Services for Anxiety Relief

Anxiety and panic attacks can be triggered by a range of factors, such as past trauma, overwhelming situations, or even subtle triggers like a sound, smell, or visual cue. So, what sets panic attacks apart from anxiety attacks? It’s all about intensity. When left untreated, anxiety attacks can escalate into panic attacks. Panic attacks are often sudden and unexpected, caused by triggers buried deep in the subconscious, while anxiety attacks are more connected to chronic stress, fatigue, or overwhelm. If you look up “panic attacks” or “anxiety,” you’ll find that most articles use the term “disorder.” But is that truly the right description? As a hypnotherapist, I’m cautious about the language I use because words have a profound effect on our bodies. Negative words create physical tension, while positive words bring relaxation. “Disorder” can carry negative connotations, like fear, dysfunction, and hopelessness. While medical professionals may label panic attacks or anxiety as disorders due to their long-lasting nature, I view them as symptoms. They’re similar to an ongoing cough or a runny nose—they signal something needs to change. The purpose of anxiety and panic attacks is to protect your psyche by alerting you to potential threats, sometimes triggering a response to get you out of danger, even if it means temporarily shutting down other systems.

Real Client Case Study

Every Friday and Saturday, a young man experiences intense anxiety and panic attacks right before family dinners. During these dinners, he feels tense and anxious, struggling with his appetite. Although he pushes through the discomfort, he ends up emotionally and physically exhausted by Sunday, needing a couple of days to recover. By Monday evening, he begins to feel normal again, but as Friday approaches, the anxiety and panic resurface. Over several therapy sessions, he has learned coping mechanisms and breathing exercises, allowing him to manage his symptoms better, though the problem still persists. He seeks my help to fully resolve the issue, as the panic attacks are affecting his relationships, intimacy, and communication at work.

Understanding Your Triggers

Triggers can appear in many forms – whether it’s an old friend’s call that stirs up past memories, the fragrance of a perfume reminding you of a time when your mother visited infrequently, or even encountering someone who reminds you of a painful experience.

Your root cause is unique to you, and it’s crucial not to assume that what others have gone through applies to you. The key to healing lies in discovering your personal answers within.

After multiple therapy sessions, he learned techniques to cope with and breathe through the anxiety. Though the problem isn’t fully gone, he now handles it better and feels more empowered to manage his reactions.
