Panic Attacks Treatment Perth
Energetics Institute offers an effective therapy process for clients in Perth who suffer from Panic Attacks.
A panic attack is a process where your body and mind go into a fear-based state as you detect any imminent threat. If you suffer from panic attacks you may exhibit visible signs, which create shame if you experience an attack in public. You withdrawn socially or you avoid environments and objects, including people, who trigger your panic attacks.
What Is A Panic Attack
The threat is normally experienced through your senses and causes a series of chain reactions. The perceived or anticipated threat triggers a fight-or-flight response in which you go into freeze or flight mode. You exhibit a sudden onset of fear based symptoms in your body and mind.
The trigger is irrational as the fear is not objectively real and the felt effect is amplified and debilitating. You typically feel immobilised or go hysterical.
What Are The Symptoms of Panic Attacks
The symptoms of a panic attack are numerous and show up in your body and mind. Here are some of the most common symptoms produced in your body:
- Racing heart beat
- Hyper-tension in your muscles or extreme flaccidity or weakness
- Hyper-vigilance of your senses
- Elevated blood pressure and shallower breathing
- Trembling or twitching or shaking
- Headache
- Sweating
- Dry throat
- Loss of voice
- Nausea
- Loss of motor function control in your body
Your mind will race, become disorganised, fear annihilation, injury or death, or some catastrophic outcome. Your thinking will focus on safety making and the impending doom, rationality and logic do not function in this mindset.

Here are some background factors that may influence or create the basis for you to experience panic attacks:
