hello all I thought I'd just write a update on how i'm doing if any of you remember the post i wrote a few weeks ago i was the pro-boxer who suffered panic attacks while sparring in preparation for my fights and had been for a long while anyway after the advice i got on this site i bought 3 things a book on the subconcious mind, a hypnotic tape on panic attacks and a hypnotic tape on positive thinking and am pleased too say i have been sparring three or four times a week for the past two weeks and have not suffered an attack the first two times sparring i was a bit nervous and it took great control of my thoughts(being positive) but I managed it and the past four or five hard sparring sessions i have been concentrating on improving my boxing rather than having a panic attack and got my confidence back so thank you all for the advice i will continue to do my best (that last fight i had was a blessing in disguise it made me address the problem instead of ignoring it)
