A panic attack can include some or all of the following symptoms: racing or irregular heartbeat, dizziness or faintness, sweating, shaking, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, churning stomach or nausea, tingling or prickly feelings in limbs (legs turning to jelly), tightness in the throat, chest pains, ringing in the ears, and a feeling of disconnection form the body.
A panic attack happens when the body is in fight or flight mode and very powerful chemicals are produced, such as adrenaline and cortisol, to help you escape from a dangerous situation. They can be triggered by a traumatic experience, or by a build up of stress.
It is also common for someone who has experienced a panic attack to become fearful of, or to avoid, the situation in which they experienced the attack.
Hypnotherapy is especially effective at reducing stress and anxiety, and calming down the responses to triggers that have lead to panic attacks. We will help you to learn how to relax and remain calm, to build confidence that you will be able to deal with whatever comes up, and teach you techniques to put you back in control.
