Anxiety and Panic Attack You are not alone Anxiety is often accompanied by physical sensations such as heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, stomach aches, or headache. Somatically the body prepares the organism to deal with threat (known as an emergency reaction or 'flight or fight syndrome'): blood pressure and heart rate are increased, sweating is increased, blood flow to the major muscle groups is increased, and immune and digestive system functions are inhibited. Externally, somatic signs of anxiety may include pale skin, sweating, trembling, and pupillary dilation. Emotionally, anxiety causes a sense of dread or panic and physically causes nausea, diarrhoea, and chills. Behaviourally, both voluntary and involuntary behaviours may arise directed at escaping or avoiding the source of anxiety. It is a common emotion and millions suffer on a daily basis with anxiety and panic attack. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. It helps one deal with a tense situation in the office, study harder for an exam, keep focused on an important speech, etc. In general, it helps one cope. But when anxiety becomes an excessive, irrational dread of everyday situations, it has become a disabling disorder. I deal with anxiety and panic attack on an almost daily basis, using various therapeutic techniques, and in almost all cases clients report complete and lasting freedom. Fear and Phobia Are you afraid? Fear of flying, animals, outdoors, driving etc.  Are you afraid of these things irrationally?  All fears and phobias are very debilitating. Hypnotherapy can set you free from them allowing you to enjoy life and all that it has to offer to the full.  Imagine your dream holiday and being able to enjoy it without that constant nagging fear of flying in the back of your mind. Because it should be some of the best times of your life.
