Well, this may be easier said than done when applying it to this particular situation, but with more mundane everyday matters, you can work to overcome the fear/panic by acknowledging it and then refusing to react to it.
It goes something like this: "I feel terrified. I feel my heart pounding and I feel like I'm being watched. This is only a panic reaction. It is real, I am feeling it, but it does not mean I am in danger. I do not need to react to it. If I don't react to it, it will pass on its own. I just have to wait through it."
That's what my own inner dialogue looked like, anyway. At first, the best you can do is hang on and let it crash over you and just try hard not to get swept away. In time, you get to where you can sort of ride above it, and while you're very aware of it, you don't get sucked in. Eventually, you can just brush it off, and even stop it before it starts because you get to know the pre- symptoms.
It does work, trust me. It can take a while to get there, but if you consistently work at doing this, you WILL get control over it.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
