Panic attacks and phobias

Panic attacks are characterized by a sudden and with no prior warning increased anxiety and an intense physiological arousal with the following main symptoms;

  • Dizzy spells leading to panic
  • Tightness in throat and chest- shortness of breath
  • Racing heart with tingle sensations
  • Hot flushes followed by waves of anxiety
  • Obsessive worries and unwanted thoughts
  • Not feeling connected to what is going on around you

People who have experienced a panic attack may also have one or more of the following;

  • Ended up in the hospital thinking you were having a heart attack only to be told that it was anxiety.
  • Fear that you might stop breathing because of the pain in your chest and your shallow breathing.
  • Feel uncomfortable in enclosed spaces and in public transport.
  • Feel nervous and on the edge in normal situations that would never bother you before.
  • Feel nervous and afraid you might lose control or go insane.

However severe the symptoms may seem while they last, the duration of a panic attack is only 15 to 30 minutes. But for those who have experienced this seemingly short period of time seems like an endless martyrdom of potential suffocation.

The current treatment plans for panic attack sufferers can only offer anxiolytic medication that num the symptoms but do not cure the cause of the problem.

How can Hypnotherapy help?

Hypnotherapy can help control the mind and deal with the fear that triggers these sensations once and for all. By learning how to remain relaxed, you can tackle all your negative feelings and thoughts from a different perspective and regain control over any fearful situation in total confidence. Hypnotic scripts and post hypnotic suggestions will empower the mind to remain indifferent to the provoking stimulus of the panic attack.

Discussions in the frame of CBT and Discursive Empowerment will shift the "reality" of the fearful event to a neutral setting.

NLP techniques will reframe the power of the mind to remain calm and in control of the physiology of the body in forthcoming similar anxiety-provoking situations.
