PANIC
ATTACKS
A panic attack
is a very emotional signal - a definite cry from the heart - that you
are not facing and becoming aware of those aspects of your life that you
need to address because they either bring you pain, are harmful, or dangerous.
Panic attacks are characterised by an experience of severe fear and intense
emotions. These emotions result in powerful accompanying physical reactions
such as fainting, difficulty in breathing, palpitations.
It is said that panic attacks are no more than exaggerated phobias. It
generally follows that the body will go into spasm if it is bombarded
with conflicting messages. Often, you do not know whether you should 'fight
or flight' and you do neither.
The problem is further exacerbated by the fact that you now fear the fear
itself. You fear having a panic-attack and losing control. It is one of
the fundamental laws of the mind that "Whatever you imagine, will
come about."
You now are a panic-attack looking for a place to happen.
A panic attack
is usually accompanied by shortness of breath, dizziness or faintness,
increased heart rate, trembling and shaking, hot or cold flushes, and
a sense of detachment.
Although it might appear that the panic attack comes 'out of the blue'
it is triggered by certain stimuli. It could be a thought or a particular
circumstance that triggers the unconscious pattern. Althought the sufferer
may not realise it you do have the choice to reject this faulty pattern
if you wish.
The solution is simple because the problem is not real.
Hypnotherapy will assist and teach you to relax and simply turn the faulty
thought pattern around. The body is continuously changing, replenishing,
and rebuilding itself at every moment and it has no other pattern to follow
in doing so except the guidance given to it by the mind. So once you have
corrected the distorted pattern the physical tensions that cause the panic
attacks disappear.
