Can Hypnosis Help You Deal With Panic Attacks?

Panic or anxiety attacks can severely impair your ability to enjoy everyday life and for many sufferers, the effects of panic attacks can be completely debilitating. Even worse, many people who suffer from panic attacks have been unable to find relief through traditional methods.

If you are one of these people, then you should SERIOUSLY consider using hypnotherapy to deal with your anxiety issues.

If you are like many people, you have probably explored every traditional treatment option available in an attempt to rid yourself of anxiety. Unfortunately, while these approaches are held as “standards” by the medical and psychological communities, they offer little benefit to most panic attack sufferers. Counselling, for example, is a slow process that can take months to produce meaningful results - long enough to make many sufferers simply give up and while prescription medications can be effective, the side effects that they produce can often be worse than the panic attacks themselves.

Hypnotherapy, unlike traditional panic attack treatments, is both safe and effective. It has helped thousands of panic attack sufferers reduce the frequency and severity of their symptoms - in many cases, hypnotherapy can even eliminate anxiety altogether.

Panic attack sufferers tend to shy away from hypnotherapy as a treatment option because they do not understand how it works. It is a common misconception that hypnotherapy is somehow a form of “mind control” - an idea propagated by stage hypnotists who make their living by convincing people to act like chickens. People tend to think that they will not be in control while under hypnosis, and that they will not be able to recall what occurred during hypnosis sessions. So,

WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?

Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state of concentration. That is the definition !

But the actual state of hypnosis is a little harder to define. Until recently it was assumed that it was similar to sleep, or that the mind was somehow unconscious. In reality, there is a specific state that the brain enters into when it is receptive to suggestion. This has been discovered on scans during hypnosis.

It is not an unusual state of mind, and may feel like you are not in a trance, or in hypnosis. For most people they simply feel relaxed. There is a change in the brain wave activity, similar to that time just before sleep when the alpha state is entered. Your brain's waking state is a beta brain wave, just as you are going to sleep it changes to alpha and then to delta and theta in deep sleep.

The alpha state is a very dreamy, pleasant state. During this time the mind is very open to visualizations and creating a rich sensory experience. The more real the experience becomes in the subconscious mind during this state, the more effect it will have on your waking behavior.

An incredibly popular way of treating anxiety or panic attacks is by using self hypnosis downloadsto use in your own time at home.

One of the most successful hypnotherapists in the US is
Wendi Freisen at www.wendi.com.

Wendi Friesen has a great range of titles, some of which are not your average hypnosis session. I have found Wendi Friesen products to be very professionally produced and very reasonably priced. You have the option of downloading Wendi Friesen digital products directly from her site or you can purchase them in traditional formats.

The fact is, Wendi has one of the largest collections of hypnosis CDs you can find online. Any topic you can imagine, you can find on Wendi's site.

If the sheer volume of hypnosis CDs doesn't surprise you, the homey feeling might. That's one thing I like about being a customer of Wendi's. She makes you feel like you're one of the family. Customer support is excellent; and sales are a common occurrence.

Although Wendi Friesen offers the usual titles such as building self-confidence, weight loss, body building and phobias etc., she also offers some other interesting cds and mp3s such as ‘Sensual Woman'  ( Hypnosis to enhance the sexual response or women) and the ‘Big O’ (designed to heighten a woman’s pleasure with you know what!).
