But now every time i think about the fillings i start to panic and i thought that i was going mad cos they would not stop

i think this is similar to my problem. i am aware of the fact that i am having a panic attack and sometimes im very good at challenging those thoughts. But my question is, If i know what brings on the attack why even allow that thought that triggers the attack run through my mind? i think what i need is to learn to reprogram my way of thinking.
I am always good at challenging these outside panic attacks. But, my
problem seems to be that I start the cycle of thoughts that leads to a
panic attack. Does this mean that I need help not creating the
thoughts, or just more practice challenging them to the point where I
can defeat them right away?
