Anxiety - You can find help in Lincoln for anxiety and panic attacks.
Sometimes anxiety states and panic attacks are short-term and focussed on an upcoming event. Some people's anxiety, however, can be ongoing and constantly with them.
Short-term anxiety
From time to time we all get a little anxious, whether it’s a job interview, driving test, or exam nerves. If this is at the right level it can actually increase our performance giving us that extra little boost to do whatever we need to do well.
However if the anxiety state becomes too great, then problems occur.
- Driving test nerves
- Exam nerves
- Job interviews
- Wedding day nerves
- Speeches
- Presentations at work
If a person is anxious about an upcoming event, whether it's an exam, a driving test, having to deliver a presentation at work, or even a best man speech, they may just need a little help to get them over that particular obstacle. Suggestion therapy is ideal in these situations. It can help you to be calm and relaxed during those all-important times; help you to present yourself to your best advantage and, above all, to enjoy yourself.
In anxiety states or panic attacks a number of symptoms occur.
- Stomach rumbling
- Constantly needing the toilet
- Dry mouth and finding it difficult to swallow
- Heart rate increase, possibly palpitations
- Difficulty breathing and possible pains in the chest
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness
- Tingling in various parts of the body.
- Shaking
- Fainting
- plus many more
An impending panic attack can often leave the person with a deep sense of dread or a sense that something catastrophic is about to happen.
Long-term anxiety
Some people's anxiety states and panic attacks are not short-term. They live in a constant state of anxiety and may be prone to regular panic attacks; they may exhibit many of the symptoms listed above as well as those below.
- A constant sense of unease
- General tiredness
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Becoming angry easily
- Lacking concentration
- Worrying that they may be "insane"
- Feeling 'detached' from themselves, or their surroundings, as though things were not quite real (dissociation).
If the anxiety does not seem to be connected with anything in the present, or it is there all the time, then there will be some bottled up emotions from the past that are the cause. In this case hypnoanalysis is the best way to proceed.
If you are unsure which is the best way for you to take control of your anxiety, why not come along for a free consultation.
