To put it another way, if you don’t feel secure about yourself and what you can do, then just leading a normal life very frightening, a life where things are bound to go wrong and it feels like you are lacking in some way.
This pattern is often connected with perfectionism; which means having to get things right all of the time, or fear of failure which is the opposite side of the same coin where you don’t take any action in case it doesn’t work out perfectly.
Panic attacks
The unconscious mind often produces the 'fight or flight' response when we’re faced with an irrational fear and this can lead to panic attacks.
This is because the mind is trying to protect us or avoid exposure to the feared event.
Panic attacks are frequently seen by GPs who are only able to prescribe beta blockers and similar drugs – which merely treat the symptoms.
Hypnotherapy can really help to achieve relaxation in any panic situation and addresses the unconscious mind’s response to the panic / anxiety.
EFT is an extremely powerful tool for dealing with panic, as it effectively deals with the root the causes of the issue.

Paula had felt bad about herself for as long as she could remember.
When she was in her late fifties she decided that it was now or never to make a change.
Paula remembered being teased at kindergarten because she was from an Eastern European family and looked and dressed differently from other children in her class.
She desperately wanted to fit in and to be accepted by her classmates and felt she had to say ‘yes’ to everything and everyone – even those things that she didn’t want to do in case she was rejected from the group.
This pattern plagued her throughout her adult life where other people decided where she went and she what she did, her self-esteem was at an all time low and she couldn’t trust herself to do anything.
During the training Paula learnt how to stop putting herself down all the time and how to start making the best choices for her instead of always doing what she thought was expected of her.
Since then she says:
“I feel like I’m getting to know a new me and I really like her! I never thought I could change so much and so quickly, especially at my age!
I feel excited about life when I wake up in the morning…in the last 5 moths I’ve been out a lot, making up for lost time and have met some great new people who don’t remember the ‘old’ me.
I only wish that I’d found you 30 years ago!
Thank you so much for everything.”
