• Do you ever hyperventilate or experience heart palpitations?
• Do you have an extreme fear of losing control or often feel as though you are going to die?
• Do you ever find that you suddenly begin sweating, trembling or become short of breath?
• Do you often experience periods of intense fear and discomfort?
• Do you want to overcome your panic attacks in an easy and controlled manner?

Panic attacks can suddenly affect many people at certain points in their life and can be extremely detrimental to those who suffer from them. There may be an obvious trigger for them such as an intense fear, but often they can seem to have no apparent cause making them much more difficult to treat. Sufferers will often feel the effects after huge releases of stress hormones such as cortisol and this can be extremely damaging to both physical and mental health for the rest of the day.

Methods such as hypnosis are very good as aids to reduce panic attacks as they incorporate relaxation into the daily routine and so can provide a good method or technique for calming the body down. Hypnosis works by contacting the unconscious mind, enabling those who use it to identify areas of their lives and personality that they wish to change and this can become apparent even after only undergoing a few sessions.

Hypnosis can be an extremely useful tool when helping you to overcome panic attacks by:

• Helping you to relax more and being able to access a state of tranquility at any point during the day. Although hypnosis works best when incorporated into the daily routine, it can also be used when you feel a panic attack coming on in order to minimize the effects it has on you.
• Hypnosis can aid you in minimizing feelings of fear and discomfort in your life. It can help you realize that they are very often irrational and give you the mental strength to overcome them.
• It can allow you to reduce the effects of panic attacks and allow you to overcome them in a much healthier way by giving you vital relaxation techniques and helping you to reach an inner place in your mind where you can feel calm and safe.
• Most importantly, hypnosis is able to help you to remain in control at all times and know that you are in charge of your body and you have the mental strength and determination to overcome any panic attack or stressful situation that comes your way.
• Eliminate negative feelings as these are able to contribute to panic attacks. By having a much more positive outlook on life, you are able to feel much more happy and relaxed and thus significantly reduce your chances of panic attacks.
