Individualized help when your mind and body seem to hit the alarm button.
When Panic Starts Running the Show
Panic can feel confusing because part of you may know you are safe while your body reacts as though something is wrong.
The racing heart. The tightening. The rush of fear. The urge to escape. And sometimes, the fear of having another panic attack becomes a pattern of its own.
Hypnosis offers a way to work with those automatic responses rather than simply trying to reason your way out of them. We look for the patterns connected with your panic and use individualized hypnosis to help you begin responding differently.
Sessions are available virtually by Phone, Zoom or Microsoft Teams. You remain aware and in control throughout the process.
Panic does not have to keep running the show.
How Does Hypnosis for Panic Attacks Work?
Hypnosis uses focused attention to help you become less caught up in the automatic reactions associated with panic. In this more focused state, we can work with the thoughts, sensations, expectations, and patterns that may have become connected with the panic response.
Rather than repeatedly analyzing why you panic, I listen for the patterns beneath what is happening and individualize the hypnosis around you. The goal is to help you begin responding to those familiar sensations and situations differently.
Is Hypnosis for Panic Attacks Safe?
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention, similar to becoming absorbed in a book, a conversation, prayer, or another meaningful experience. You remain aware and in control throughout the session.
Hypnosis does not mean giving up control or being made to do something against your will. You can speak, move, think, and respond throughout the process.
Hypnosis can be used as a complementary approach and is not a substitute for appropriate medical or mental health care. If panic symptoms are new, severe, or unexplained, it is important to discuss them with an appropriate healthcare professional.
How Many Hypnosis Sessions Are Needed for Panic Attacks?
There is no set number of sessions because people experience panic differently.
Some people come with a very specific situation or trigger. Others have experienced panic in several settings or have begun changing their lives because they are worried about when another episode might happen.
I work individually rather than placing everyone into a predetermined program. After each session, we look at what has changed and decide whether additional work would be useful.
The goal isn’t to keep you coming back. The goal is to help you move forward.
Can Hypnosis Help When I Seem Fine to Everyone Else?
Yes. Panic isn’t always obvious to the people around you. You may be capable, responsible, and handling everyday life while privately dealing with racing thoughts, physical sensations, fear, or the worry that another panic attack could happen.
You don’t have to look distressed for what you’re experiencing to be disruptive.
Hypnosis gives us an opportunity to work with those internal patterns without trying to change who you are. You’re still you. The aim is to change the response that has been getting in your way.
Where Are Hypnosis Sessions Available?
Wisdom Hypnosis is located in Palm Harbor, Florida, where in-person sessions are available for clients who prefer to come to the office.
I also work with clients virtually by Phone, Zoom or Microsoft Teams, making individualized hypnosis available well beyond the Tampa Bay area.
Whether we meet in person or virtually, your session is live, personal, and individualized. I listen to what is happening for you and bring that information into the hypnosis we do together.
What Makes This Approach Different?
With more than 25 years of experience, I don’t begin with a predetermined script or assume that everyone who experiences panic experiences it for the same reason.
I listen. I ask questions. And I pay attention to the patterns in what you tell me—including things you may not have realized were connected.
Your hypnosis is then built around you, using what we discover together rather than trying to fit you into a standard program.
My work may include:
- Identifying patterns and triggers
- Changing automatic responses
- Reframing expectations and associations
- Building confidence in your ability to respond differently
Sessions are private, respectful, and individualized. You remain aware and in control throughout the process.
