Panic attacks and phobias
Eliminating panic attacks
Anyone who has ever experienced a panic attack knows just how draining and disorientating it can be. It happens when something in our environment triggers the ‘fight or flight’ stimulus within us – a natural response that our ancestors used in centuries past when life was more dangerous and unpredictable. When we feel very anxious, nervous or frightened our systems are overwhelmed by adrenalin, and this leads to a panic attack. The physical symptoms include amongst others:
- breathlessness;
- feeling light-headed;
- sweating;
- shaking;
- and a sense of being detached from reality.
Naturally this can leave us feeling extremely anxious, upset - and embarrassed too if it happens in a public place. Sometimes the fear of panicking and the unwanted attention or humiliation this may bring that heightens this state too.
Panic attacks can lead to phobias developing if not treated in good time.
Hypnosis can address this behaviour and its causes, ensuring that an individual can react in a more appropriate way in any given situation. Understanding what triggers the panic, learning how to control physical feelings, and mentally feeling calm, confident and strong, can free an individual from these debilitating occurrences.

Resolving Phobias
Does a phobia rule your life? Do you want to live your life without fear?
Do you want to stop worrying and feel normal again? Enjoy life without anxiety?
All this is possible through the use of hypnosis and mind mastery techniques. This approach re-educates the brain so that instead of reacting negatively to the stimulus (your phobia) you feel calm and in control of the situation. In some cases you may even enjoy the experience – it’s not unusual for someone who conquers their fear to then embrace the subject because they are no longer constrained by their phobia (such as the terrified flyer who overcomes their fear through hypnosis and then jets off to a different destination every month!).
Hypnosis works by undoing the connections an individual has made between a stimulus and fear. Whilst in hypnosis, a relaxed and pleasurable state, your mind is much more open to new, positive and empowering suggestions. This process releases old negative and fearful thoughts and replaces them with fear-free, safe, and good ones instead.
