LEARN TO CONTROL PANIC AND GET RELIEF FROM ANXIETY
Self-Help for Panic Disorder
The info in this app assumes that the user is suffering from panic attacks due to Panic Disorder. It may not be applicable to other forms of anxiety. It focuses on the fear of having a panic attack and the fear of the sensations when having a panic.

Use Panic Assistance audio to coach you when you experience a panic attack and to help you learn to tolerate and control the anxiety symptoms. Also, can be used to assist with exposure therapy for Agoraphobia.
The Panic Assistance audio is not a relaxation or hypnosis audio. It is meant to be firm so as to get your attention while having a panic attack. Relaxation or hypnosis audios are not very useful during a panic. They may be useful to prevent panic, but this audio is focused on reminding you that panic won't harm you and that you can tolerate the unpleasant sensations of panic.
Emotion Training audio can be used as relaxation or you can use it to learn how to access emotions such as calmness or strength when you need to. The audio trains the brain to pair the emotions with certain colors and once you have learned the process, you can elicit the emotions you desire by imagining the paired color flowing through you.
Links to articles at ExcelAtLife.com to help you understand the cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach for anxiety and Panic Disorder.
The general idea of CBT is to repeat rational statements that challenge the irrational fears until the rational beliefs become stronger than the fears. Since it is difficult for a person to do this while having a panic attack, the panic assistance audio in this app helps you to do this. This self-help method can provide the coaching many people need to cope with panic. However, some people may need therapeutic help in addition to this.
Use the relaxation audio to improve your anxiety management skills. Learn to reduce stress and to relax your body using Qi Gong and additional relaxation audios by Excel At Life.
Also, look for "The Worry Box" app for audio to create imagery to reduce worry and related anxiety.
Reason for permissions:
1) READ PHONE STATE AND IDENTITY--necessary when listening to audios to pause playback when phone call is received (Excel At Life never accesses identity)
2) MODIFY DELETE SD CARD CONTENTS--necessary to allow saving data to SD card
3) FULL INTERNET ACCESS AND VIEW NETWORK STATE--necessary to determine if internet access is available when linking to articles and audios

[2013-06-01] A Google User: Wonderful! I downloaded this app in panic mode one night and it is absolutely wonderful! to be able to hear someone say you're not going crazy, you're not dying and actually say things that make sense is great. The fact that it's free is even better. I love this app. |
|
[2013-05-29] A Google User: A real helper From panic, anxiety, restlessness, illness or trouble sleeping the audios on this app are perfect to aid calm and general wellbeing While treating anxiety for the first months it as a real savior. I recommend it to anyone in a stressful situation (which is everyone, these days!). Mountain Cabin with music is my favourite audio: so vivid.The panic assist audio is super helpful if you're on the verge of an attack too. |

I was scared, worried, and felt alone and unhappy so when it started getting worse I wanted to see if any app could help, and this one did I calmed down I feel somewhat not alone anymore. This app is amazing and helped ALOT! Thanxs to whoever made this app. They saved my life. :) |

|
[2013-05-06] A Google User: Do the work. It helps! I read the articles. Did the relaxation exercises and when confronted with panic I used the anxiety help audio. It helped so much. Now when I have an attack I can get myself under control pretty quickly. It takes a lot of the worry out of. " what if I'm out somewhere and panic." I keep a pair of earbuds on me almost always just in case I need help with an attack. Thank you so much |

|
[2013-05-01] A Google User: This is the most comprehensive app for anxiety disorder on the internet. I search periodically for the best app. Utilize the diary (write in it), when u look back on how many times you were scared about something that resolves itself, you start to realize that panic attacks really can't harm u, they never have and never will. |
|

[2013-01-30] A Google User: Nice app. This is a good app but I can't ever go to the website to download the audios. Still I enjoy it. |
|
[2013-01-27] A Google User: Was good now poor Still force closes on diary opening after several updates, now uninstalling. Shame as it was such a good app, but being unable to save to diary or open it kind of defeats the purpose of app |
|
[2013-01-25] A Google User: So great! |
|

