The implication here is that we have become a pill popping population.  If we have a headache, we take aspirin.  If we have allergies, we take antihistamine.  We do not even consider the many side effects that medicine has.  For instance, aspirin has side effects of heartburn, nausea and upset stomach.  Another example is that pain relievers have side effects of constipation, dry mouth and slow breathing.

And the problem with taking traditional medicine that help alleviate and control anxiety disorder and other psychological illnesses is that these medication are really expensive.  The prices of anti-depressants, sleeping pills, anti-psychotic drugs and other medicine have skyrocketed at present and these are generally sold in major drugstores.  In addition, these drugs can only be bought with a doctor’s prescription as these are not over the counter type of medicine.

So, one of the implications of this is that you have to go to a specialist in order to get a prescription and it is known that psychiatrists charge a lot.  Another implication is that not many people can afford to buy these types of medicine.

And so, more and more people seek alternative medicine as a way to not just to save money from expensive psychiatric treatments but they also expect natural anxiety nutritional supplements, for example, to have the same effects as those of traditional medicine.

Anti-anxiety nutritional supplements have been introduced in order to reduce symptoms of anxiety attacks while lessening the risk of side effects.  At the same time, these supplements are believed not to be habit-forming.

Usually, anti-anxiety nutritional supplements contain essential fatty acids such as Omega-3, magnesium, calcium and vitamin B that are believed to help balance brain chemicals as the imbalance of brain chemicals cause not only anxiety but also depression and other psychological illnesses.

At present, there are a lot of anxiety nutritional supplements that are in the market such as SociaTropin that promise to help you relax and focus and at the same time, allow you to function normally without the use of habit-forming drugs.  In addition, it claims to increase levels of brain chemicals such as dopamine serotonin, Gamma-aminobutryic acid and norepinephrine, which help you become serene, sociable, content and positive.

But when you look carefully on the website of SociaTropin, for example, it says there that the Food and Drug Administration has not verified the statements made in said site.  And most importantly, it says on the site that SociaTropin was not made to detect, alleviate, stop and heal any illnesses.

Besides, even traditional medicine can only help you control your anxiety attacks to a certain extent only.  It can even out your brain chemicals but in the long run, you need to also help yourself to be able to cope with your condition.

And this is where Psycho-Cybernetics comes in.  Psycho-Cybernetics is a proven method that Dr. Maxwell Maltz has introduced in the 1960s.  Since then, over thirty million people have benefited from this as they are able to go about their normal daily lives.

Compared to anxiety nutritional supplements, Psycho-Cybernatics does work because it aims to target one’s self-image.  Its goal is to improve a person’s self-image and condition his mind through creative imagination so, that he would be able to deal with situations that normally cause him to feel anxious about in a normal manner.  This way, he would not feel anxious anymore and, thus, function normally.
Moreover, Psycho-Cybernetics employ techniques such as theater in your mind that allows you to envision how you would want to be and where you want to go with your life while helping you savor your positive past experiences.  Another technique that is used is the mental rehearsal where you can imagine how you would go about a certain situation positively and in detail.

For example, if you are invited to speak in a seminar but you are not comfortable with public speaking, you can envision the many times in the past where you have given speeches and presentations successfully.  At the same time, imagine how you would go about the seminar in detail and how you would be able to deliver it effectively.

And of course, always prepare to further help you gather enough confidence for this activity.  When you have all these, then, it is sure that you would not only be able to cope with anxiety attacks but also achieve whatever you have put your mind into.

Hypnosis is basically a state where the mind has decreased alertness as the patient is now more vulnerable than ever before.  And once you are in this state, you would be more vulnerable to another person’s contro.l So, you would be more open to suggestions.

There are even people who say that if hypnosis is done properly, it can bring you positive results faster compared to undergoing traditional medication and psychotherapy.  Also, there have been stories where hypnosis has been used to help people to learn how to drive safely even if they had a traumatic experience when they were driving.

Although, hypnosis sounds like an impressive method of removing anxiety attacks and allow you to function normally, there are known limitations that hypnosis has and here are some of them.

