Panic attacks

A panic attack can be a truly terrifying experience. It can seem to come from nowhere and completely take over your body and mind. Many people feel that they are going to die, pass out or completely lose control. The experience itself can be the cause of further trauma so that fear of a further panic attack becomes a strong source of anxiety.

We now have a thorough understanding of what happens during a panic attack. And there are also some very reliable methods for getting over the experience and ensuring that you never go through the same experience again.

Anxiety related issues are the most common reason that people seek our help. Depression and anxiety often occur side by side. One of the benefits of the human givens approach is that we can help regardless of any “label” you might have.

Our approach involves talking to you about your experiences, finding out about your “risk” situations and also times when you are less likely to suffer. We find out what works in your life, and work to identify ways to use what is working to help fix whatever is not working so well. We offer explanations of how the brain works and offer practical techniques which can significantly lower anxiety. We use guided imagery and teach you effective relaxation skills. We also use metaphor and story because we recognise that the brain works by pattern matching.