|
[2013-01-12] A Google User: From the developer Response to comment about diary not working. I have not received any reports about this problem. Please email me directly (from the app or excelatlife@gmail.com) so I can get details and get it fixed. Thank you. |
|
[2013-01-09] A Google User: Awesome for Anxiety Everything I need in my therapy. So glad I found |
|
[2013-01-06] A Google User: True 5 star app Best app I've seen. Everything is short but informative so that one doesn't get bored in long lessons. Audio section is excellent but needs a downloading option. |
|
[2012-12-19] A Google User: So helpful. Thank you so much for making the audio for use during a panic attack!!! There is nothing else out there like this. I plan on having that audio on standby all the time. It helped!! |
|
[2012-12-18] A Google User: I suffer with severe panic disorder, and unfortunately the only thing I found good was the "panic assistance", as the others didn't help at all. |
|
[2012-12-17] A Google User: A really big help for sleep The audios really help me when I'm feeling anxious, I've not tried it in full blown panic yet but knowing I have it is assuring. Excellent relaxation audio to get to sleep, although it was still playing on repeat when I woke up in morning!?! |
|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: Audio stops This app has been helpful but, when listening to the audios it will stop 10 minutes into it. That is very frustrating when I am trying to calm myself down. I reinstalled the app and am still having the same problem. |
|
[2012-12-06] A Google User: Excellent dose not do This app justice u guys are amazing thank u so much. I would recommend this app to anyone with panic attacks and that only the beginning their are a lot more life changing app:-) |
|
[2012-12-04] A Google User: Excellent app This app is really helpful for those of us who have experienced serious traumas in life. This app has helped me tremendously when I have no one else, at least I cam know this app is there to help me better myself-especially good for self esteem issues and many more problems.. Thank you so much. Highly recommended. :) |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Very helpful It's been great to use as a reminder of episodes and that 'this too shall pass' |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Great!!! I love it, it really soothes me and relaxes me every time I'm breaking into a panic attack. Thank you sooo very much! |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Great I'm 49 and from the UK, I've spent most of my life suffering from anxiety and seen soooo many doctors and psychiatrists, this is the best app and the most helpful thing to carry with you, fill out the diary daily even if you don't feel bad because it's so important to look back and realise it's not as bad as you think. |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: GrandpaC Some usefull information, would be better if you had a go to section when having an attack. |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: brilliant i get anxious an panic attacks after weekends on the drink i listen to this and almost gets completely rid of it just close your eyes an listen .... cheers guys |
|
[2012-11-26] A Google User: Big help This app has helped me a lot when I am on the brink of a panic attack. I have never had any issues with the audio |
|
[2012-11-23] A Google User: It works This App works...I am so thankful it exists. |
|
[2012-11-22] A Google User: Love it! Fall asleep every time i use it so i never hear the ending :-) wish the app shut itself off when the relaxation technique is thru to save battery and heat of phone |
|
[2012-11-19] A Google User: Great help I have combined it with other therapies and I find it is great in an emergency when you have no one to talk to our little time to think. |
|
[2012-11-19] A Google User: love it very helpful this app is great it walks you through the CBT and you don't get hung up on your thoughts and over thinking it. I get to were my mind needs to be more quickly. I feel good about the entries I have because I know that they've helped me. |
|
[2012-11-18] A Google User: A good tool. Well worth a try. A good tool. Gets you working on the problem, but may not be the only or best solution for everyone. |
|
[2012-11-15] A Google User: Anxiety Helpful in troubled times |
|
[2012-11-12] A Google User: GREAT I LOVE THIS APP! If ever I feel worried or am having a panic attack this really works. |
|
[2012-11-07] A Google User: Helpful I find this really helpful when suffering from panic, it genuinely helps me calm down. Also the relaxation and emotion training are very good, help me get to sleep :) recommend this highly |
|
[2012-11-07] A Google User: Love it Great. Total blessing. |
|
[2012-11-06] A Google User: A great way to help myself! This app is so helpful. The articles are written very clearly and the audios are great. The voice used in the audios is very soothing. I find it helps to repeat the words she says, to myself. I had no idea how to control anxiety on my own, but this app shows a very clear pathway to success as long as I keep putting work into it (listening to audios and creating entries in the cognitive behavioral diary). Th cbt diary is a GREAT way to really see the irrational fears for what they are, and to overcome them! |
|
[2012-11-06] A Google User: Helpful must do the work |
|
[2012-11-01] A Google User: Excellent This app had helped me through some difficult times with anxiety and panic attacks. Thoroughly recommended! |
|
[2012-10-28] A Google User: Finally, something that helps! I generally use this for the panic assistance. Sometimes I'll need to listen to it twice, but I usually begin feeling better after just a few minutes. This app has helped me through many panic attacks and has been more helpful than my Dr.-(and free) I hope it works as well for everyone else that goes through these same horrible sensations ~♥ |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: Very relaxing I've been experiencing a lot of anxiety recently. Going for walk normally helps but the anxiety has gotten difficult to get under control. I found this app and tried it out. It has been so helpful and I feel so relaxed afterwards. I have noticed that I feel good for several hours afterwards too. I really enjoy listening to the audio's and recommend this app for relief from anxiety and panic. |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: Very helpful |
|
[2012-10-27] A Google User: I wish this app would work App would not play even downloaded audio I wish it worked. |
|
[2012-10-22] A Google User: amazing this is great- i go to sleep everytime and its so relaxing. |
