Anxiety attacks / panic attacks

                                                                                    Panic attacks usually occur after the symptoms of stress have been ignored. This seems to happen all by itself but it is actually built up by thoughts beforehand. After the first panic attack occurs, the worry begins where the person dreads it happening again. The thought of it happening again is replayed over and over until it becomes a conditioned feeling of dread whenever the thought is thought. The more that it’s thought, the more conditioned it becomes, so that it is inevitable that the negative scenario will occur. When it obviously does occur, and it will occur because you have programmed it to do so in your mind, you then feel validated and say “I knew it would happen”.

 

The fact that it happens again and again is due to the re-thinking of old memories of previous panic attacks and then imagining future scenarios of seeing yourself in some kind of negative imagined scenario. Imagining yourself acting in some ridiculously negative way, such as totally freaking out and making a fool of yourself in the most stupid ways imaginable. This might seem ludicrous but this is what people do to themselves in their minds. Most people do not even realise that they are doing it to themselves, though. The more you do it, the worse you feel. Whenever we get something like a panic attack it is a signal from your body, which is telling you that something is wrong with the way you are living. These signals that we receive — whether it is a headache or palpitation — should not be ignored because if we do, they will become worse.

 

Panic attacks or anxiety attacks which are the same thing are seriously disturbing to the sufferer with an even greater heightened anxiety level after each attack. The sufferer dreads the next one and then avoids situations that they believe another one might occur. Hot flushes and shakes are the most common symptoms of such a condition where the person can become faint or believe they might pass out. Plenty of mental and physical relaxation is the key to solving this problem with thought re-training to finish it off. The future behaviour reversal exercise contained in The Principles of Life book will help to create the necessary mindset for a new behaviour strategy to begin in place of the old one.

 

If you have or are suffering from panic attacks do not despair there is help. On a personal level if it is convenient you can also come to see me personally. Panic attacks are usually tricky and require a minimum of three sessions for successful resolution with further reinforcing of the therapy on the clients part. If seeing me personally is not possible or if money is an issue a full and detailed recovery plan is given in the principles of life book where the thought re-training technique is explained as well as some more mental relaxation exercises to bring about more emotional peace.

 

 Contained inside the book are the strategies for overcoming the panic attacks and leaning to neutralize the real cause. Do not be put off by the simplicity of reading a book to help you as many people have found it very effective for them with a cessation of anxiety after using the many exercises contained.

Check out the book forward & introduction in this site for how it can help you.

 

I am a firm believer in the power of music in its ability to help in the reduction of anxiety attacks. I have found that certain types of music have a definite effect on our mood and our emotions. Over the years I have tried and tested many audio CD’s. Listed HERE are the ones I have found the most beneficial to myself and my clients in helping to reduce anxiety and panic attacks.
