Panic Attacks

Panic attacks can be extremely frightening. They can range from feelings of fear, hot or cold sweating, increased heart rate, churning of the stomach. In severe cases pains in the heart, which often make the sufferer feel as though they are about to have a heart attack.

Why do our Anxiety levels rise?

Our anxiety levels can raise gradually over days, weeks, months, years even. And a panic attack is when you can no longer cope with the levels of anxiety, so our body goes in to the fight, flight or freeze response. It is therefore very important to address your levels of anxiety at this point. Unless they are reduced panic attacks can reoccur. Often by association with a particular situation, sensation like smell, touch or a place. These situations acts as a trigger for the brain to go into the same panic response.
Panic Attacks can be debilitating. And can often result in ones life becoming more insular to avoid particular situations. This of course, in extreme, can lead to conditions such as agoraphobia. Hypnotherapy tackles the anxiety levels so that we can begin to enable you to cope better and regain control.

Viv is fantastic – I’ve noticed a huge change in myself, not only in confidence but in mindfulness and the ability to cope with many situations in ways I would have struggled with before.
Around Viv, in her lovely cosy studio, I felt instantly comfortable and relaxed. She focuses on exactly what you need there and then and truly cares about improving your life.
It’s nothing like ‘in the movies’ and I’d highly recommend hypnotherapy treatment!

I booked to see Viv after losing all my confidence riding my horse following a bad fall last year. I was plagued with negative thinking and constantly waiting for bad things to happen, I felt like I would never be able to enjoy riding again, definitely never jump or hack by myself confidently again. After having a few sessions I felt a noticeable change in my mindset and I had a new outlook in not only riding my horse but in my life in general. I’m now able to hack out confidently not only with others but by myself and have managed to start jumping again and actually enjoying having my horse. Viv has a fantastic way of explaining things and puts you at ease straight away and makes the sessions interactive and positive. I would 100% recommended Viv and I feel the sessions I had have been invaluable to my on going health and happiness!
