Why use Integrated Therapy & Hypnosis for Panic Attacks?

First, let me put your mind at rest – if you are suffering from anxiety or panic attacks you are not alone. It is estimated that one in four people in the UK are suffering from some form of anxiety and it is probably the most common problem presented at a general hypnotherapy practice. I think it’s important to know this because it can feel like a very lonely and frightening experience. However, the good news is you have come to exactly the right place because hypnosis for panic attacks is one of the best treatments to help with anxiety disorders and is a key focus for the Wisdom Room.

As you are probably aware if you have suffered from any kind of anxiety – some of the most common physical symptoms can include a speeding heart rate, shortness of breath, dry mouth, sweaty palms, a tight chest, headaches, or a bad stomach while the psychological symptoms can include feeling tense, agitated, irritable or even paranoid. Clients often describe a fear of ‘losing control’, ‘climbing the walls’ or the dread that something bad is going to happen (such as blackout, seizure, heart attack, or death).

What happens when we have a Panic Attack?

When we are anxious, the physical symptoms are partly caused by the brain which sends lots of messages down nerves to make the heart, lungs, and other parts of the body ‘work faster’. In addition, you release stress hormones (such as adrenaline) into the bloodstream which affect the body. All of these changes form part of the classic ‘fight or flight’ syndrome. This is a natural and automatic response we have built in all of us since cavemen as a protection mechanism.

While useful when faced with real danger, (like a hungry tiger) this response can be problematic if it’s stimulated by events or situations which don’t hold any real danger or where the threat has been created internally and is not ‘externally real’.

Panic attacks can occur unexpectedly or in response to a specific trigger. They are usually brief, lasting a few minutes, but can be extremely distressing. Recurrent panic attacks may indicate a panic disorder, a type of anxiety disorder that often requires treatment, which can include therapy, medication, or a combination of both.

Can Hypnotherapy help with Panic Attacks?

YES! Hypnosis may help some individuals manage and reduce the frequency and intensity of panic attacks.

Hypnotherapy for panic attacks typically involves:

1. Relaxation Techniques: Hypnosis induces deep relaxation, which can counter the physical tension and anxiety associated with panic attacks.

2. Identifying Triggers: Jane can work with you to identify the specific triggers or situations that lead to panic attacks.

3. Cognitive Restructuring: Hypnotherapy can assist in changing negative thought patterns and irrational fears that contribute to panic attacks.

4. Desensitization: Hypnosis may help desensitize you to the anxiety-provoking situations, making them less triggering.

5. Self-Hypnosis: You may learn self-hypnosis techniques to manage anxiety in real-time, which can be useful during a panic attack.

6. Reframing Thoughts: Jane can help you reframe negative thought patterns, promoting a more positive and stress-resistant mindset.

7. Coping Strategies: You can learn effective coping strategies, such as visualization or self-hypnosis, to manage stress in daily life.

8. Addressing Root Causes: Hypnotherapy can explore the root causes of stress, such as past traumas, and help you process and resolve them.

9. Increased Resilience: Hypnotherapy may boost your emotional resilience, helping you handle stressors more effectively.

10. Enhanced Mindfulness: Hypnosis can promote mindfulness and mental clarity, which can lead to a more relaxed state.

11. Muscle Relaxation:  Hypnosis for relaxation can guide you to relax your muscles, which can physically release tension and contribute to an overall sense of relaxation.

12: Improved Breath Work: Hypnotherapy may include techniques to help regulate your breathing, slow your heart rate, and instill a sense of calm.
