What counts as a panic attack, and how can hypnosis help

Panic attacks are epi­so­des of inten­se fear that usual­ly occur unpre­dic­ta­b­ly. The sym­ptoms include strong phy­si­cal sen­sa­ti­ons such as a poun­ding heart, diz­ziness, swea­ting, short­ness of breath, pres­su­re or pain, expe­ri­en­ces of dis­so­cia­ti­on, and fear of even stron­ger symptoms.

A panic dis­or­der can also occur tog­e­ther with other anxie­ty con­di­ti­ons, such as ago­ra­pho­bia or social anxie­ty.

Peo­p­le who are pro­ne to anxie­ty, pos­si­bly trig­ge­red by expe­ri­en­ces during child­hood, can be sus­cep­ti­ble to panic dis­or­ders. The mecha­nism and deve­lo­p­ment of panic then often unfolds as fol­lows: when cer­tain phy­si­cal sym­ptoms appear, they are jud­ged to be dan­ge­rous, alt­hough in most cases they are nor­mal auto­no­mic phe­no­me­na. Sub­con­scious­ly they are asso­cia­ted with sup­po­sed dan­ger. This can be a poun­ding heart or hyper­ven­ti­la­ti­on, for example.

Gene­ral­ly, howe­ver, the­se are enti­re­ly nor­mal bodi­ly reac­tions that are sim­ply mis­in­ter­pre­ted. Trig­gers can include stress, exhaus­ti­on, cer­tain phy­si­cal con­di­tio­ning or medi­cal cau­ses. The mis­in­ter­pre­ta­ti­on then leads to even more fear, which in turn inten­si­fies the sym­ptoms, and a self-rein­for­cing vicious cir­cle of fear, panic and bodi­ly sym­ptoms develops.

Within this cycle the sym­ptoms are then obser­ved ever more inten­se­ly and every occur­rence is jud­ged to be poten­ti­al­ly dan­ge­rous, whereu­pon the fear and the sym­ptoms increase again, and so on. Through this chain reac­tion the likeli­hood of ano­ther panic attack occur­ring actual­ly increa­ses still further.

The fears and phy­si­cal sym­ptoms that ari­se can be very distres­sing and can extend as far as the fear of going mad or of dying.
