One of the most difficult things to happen to someone is to be overcome by a panic attack. What begins as stress, fear, and then suddenly turns into a feeling of loss of control over his own body. Your heart starts to beat faster, you can begin to sweat (sometimes significantly), senses are sharper, every sound becomes louder and threatening. You can even develop tunnel vision, feeling numb hands, and in extreme cases, can even begin to hyperventilate.
For all triggers can be different. Traffic, an argument with a boss, threatening gestures to other drivers on the road, fly, crawl spaces, or darkness can trigger a panic attack. All these things can create a debilitating physical experience that scary time of my clients went to the hospital because they thought they were dying.
Since this can be a serious and debilitating problem I would say both short-term strategies and long-term. In the short term, first talk to your doctor is always a good idea. If you have found a large number of these attacks could be a physical chemical imbalance makes you more prone to this problem.
In the long term, hypnotherapy is a very effective tool to help stop this problem. Everyone has stress, but to respond with a panic attack is a kind of survival mechanism, although it is a useful one. And like any defense mechanism, hypnosis can help you discover the root of the problem and heal so that you can respond to stress in a lifestyle statement.
When you are in the moment of having a panic attack following is a strategy that you can use. I'll take the example of driving a car as it is the most common that I see in my office trigger.
1) When you realize that you have a panic attack have. "I'm having a panic attack, this situation is not as bad as it seems that I'm fine. Time to relax. "
2) Put on some relaxing music. Chopin Nocturnes I keep track of my six-CD charger specifically for difficult traffic situations.
3) Take a sip of water. Keep a bottle handy in the car for such situations. It is a relaxing distraction.
4) Listen to the words that float around your head and if it is negative, to correct more life-affirming. For example, the most common phrases seem to be "not sure" or "I'm going to die." Remember "I'm sure everything is fine, it's just the movement, we will be there soon."
Usually, it will help to calm the time until the feeling passes which can often take up to 20 minutes.
If the panic attack, you can start to hyperventilate immediately pull over and turn off the car. Since no one has a bag in the car, I suggest putting her hand over her mouth so that they are forced to focus on the breath, you feel out of control when you're hyperventilating.
Hyperventilation with the problem is not actually release enough CO2. So when it happens, move your focus on the breath and try to do more with each breath.
Ultimately this is a problem that you can get control. Do not make the mistake of having a panic attack then decide not to drive or fly again. Believe me, this is a progressive disease. Panic attacks do not stop to a situation, such as driving. If you give that begin to appear when you go to the mall, movies or any other crowded place and it is just life increasingly small, if you let it. Do not let him get help today.
