Anxiety is a manifestation of our instinctual fight or flight responses, and a small degree of anxiety in everyday life is normal. However when feelings of anxiety become uncomfortable, more intense, more frequent or last longer, then anxiety and fear interfere with everyday life - often quite severely. The Trigger for these attacks can be specific (e.g. an event, object, person, animal, etc) or completely random. There are a wide range of symptoms, ranging through mild anxiety, panic attacks, fears and phobias - with the effects lasting from seconds to weeks.People who suffer from any form of anxiety experience it differently with a combination of the following physical and emotional problems:
- Shortness of breath or a feeling of being smothered
- Heart palpitations - pounding heart
- Sweating
- Nausea or abdominal distress
- Dizziness, unsteadiness, or faintness
- Hot and cold flushes
- Trembling or shaking
- Feeling of choking
- Numbness, pain, or tingling in limbs, lips, face
- Pain in chest, upper back, shoulder blades
The causes of anxiety and panic attacks are many and varied and hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for providing coping skills (in the form of relaxation techniques to slow the heartbeat and gain control and balance quickly). Hypnotherapy can alleviate symptoms through suggestion work and uncover the original cause and allow a new understanding through hynoanalysis.
