Maybe you, or someone close to you, are one of the more than 3 million people who experience panic attacks at some point in their lives. These are more common today than ten years ago and happen to people at all ages, even children in primary school.
A panic attack is an event of paralyzing fear and anxiety that seemingly comes out of nowhere, for no apparent reason. Experiencing a panic attack is like being hit by a tidal wave. It leaves you with immense fear that it could happen again, especially if you are in a public place or there is no one to help you.
You can recognize a panic attack based on these most common symptoms:
-Pounding or pounding heart
-Difficulty breathing
-Feeling dizzy and light-headed
-Nausea
- Chills and cold sweat - Pain in the chest
-Tingling or numbness of hands and/or legs
-Terror, a feeling that something terrible is about to happen and that you are powerless to prevent it
-Fear of losing control over your body and your reactions
Panic attacks often come at unexpected times, which makes them even more frightening. In reality, they are caused by major stressors, traumatic life events, or a physical illness that has occurred in your life. They are activated by a certain trigger without you being aware of it.
Holistic Energetic Therapy can help you understand what is causing the panic attacks and help your body release those triggers. What can be supportive is learning a simple breathing technique to calm down when anxiety starts to build up.
Just in case you're having a panic attack, there's an amazing, quick and... very effective acupressure technique called Tapping of Emotional Freedom Technique is called. It stops the panic attack within a few minutes, and if you use it regularly, it helps to eliminate the attacks altogether.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or Tapping for short originated 50 years ago when a group of doctors used acupressure points to help their patients deal with stress, anxiety, pain and phobias.
The technique as we know it today was put together by Doctor Gary Craig, who began teaching it to the public.
Tapping is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine, which described thousands of years ago how energy in the body spreads along specific pathways called meridians. By tapping specific energy meridians on your hand, face, head, arm and chest, you can release fears, limiting beliefs, negative patterns and even physical pain and deep-seated trauma.
While you tap according to a specific order, you talk out loud about the problem, also according to the EFT guideline. This sends a calming message to the amygdala (the “fight or flight” part of the brain) allowing the release of difficult emotions and pain.
I can teach you how to apply EFT Tapping during a holistic energetic treatment in my practice, so that you are equipped with a practical and proven tool for self-support.
I send you a lot ❤️!
