Hypnotherapy Panic Attacks NottinghamHypnotherapy for Anxiety and Panic Attacks

Panic attacks can seem to appear out of nowhere and on some occasions even when a person is sleeping. The onset of a Panic Attack is extremely fast with the intense feelings peaking in as little as half an hour and dissipating over the next 2 to 3 hours. The lack of warning with panic attacks can be extremely distressing especially when the individual experiencing the feelings is unaware of what is happening. It is not uncommon for people who are experiencing an attack to end up in Accident and Emergency because they think they are having a heart attack or dying. Our Hypnosis for Panic Attacks Nottingham helps as it teaches you deep relaxation techniques which can help to manage your “fight or flight” response so that you can be in control once more.*

The problem with a Panic Attack is the debilitating effects last well after the attack has finished. In particular, the person who suffered the attack instantly begins to worry that they will experience another which puts them even more on edge.

As panic disorder is generally caused by issues such as stress and anxiety anything that adds to that stress will increase the likelihood of another attack. Hypnosis for Panic Attacks in Nottinghamshire helps to get to the source of the original stress and works with you to reduce its negative impact on your body and mind.*

Panic Attack Symptoms

When we see a client who has one of the common anxiety disorders we know that they are likely to experience common symptoms. These anxiety symptoms can involve intense physical feelings as well as psychological ones. As the physical feelings can be so strong our clients fear that there is something significantly wrong with them. In reality, these feelings have been caused by the fight or flight response and the hormone adrenaline.

Typical Panic Attack symptoms can include:

  • Hyperventilation
  • Dizziness
  • Sweating
  • Increased Heart Rate
  • Hot Flashes
  • Chest Pain
  • Feeling of Choking
  • Extreme Fear
  • Trembling
  • Nausea

Learning coping strategies to use when a panic attack strikes can be such a relief to our clients. Then using clinical hypnosis to help with the root cause can help to address why they may be triggering.

Why Do You Feel Panicked?

Whilst clinical studies are still unclear on the exact causes of panic disorders they are aware that certain issues can make it more likely for you to feel uncomfortable feelings.

We certainly know from working with our clients that anxiety disorders tend to involve:

  • Learned Behaviours From Past Experiences
  • Lifestyle Factors
  • Too Much Stress in Your Life Daily Life

Whilst some people suggest genetics play a part the jury is still out on this. We know that we can help our clients improve their mental health in most cases despite their family background.

Learned behaviours are simply past experiences that have been traumatic for us. When these traumatic or upsetting experiences happen our brain puts in place a safety mechanism to warn us if we are getting close to a similar situation. An example of this may be a child being stuck in a garden shed and being unable to get out when they were young. Their brain learns the lesson that they don’t like being trapped so makes them avoid similar situations in the future. This may lead to them avoiding lifts, tube trains, or any place they may feel enclosed.

Lifestyle factors also play a part. When we put too much pressure on ourselves, are in unhealthy relationships, or drink or take drugs then they take a toll on our mental health. Clinical Hypnotherapy aims to assist people to manage their mental health conditions by changing their lifestyles and finding ways to improve their well-being. When our clients are in a more relaxed state and have increased self-awareness of their triggers they are less likely to feel panic.

Finally, stress management is key to managing anxiety disorders.

Why Stress Management is So Important for Your Well-Being

Intense anxiety and panic are always worse when stress levels are high. This is why relaxation and stress management help is so important with panic disorder.

Our clinical hypnosis sessions focus on creating positive change in your mental health and well-being and we usually start by addressing problems related to stress.

Too much stress means that your mind is unable to switch off which takes its toll. We can all deal with a certain amount of stress however if our levels get too high we reach a tipping point and that is when an anxiety disorder can start.

We assist our clients in managing stress, getting a good night’s sleep, and helping them understand how some simple changes to their routines can make a big difference in how they feel.

Hypnotherapy for Panic Attacks

Hypnosis works so well for Panic Attacks and Anxiety because it is a state of deep focused and concentrated relaxation. In fact, hypnosis will get you into the exact opposite state of the feelings that you are experiencing when you have a Panic Attack.

Generally, your first session of Hypnosis will involve an assessment session that will pay particular attention to any stress that you are currently feeling. During your first session of hypnosis, you will be taught self-hypnosis so that you can practice the deep relaxation techniques at home to start to reduce your symptoms. If you are unaware of where your problem is coming from then your therapist will work with you to find the underlying reason for your problem. Once this problem has been determined suggestions can be made to the subconscious so those negative feelings are controlled.*
