PANIC AND ANXIETY. THIS SAVED ME. ARREST YOUR THOUGHTS!
THOUGHTARREST…. WHAT?
Thoughtarrest is my way of examining and evaluating my thoughts. It is not something that I came up with but thoughtarrest is my term for it. You will agree with me that panic attacks, Generalised Anxiety Disorder(GAD) or plain anxiety can paralyze you.

This thoughtarrerst has not only helped me with my panic attacks but its use and understanding have had a big impact on my life.
The inspiration is from 2 Corinthians 10:5 King James Version (KJV), Bible Gateway:
“and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ”
WHY MUST YOU ARREST YOUR PANIC THOUGHT?
The Police will arrest someone for a few reasons: To prevent that person from doing more harm, to investigate the person and to bring that person before a court of law.
Now why can't we do that with our panic and anxiety thoughts!
Here’s the deal.
Imagine the thought…… You know the normal panic stuff like:
I’m having a heart attack
I’m going to faint
Do I have a dreadful disease?
Why is there a lump in my throat, is it even a lump? Isn’t it something worse?
