A viewer asks: “My mother (who is 84) and lives on her own has been suffering from extreme panic attacks (e.g., when she can’t find something) and keeps repeating at times over and over how unhappy and miserable she is and how unable to cope with life. At other times she can be centered and lucid. She has been having these difficulties for some years now, though she is physically well.” What is causing this and what can we do to help?

These are examples of a cognitive misfiring where she loses the thread in terms of having a good memory of prior sequential events, and when she cannot fill in the blank, becomes anxious and perceives this as a danger. This is ramped up by prior karmic history of dementia and so there is a deep inner fear of losing herself in this way, so any disruption in thinking, in processing information, or recall of factual events will trigger inner fear and this is what leads to the panic attacks she has been experiencing. The attitude she holds about this is contributing to the problem greatly. As you know, dementia is self-created through a desire of the mind to shut down and this is paradoxical that in achieving this capability, if only to a small degree, is actually worsening things greatly because it becomes a visible demonstration of how this is proving to be reality, and getting worse, and this will feed on itself and accelerate to a worsening if there is no intervention to change the direction of things. This you can do with a Lightworker Healing Protocol session, but the ideal would be to do subconscious channeling work in support, so that could be proposed.
