Are Panic Attacks Keeping You From Living Your Best Life?

• Do you have panic attacks?

• Are you afraid to do, to travel or go on outings and have fun?

• Do you have a ritual to reduce a fear?

• Do you blame yourself for not trying hard enough to beat your fears?

If you have experienced a panic attack you know it is a stressful event for your mind and body. A 10 minute panic attack can feel like forever or like you are dying. It may have come out of nowhere without a trigger; it is overwhelming. Do you wonder if it is a physical dysfunction in your heart or some unexplained fear? If you find that fear is ruling your life, your choices, your social situations; you are not alone.

If you find yourself alone and isolated, you need to ask yourself what is the root? What are the physical, body responses to your anxiety? Do others know why you are alone more and more? Do they accept your excuses for the anxiety triggers at face value? More importantly, do you? These are the questions that all anxiety patients wonder about. The answers will equip you to resolve rather than avoid your fears. If you find that you are spending more time on the planning of a common errand than the actual errand, you may have an anxiety problem. Is your sleep disrupted daily for fear of what might occur? It is normal to desire to be safe.

You can establish how to be safe for you and your family without a panic attack. You can problem solve with those whom you love, care, and affirm. Your plans in times of confusion can change and you can learn to not become overwhelmed or frozen. Together we will seek reasonable goals for your customized anxiety treatment plan. I want you to find success. I can teach you to break down and disrupt confusion.

Anxiety can create a wall of indecision that prevents you from speaking in public? Maybe you have a social phobia. If you have a ritual that takes up more than an hour a day and you do it for the purpose of coping with a fear: that is called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Do you find that you seek to reduce your irrational thoughts by performing a behavior? Do you find rituals that get out of hand and take up an inordinate amount of your day? This can be problematic. This type of anxiety disorder is a time robber and I want to help you get your life back.

What are the most common obstacles preventing you from receiving anxiety treatment? Do you rationalize that it is not bad enough? Do you tell yourself that if you were working harder on it with a self-help book you would be better? Do not buy the lies, find the facts.

Panic Free Normal Is A Good Thing to Find.

Normal anxiety does not interfere with daily patterns of life. A little fear helps us be productive and respond in crisis situations. When we ignore signs that our body is overwhelmed and that anxiety becomes a negative symptoms like a panic attack. If you do not learn how to self-sooth, or to relax in those seasons of significant distress you may find yourself treating your anxiety symptoms rather than the cause, the root. What are the steps in your fear process? Do you feel the incremental growth of your isolation? If you are having a hard time just doing one day at a time ...exhaustion your suffering may be a budding anxiety disorder. If your symptoms are becoming stronger over time or more frequent seek support. There are no bad questions just lost time and opportunities. All of these questions are normal and necessary and can be addressed in anxiety therapy.

As a clinician I continue to seek the research for what works at each age. My 15 years of work prove when you come weekly to your therapy and you learn to honor both sides of your brain you heal. We have a logical left brain and a creative right brain and often one side tries to hold the other back in all play or all work. The trauma brain gets frozen or seeks to be constantly busy so it does not feel emotions even the positive can be walled off. When we do this we do not feel happy nor healthy. I will teach you to embrace both sides and be who you are. This may be different from those you spend your time. My goal is to engage you to learn to feel joy, hope, and experience life more fully. You do not have to be defined or limited by your fears.
