Help Panic Attacks
There are many alternative therapies for Panic Attacks. A lot of people suffering from them prefer to try a drug-free solution as the medications prescribed can be problematic. Among these therapies is Hypnotherapy or Hypnosis.
We have all seen the movies. We will either be strutting around the office squawking like a chicken or being taken advantage of by a dark and dangerous misfit who loves having us under his power. Right? Well, actually no, nothing could be further from the truth. The real life scenario is not so dramatic but is, nevertheless, just as fascinating.
When we are anxious, we feel it emotionally (fear), we feel it physically (racing heart, nausea, shaking, dry mouth) and we reflect on it (‘I’m going to fail’, ‘I’m going to make a fool of myself’). Hypnosis works on all of these levels by firstly bringing about a state of relaxation and then replacing irrational thoughts with rational ones.
The first step is to find a hypnotherapist you can trust. The best place to start looking is to ask your family doctor if he can recommend anyone. Look for hypnotherapists listed in medical associations or guilds. Always check their qualifications and know that most professional organizations insist their members have at least four years of training. Also, you should be informed – in print – of the name and qualifications of the practitioner who will be working with you, the nature of the service they will provide as well as the fees.
If you have any questions, you should feel comfortable enough to be able to ask them. If you don’t, then there will be doubt in your mind and this is not conducive to hypnotherapy. Also, if you can’t trust that person to answer a question, then how can you trust them with your secrets? You must be able to trust your practitioner completely, otherwise look for someone else. If they are professionals, then they will understand.
Hypnotherapists will ask you questions before the therapy begins. He or she will also explain very carefully what the course involves so that you understand every aspect of the process. Then, there is usually regression therapy, where you are taken back under a state of hypnosis to when the panic attacks began. The idea here is to pin down the cause of the attacks and become emotionally free of them. This cognitive restructuring releases you from the hold that trigger has on you and so they will no longer control you. The therapist should then teach you some self hypnotherapy techniques you can use yourself in times of stress.
Again, unlike the stuff we see on TV or in the movies, you can always remember what went on during hypnosis and this enables you to consciously and subconsciously fight against any recurrence of panic. While this kind of therapy doesn’t work for everyone, there are many who swear by it.
