When we experience stress our bodies are subconsciously triggered to respond. See anxiety and stress for further information on the stress response.
These responses are designed to save us in the best way possible when under genuine threat (e.g, being attacked by a wild animal in the forrest!) but can feel very unpleasant and confusing in response to life's modern stresses (e.g., an ‘order’ from the boss, hosting a party...)
During panic attacks, a sudden and often inexplicable barrage of symptoms can leave you feeling completely terrified and drained.
The fear of our own fear results in misinterpretation of our body's natural stress response. This leads to the runaway 'vicious circle' of adrenaline and fear we call panic attacks.
It's very important to remember that the symptoms of a panic attack (described below), although alarming, can not cause you any physical harm.
Staying relaxed during the initial adrenaline burst is the key to beating panic attacks. And responding in a more relaxed fashion to life's many stressors is the key to beating anxiety long term.
With me you can learn all the tools you need to understand the symptoms, reduce the triggering, stop the adrenaline loop and therefore remain relaxed in all the difficult situations you might face in the future.
Over in 2 minutes!
Initially adrenaline is pumped round your body but the direct effects of the initial adrenaline only last 2 minutes at the most. It's the fear of the symptoms experienced that triggers more adrenaline and hence the continuation of the attack (for up to several hours in some cases). So if you could remain calm throughout the initial stage your attacks would be over within 2 minutes! I can teach you techniques that are capable of doing this and so could make panic attacks a thing of the past.
The typical physical symptoms of panic attacks are any of the following:
Racing heart
Difficulty breathing
Trembling or shaking
Feeling dizzy
Sweating
Depersonalisation (feels like you are outside your own body)
Derealisation (feels like the world isn't real)
Feelings of terror
Nausea
Pain in the chest
Feelings that you could lose control, go crazy or even die
Hot/cold flushes
Choking or smothering sensations
Hypnotherapy treatment for Panic Attacks is quite similar to that for generalised anxiety and, as well as addressing your panic attacks, treatment usually helps with any anxiety you are experiencing.
You can learn to understand your adrenaline response as a positive thing
The symptoms will be approached one by one to help you understand them at a deep subconscious level so that the initial rush will no longer need to cause you fear or worry
You'll learn controlled relaxation
Hypnotherapy can teach you how to instantly call on a relaxed state of mind and body whenever you need it
In hypnosis you can relive stressful trigger situations whilst experiencing them from a calm state of emotional well-being.
In a relaxed state things look very different and these insights can be taken away with you
You can discover any distorted or negative thoughts that may be operating subconsciously, in the background, and resolve them in discussion and under hypnosis.
Remove the subconscious triggers to your anxiety
You can discover your own powerful, inner resources for becoming centred and relaxed.
Enable a more relaxed way of responding to the world around you
