Panic attacks
Dealing with panic and anxiety is one of the things I do most. Panic attacks are being seen more and more and often the GP is only able to prescribe beta blockers and similar drugs. Increasingly, people do not want to take drugs but do not want to live with panic either.
Hypnosis can help as the most important thing to achieve in any panic situation is relaxation. I use hypnosis to create the relaxation and to make positive, beneficial suggestions, relating to the anxiety. I also use EFT - emotional freedom technique, to deal with the root causes of the panic. EFT is a simple tapping technique, working with the bodies’ energy system and is based on the idea that we store emotional angst in our bodies. We can relieve this stored emotion by tapping the energy system with our finger tips.
Panic is always felt in the body, so working directly with that feeling, we tap the energy points until the feeling subsides. We also look at the emotions behind the panic, so if the client feels tired/stupid/useless/out of control, because of the panic attacks they are suffering, we work with that too.
Panic attacks can be successfully dealt with using this combination therapy and is a highly effective tool.