1. You must ensure that the hypnotherapist has experience and knowledge in curing psychological disorders even without therapy.  If not, he should not perform hypnosis.
2. If hypnosis is not done by a qualified, expert hypnotherapist, chances are you may experience other symptoms.  For example, there was a case study where a man asked to be hypnotized so, he can quit smoking.  After hypnosis was done, he became depressed with having suicidal thoughts.  Another example is of a woman who asked her dentist to hypnotize her so, she could stop smoking.  What happened after the hypnosis was she became anxious, depressive, obsessive and she cannot even go about her normal daily routine.
3. There are not a lot of hypnotherapists worldwide, so it is difficult to find a licensed practician of hypnosis.
4. Hypnotherapy is very expensive as it normally costs hundreds of dollars per session.
5. It takes a long time for a patient to be cured using hypnosis so, it is definitely not an instant cure for panic attacks.
6. There is not a 100% success rate for hypnosis being able to cure panic attacks.
7. If hypnosis is misused, the hypnotherapist can make a suggestion to the patient to do something wrong.  For instance, the hypnotherapist might suggest to the patient that the latter should dance like a chicken.
8. If the hypnotherapist has not evaluated the patient carefully and the former has employed hypnosis to cure the latter, then, the treatment may turn out to be a failure.
9. If the patient is the type of person who loathes vulnerability, he may feel dizzy, disoriented, unfocused and he might not be able to succumb to the effects of hypnosis.  And even if the person knows self-hypnosis, it may prove not to be effective on said person.

As the facts about hypnosis for panic attacks may be debatable up to the this moment, it is still safe to opt for Psycho-Cybernetics, which is a proven method introduced by Dr. Maxwell Maltz in the 1960s that has helped over thirty million people worldwide.

Psycho-Cybernetics, which uses the power of creative imagination, is not like hypnosis where you would put yourself in a trance where there is a risk that you may become altered negatively during and after hypnosis.  Psycho-Cybernetics definitely works.  It does not cost much.  Its effect is long-lasting and it is very safe as you would be tweaking your self-image and conditioning your mind so that you would be happier, more confident, more content and satisfied with your life.

Psycho-Cybernetics employs techniques such as theater in your mind where you envision where you want to get to and how you would be.  Also, it is where you hold onto your positive past experiences and savoring the feelings you felt during those experiences for self-motivation.

In addition to that, mental rehearsal is used to allow you to imagine doing a specific activity in great detail and replaying it in your head over and over again until your mind is conditioned to think that you can indeed perform this activity perfectly.  Of course, you also have to put in some preparation work in order to support what your mind has imagined and doing the activity itself.

Now that you know that hypnosis for panic attacks may not be the right treatment for you, go for Psycho-Cybernetics and it is assured that you would be able to live a better life while coping with panic attacks.

Some examples of anti-anxiety management techniques are as follows:

1.    Avoid drinking caffeine-inducing drinks  like coffee and cola.  As we all know, caffeine is a stimulant and too much of this in our system would cause palpitation and inability to sleep.  And those who are taking sleeping pills are advised not to take caffeine as the latter might conflict with the medication.
2.    Margaret Wehrenberg, a licensed psychologist who also wrote the book, The Ten Best-Ever Anxiety Management Techniques, recommended that if in the event that you have anxious thoughts going through your mind, you can use aromatherapy bath oils when you soak in a tub to help yourself calm down.  You can also make mental lists of things to do so, you would be able to prioritize all of the things you have to do.
3.    Exercise allows you to feel the same heightened emotions that you feel when you are having anxiety attacks such as your heartbeat gets faster.  Once you get used to exercise, you would be able to control the heightened sensations you may feel when you get anxious.  Therefore, you would not mind them so much anymore.  You can do simple exercises such as jogging and brisk walking and as complex as aerobics and boxing.
4.    Do breathing exercises that would help you calm down.  Relax on a chair, close your eyes and count from one to ten.
5.    Apply distraction techniques to help you worry less about your problems.  As they say, Make yourself busy.
6.    Refocus your thoughts to something positive to beat the negative thoughts that are in your mind.

