Anxiety and Panic

Panic attacks are extremely distressing and can be related to a specific phobia or be more general. Often they can appear to come out of the blue, strike at random and make people feel as if they are about to lose control or faint.

Symptoms can include palpitations, dizziness, shaking sweating, hyperventilating. It is not unusual for Panic attacks to be linked to Agoraphobia which can have a debilitating effect.

Anxiety or Generalised Anxiety can be described as excessive worry which continues over a long period of time and again many of these problems can overlap.

Hypnotherapy can be used in conjunction with CBT to help identify ‘triggers’ and ‘unhelpful thought patterns’ which can lead to anxiety or panic (or both combined) and also help with a range of other more complex phobias. The individual can then re-learn new responses to these ‘triggers’ and replace unhelpful thoughts to learn to become more calm and relaxed in many situations previously believed not possible.
