Among the various forms of panic attacks associated with the fear of dying, the most common is the sensation of running out of breath -- to the point of near-total asphyxiation. Both mechanisms -- that of breathing and that of fear -- mutually influence one another in a psychophysiological escalation that culminates in panic and dyspnea. Drawing upon his extensive clinical experience, Giorgio Nardone proposes an effective therapeutic intervention that serves simultaneously as both psychological therapy and respiratory rehabilitation. Furthermore, he offers insightful reflections on the underlying mechanics that fuel the sensation of choking. Breaking the vicious cycle between pathological fear and dysfunctional breathing is both possible and necessary.
