I've never had a panic attack when public speaking.

But I can think of one time I had one because of my claustrophobia. On one of the "cheaper" flights where it's like getting on a bus. So to deal with it, as you brought out, "is to put a management program in place."

The place I experience this most, is on airplane flights. I've certainly done my share. It's a matter of getting a place where I don't feel trapped. Being able to choose an isle seat as far to the front as possible. When exiting, looking down at my feet so I can't see the crowd blocking my way. And a few other techniques that vary depending on the situation.

Your article had excellent advice. Thank you!
