Research highlights its ability to change the psychological and physiological patterns underscoring the experience of a panic attacks, calming the mind, reducing physical symptoms, and changing the thought patterns that contribute to panic attacks.

Hypnosis works by guiding individuals into a state of deep absorption, relaxation, and increased cognitive flexibility. As a therapist I can help you find solid grounds out of the storm, support your body to slow down and reconnect with a sense of safety and wellbeing. We can then utilise the hypnotic state to introduce new ideas and coping mechanisms to manage and mitigate the intense fear and physical sensations associated with panic attacks symptoms.

Mentally, hypnosis helps break the cycle of fear and anticipation that often precedes panic attacks. Through suggestion, individuals learn to reframe their thoughts, viewing potential triggers in a less threatening light. This mental health shift is crucial in preventing the escalation of anxiety into a full-blown panic attack.

Physically, the relaxation achieved through hypnosis directly counters the acute stress response, leading to a decrease in heart rate, easing of breathing, and reduction of muscle tension. These changes can significantly lessen the severity of panic attack symptoms, providing a sense of control and calm.

Current research supports hypnosis as a complementary treatment for panic attacks, offering a tool that can empower individuals to manage their symptoms more effectively. By addressing both the psychological triggers and physiological responses, hypnosis provides a holistic approach to overcoming panic attacks, enhancing overall well-being and reducing their impact on daily life.
