extraneous fluff.

The program begins with an explanation of why anyone might have anxiety in the first place. This is followed by exercises to help you uncover the origin and nature of your own personal "fear cycle".

Next, you learn a series of techniques, each building upon the others that will allow you to first interrupt your fear cycle and then completely dissolve your fears and anxieties.

I recognize some of the techniques as having been derived from therapies such as neurolinguistic programming, operant conditioning, cognitive restructuring, yogic breathing and so forth. Others I didn't recognize.

A Minor Quibble about the Program

One of my quibbles with the program is that Mr. Presta doesn't attribute which technique came from where. Nor does he give additional resources for anyone to want to delve deeper into a given technique.

On the other hand, this is meant to be a practical program for someone to use. It succeeds very well in giving effective information in a concise "here's what to do" format.

As I said, there's no fluff.

There's a Surprising Section on Life Strategies

I think my biggest surprise in going through the course is that roughly a third of the manual is devoted to life strategies, beginning with a short but powerful section on time management.

At first I wondered why this was included in the program to help with panic and anxiety, but then I recognize the authors wisdom.

The Panic Puzzle system is not magic. It does work, but there are a series of exercises that you need to do and skills you need to practice. Doing that will take time. Not a lot of time, and it's worth it for the results you obtain, but Mr. Presta anticipated that for many people "not enough time" would be their excuse for not following through.

He preempts this by teaching a straightforward approach to time management that will assure you set aside the time to complete the program and completely overcome your fears.

Not only that, but the goal of the course is not just to help you eliminate panic attacks but to live a better life once you free of them. That's where the Life Strategies section comes in.

This section contains great information that I enjoyed greatly. In a sense, it's a terrific "bonus".

But again, Mr. Presta does not give resources for further exploration.

Additional Materials

In addition to the manual and the assigned exercises you get an unabridged recording of the manual, a supplemental book The Anxiety Helix, a "Rescue" audio session to use when you're under high anxiety or panic, and for recorded relaxation sessions to be used in conjunction with the other materials.

You also have ongoing access to the download area, so future enhancements and bonuses will be available as soon as they're offered.

In Summary

All in all, this is an excellent system and well worth investigating further.

Like all quality products, this one comes with an excellent guarantee. I've copied it directly from Mr. Presta’s site so you can see what it looks like.

As you see it's pretty straightforward. You have plenty of time to try it. If it works, great. If not, you get your money back - no questions asked. Sounds pretty fair to me.
