subject: Having Panic Attacks While Driving? [print this page] When panic creeps up on you when you are on the road you can now use your catchphrase such as "relax" or "peace" to retrigger the relaxation you experienced at home.

This in turn will bring your panic attack either to a screeching halt or to a manageable level.
