Hypnotherapy to Cure Panic Attacks – Does it Work?

Over the years, more and more people have started to suffer from anxiety disorders. As our society seemingly moves forward when considering quality of life and basic human rights, other problems start to arise for the individual. When we don’t have to worry about basic life-sustaining things like getting food and surviving, it seems that we become more exposed to mental conditions such as anxiety and depression. These mental conditions often trigger terrible panic attacks. Fortunately, there are ways to cure and treat these attacks using hypnotherapy. The question remains though: Does hypnotherapy really work, and are there cheaper ways to get rid of these attacks for good?

First, a little bit about panic attacks…

Suffering from anxiety disorders often comes with unpleasant panic attacks that can be a huge burden for the sufferer. These attacks may take a lot of different forms, such as shaking, chest pain, difficulty breathing, excessive sweating, rapid heartbeat and raised blood pressure. What they all have in common though, is that they activate the body’s natural fight/flight-response, and raises the body’s stress-level dramatically. The good news is that the attacks will never be of any real danger to you although they may seem dangerous. Knowing that all the attacks are of the same nature although they always seem different will help us later when evaluating treatment options. More on this later…

So how can I treat or cure my panic attacks?

Now there are two main ways which you can go about “attacking” your panic attacks:

1. Using methods, techniques and medication to suppress the anxiety attack at the moment it occurs. Under this category we have all the coping techniques like deep breathing and positive thinking. Medication like Prozac, Luvox, Zoloft and Paxil are also under this category, which makes you numb to the feelings that come with these attacks. Natural herbal medication also goes under this first category as this also treats the symptoms of the attacks and suppresses them. All these forms of treatment have an immediate effect, and can relieve you of the pain instantaneously. However, they won’t completely cure your anxiety, and consequently won’t cure the attacks long-term.

2. Using methods and techniques to delve into the underlying anxiety and completely remove it, and the following panic attacks. What we are talking about here, is hypnotherapy, and other similar techniques which go beyond a shallow treatment of the panic attacks themselves. These methods and techniques are designed to make your anxiety disappear and therefore also your panic attacks. Since we already know from before that the panic attacks are of the same nature, and that they are a result of the underlying anxiety, why not treat the very thing that causes them?

Okay, so hypnotherapy and similar methods is what can really cure my anxiety. But what does it involve? What’s the process?

When it comes to treating and curing anxiety and panic, the form of hypnotherapy most commonly used is pure hypnoanalysis. This form of hypnotherapy is an extremely effective way to treat the cause of a problem (anxiety). It seeks to reveal the most fundamental underlying problem that causes the symptoms (panic attacks). When it cures the problem, the symptoms will disappear.

In other words, it cures the anxiety which causes the attacks. The result: A life free from both panic attacks and anxiety. This hypnotherapy has been proven to be especially effective for anxiety-related conditions.

To treat panic attacks with hypnotherapy, you’ll need to seek out a therapist. This may sound frightening at first, but they really make an effort to make you feel comfortable. Incidents have been reported where people suffering from attacks have been cured after only one session of hypnoanalysis! Do a search online, and you will find a lot of websites that offer a free consultation where you can have chat with them about your problems. It will be well worth it if you want to live your life free from panic.
