How, Why And When Does Root-cause Hypnotherapy Work For Panic Attacks?

By:


In order for Root Cause Hypnosis - or, for that matter, hypnotherapy or therapeutic self-hypnosis - to work, the subject must be a willing participant and, needless to say, the therapist must know what he/she is doing. Both must understand the role of the brain in dealing with panic attacks. Therapeutic hypnosis for conditions such as panic attacks can be applied by a trained therapist personally or even by means of an audio recording. Some people even prefer the less-formal setting that an audio therapy guarantees in the comfort of the persons home. I see a good audio-hypnotherapy as the next best thing to personally visiting an experienced hypnotherapist. In my experience, both have shown exceptionally good results, though personal one-on-one sessions where the patient has confidence in the therapist do have a higher probability of positive outcome.

The effectiveness of psychotherapy in general and hypnotherapy in particular is to a large extent conditioned on the willing participation of the subject. Unlike the much more dangerous pharmacological approach, the patient really does have a say in his or her healing process. But this can cut both ways. A skeptical, distracted or a downright negative person may not be helped by this approach simply because they reject it out of hand or deliberately (and self-destructively you might say) resist it. Even when they do force themselves to listen to the therapist - or a therapeutic recording - they never allow themselves to relax completely and "give in" to the therapist's suggestions.

In those cases a mere audio recording will often prove insufficient. Indeed, even the physical presence of a therapist may not be much help either if the patient insists on disagreeing with the basic premise of why this therapy can work.

Note that this is - emphatically - not a case of a "belief-based" treatment. You don't have to "believe in hypnotherapy" or RCH for it to help you. You only need to agree to allow yourself to relax and let the therapist's voice help you get there. Once you get sufficiently relaxed, both your conscious and subconscious mind will process the therapist's instructions and act accordingly.

The process of remembering and recognizing the original trigger is completely natural and once the patient reaches that point, the therapy will have worked its "magic" - whether he or she "believes" or not.

So, to answer the questions posed in the title of this article:

How it works - by relaxing the patient enough to help him/her remember the original trigger for the panic attack.

Why it works - because it appeals to the logical as well as the subconscious mind.

When it works - it works when the patient agrees to take part and is able to, with the help of the therapist or a well-constructed audio tape, to relax and enter hypnotic sleep.
