I have suffered from panic attacks for the last two years and then agrophobia the last nine months, Food/allergies related even though I have never in my life had any reaction to any food. This last month I have seen a lot of improvement in how I cope and have started eating food that were on my "not to eat list". I guess I saw the rediculusness of my list that was getting longer and longer. but I also looked up online exersises to losen up my muscles at the back of my neck and head and came across this one and have found it a big help.
Step number one in the learning process: Stand in front of the mirror and raise your eyebrows (contract the frontalis muscles). Step number two: Try to pull back your ears (contract the occipitalis muscles). There will be only a small, almost imperceptible, movement at first when you are trying to pull back your ears. The contraction of the muscles at the front of the head will be easy. These muscles are fully voluntary; the muscles at the back of the head will require a lot of work.
So my question; could the exercises really be helping me think straight? It has surely helped with the tension and eliminated the almost constant headaces I used to have.
