Finding Relief and Regaining Control

Panic attacks are surprisingly common and can occur on their own or as part of a larger condition, like panic disorder. They can strike without warning, seemingly out of nowhere.

Here’s an overview of how ‘Sophia’, a client, used to experience her panic attacks.

But fear not!

Research shows that panic attacks are actually triggered by our own “fight, flight or freeze” response, which releases hormones, including adrenaline, into our bodies to prepare for a perceived threat.

At Mynd.works, I understand that panic attacks can have lasting effects, causing persistent worry and intense anxiety between episodes. They can significantly impact your quality of life, leading you to limit your activities and avoid certain situations that may trigger an attack. I want to help you break free from these constraints and live life to the fullest.

It’s important to know that you’re not alone. Studies suggest that at least 1 in 10 people experience occasional panic attacks, often triggered by stressful events or situations. However, for those with panic disorder, attacks can occur regularly and repeatedly.

Recognizing the Symptoms:

The symptoms of a panic attack can be so intense that they can mimic a heart attack or other life-threatening condition. It’s no wonder that they can be terrifying, distressing, and uncomfortable. Common symptoms include:

  • Chest pains
  • Nausea
  • Shortness of breath
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Fear of dying
  • Excessive sweating
  • Dizziness
  • Trembling or shaking
  • Sensation of choking
  • Numbness
  • Headaches
  • Extreme exhaustion
  • Overwhelming terror

Understanding the Causes:

Panic attacks arise when anxiety reaches high levels, triggering the release of adrenaline and causing severe symptoms. There are several factors that may contribute to experiencing a panic attack, such as:

  • Traumatic or stressful experiences, like bereavement, which can lead to immediate or delayed panic and anxiety.
  • Family history: Research suggests that having a close family member with panic attacks increases the likelihood of experiencing them.
  • Chemical imbalances in the brain may also raise the risk of panic attacks.
