Cognitive Hypnotherapy for Panic Attacks

Panic attacks can arrive suddenly, leaving you breathless, dizzy, or convinced something terrible is happening. You might feel like you’re losing control, going mad, or having a heart attack. Even after it passes, the fear of it happening again can take over—leading to avoidance of places, people, or situations. This hypervigilance shrinks your world. Over time, it’s not just the panic that’s exhausting—it’s the constant worry about it returning.
Reasons Why You Might Have This Problem:
Panic attacks are often the result of your nervous system becoming overwhelmed. You might have lived through intense stress, unresolved trauma, or simply a period of carrying too much for too long. Sometimes the first panic attack comes “out of the blue”—but once your mind links a certain place or feeling with danger, the fear loop begins. Your body starts scanning for signs, and the fear of fear becomes the trigger. It’s not attention-seeking, weakness, or irrational—it’s your system trying to keep you safe.
Reasons You Might Resist Getting Treatment:
You may have been told it’s “just anxiety” or felt dismissed by professionals who didn’t take your symptoms seriously. You might also fear that talking about it will make it worse—or that therapy will involve reliving difficult experiences. Some people worry that panic is something they’ll always have to live with, and don’t see how anything could help. Others simply don’t want to talk about it at all, because it feels too vulnerable.
Why Cognitive Hypnotherapy Can Help:
Cognitive Hypnotherapy offers a calm, supportive way to interrupt the panic cycle. It helps you recognise early warning signs and develop tools to ground yourself before the spiral takes hold. We work with your unconscious mind to shift the associations and beliefs that are keeping panic in place—so your body no longer interprets certain sensations or settings as threats. Sessions are personalised, gentle, and focused on restoring a sense of safety and control. You won’t be pushed—you’ll be supported to move at your own pace, until your body starts to believe you really are safe.
