Why Visualization Is One Of The Best Panic Attack Remedies

I’ve tried the obvious panic attack remedies – namely, professional therapy and medication. The problem is that when the sessions finally ended two years later, I was not totally cured. I still hand lingering discomfort related to anxiety and panic. The fear that an attack could strike at any moment didn’t help. That’s when I did a lot of reading on visualization and relaxation remedies. The first time I tried relaxation, I had help from a psychiatrist who taught me how to perform self-hypnosis. I talk about this method in another post. It was just the beginning. Using the methods […]

Where Can You Find Help For Anxiety?

I was fortunate in that I found help for anxiety quickly, although it was actually panic by the time I did. I waited too long, instead of seeking help as soon as anxiety struck.

You could go it alone, but you don’t have to when there are some quality panic attack treatments around. How do I know this? Because I suffered with panic and anxiety disorder for years. For me, recovery began with my therapist who sat and listened to my lengthy sagas about my most recent feelings and fears. My file was immense two years later when we parted ways. Oh, I wasn’t cured, exactly. He just decided that he couldn’t really help me much more than what he had, with the medications and talk therapy. That’s when I realized I’d have to […]

How To Use Hypnosis As An Anxiety Relief Remedy

You can hire a hypnotist or you can hypnotise yourself. I’ve done it and you can too, if you are serious about finding an anxiety relief remedy that works when you want it to. Find some relaxing music. If you don’t have any, there are a lot of great CDs around. Choose something you enjoy that also calms you. For me, it is Hawaiian instrumental music. I find it extremely relaxing, plus it enables me to easily conjure up images of those luscious islands, blue skies and sandy beaches. Turn on the music, then find a comfortable and quite place […]
