It’s always inspiring to hear real life stories of people who have found successful ways of dealing with difficult trauma symptoms.  In this case, Yongey Mingur Rinpoche doesn’t have a trauma history but encountered extreme panic attacks during a three year retreat.   He speaks of using panic as a support for meditation.

His humorous story of being in a retreat room, which he said is “like a hotel but no stars”  is told here in this video clip.
