During an anxiety attack, you're mind automatically scans the environment to look for the culprit as a way of protecting you from future threats. Often times, your mind pairs the anxiety attack with things or events that are completely unrelated to the onset of your anxiety. External cues get paired with the initial anxiety attack, and can provoke subsequent attacks (You can try natural cures for panic attacks).


For example, if you had an anxiety attack on a train, just thinking about the train can make you extremely panicky. This eventually leads to avoidance of places, things, and even people that trigger your fear. Pretty soon, you'll find your comfort zone crowding in around you. This is why it's important to extinguish your anxiety as soon it happens!


There are two components of anxiety that you want to focus on: the physical sensations of arousal, and the thoughts/images that fuel your anxiety. You can unlearn your anxiety response by gradually immersing yourself in fearful sensations and imagery until it no longer has an affect on you.