Though the above anxiety management techniques have been successfully used by some people, there are also problems that go with them.  For instance, if you like to drink coffee and cola, chances are you would find it hard to stop drinking these beverages.  You can try to avoid taking these drinks but in the long run, there would be a large chance for you to just revert back to drinking coffee and cola.  You would just say, “I cannot change because this is the way I am”.

At the same time, exercise, making mental lists, breathing exercises, distraction techniques and refocusing your thoughts can only suppress your negative thoughts for so long.  But there would be instances where negative thoughts can pop up in your mind, especially when you are stressed out.  There would come a time when you have spent all your will power and determination and all you want to do is to give up.

And this is what Dr. Maxwell Maltz, a cosmetic re-constructive surgeon by profession, called the snap back effect.  You can only last as long as your willpower can go.  Once you reached the point where you have used your willpower, then, you would surely revert to what you were when you first began.

Dr. Maltz’ work, Psycho-Cybernetics is different because it allows you to change your self-image, a way for you to condition your mind to cope with anxiety attacks.  For example, in Psycho-Cybernetics, we use techniques like theater in your mind where you envision where and how you would be as well as take note of all the positive past experiences you have had. We also use mental rehearsal where we envision ourselves doing what we want to do in detail and in a positive manner.  This way, we can condition our mind to believe that we can do what we would set out to do.

What is good about Psycho-Cybernetics compared to the traditional anxiety management techniques is that it focuses on the self-image, how you see yourself and how you feel about yourself.  The other techniques are just to suppress what you feel.  Their effects are not long-lasting.  But if you are able to tweak your self-image, then, you would be able to believe that you can do anything you want to do and the positive way you see yourself would always be there.

But since your friend is pushing you to get onto the ride, you finally oblige and when you stand in line waiting for your turn to ride the Ferris wheel, you suddenly feel that heart beats faster, your hands become clammy, butterflies in your stomach and your throat tightens.

Although there is no immediate threat in riding a Ferris wheel, this person would not know this because he assumes that something would go wrong once he goes into the Ferris wheel.  This feeling and belief has been brought about by his negative past experience and even if you say that the fear he is feeling is unrealistic, there is no way that he would believe you.

One of the traditional techniques that were introduced to help ease the heightened emotions that anxiety causes is a breathing exercise.  Here, once you feel that you are having an anxiety attack, you go to a place where you can be alone and do focused breathing.  Focus breathing is where you just mind how you breathe for a specific interval like five minutes or so.  Another type of breathing exercise is the one that is taught in Lamaze classes that aim to help people get through the pain of giving birth.  These breathing exercises aim to help you relax and neutralize the effects of an anxiety attack.

Aside from breathing exercises, there is a technique called the One Move Technique that aims to help you face anxiety attacks by commanding the heightened sensations you feel to make themselves more known to you.  This way, you would believe that the anxious feelings that you are having are not real.

Although, these techniques can help you control panic attacks at first , eventually, there may come a time where you would feel fed up with all your efforts in controlling panic attacks and all you want to do is give up.  And once your willpower and determination wanes, there would be a tendency for you to not just slide back to where you started but there is a chance that panic attacks would affect you even on a greater scale.

Unlike panic attack control tactics, Psycho-Cybernetics has a long-lasting effect.  This is because Psycho-Cybernetics to tweak a person’s self-image and condition his mind in such a way that he would feel more confident, happier, more sociable and more satisfied with his life.

Psycho-Cybernetics makes use of methods such as step in, step out technique where you analyze your previous bad experience and compare them with how you are at present. This would make you realize that you were able to change yourself for the better and you can use this to motivate yourself the next time you doubt yourself.

Other than step in, step out technique, Psycho-Cybernetics also makes use of the calm mind, calm body and calm body, calm mind technique that helps you to feel relaxed and displaced on demand.  So, in case you get stressed out due to work, for instance, you just rest comfortably in your chair, close your eyes and use this technique to get yourself relaxed in no time.  It may take some time to get used to this technique but in the long run, you would be able to use this automatically over and over again.
So, if you are using the usual ways to control panic attacks, switch to Psycho-Cybernetics and you are sure to benefit from it for life.
