“How do you stop panic attacks without medication?”

Hello! You are in luck! Hyponisis training stops panic attacks in their tracks. Harmless. No drugs.

Look up the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis and choose a professional who specializes in anxiety and/or panic disorders. A few sessions will do it. You might want to work on the causes of panic afterwards as well.

Good luck!!



Peace,
Marian

Cognitive behavioral therapy can help. It will teach techniques to reduce your anxiety.

Breath work, the breath has the capacity to shift from the "fight, flight, freeze, fawn" response and into the "rest and digest made". In other words, the breath can ground the brain from a "bottom up" approach to engage the parasympathetic nervous system and be more relaxed and alert.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness based approaches are likely the best option. Like all conditions, it would be prudent to have the panic attacks properly evaluated, medically and psychiatrically, to be sure some other underlying problem is not being missed. Alcohol and substance use could also trigger panic and other symptoms, so a full diagnostic workup would be the first step.

Psychologists specialize in treating panic attacks without medication. Seek a therapist with cognitive behavioral therapy training to learn the skills you need to overcome panic attacks. This can usually be accomplished in a brief course of therapy (6-12 sessions).

Mindfulness training such as meditation and yoga can help you cope and reduce these feelings or at least control your response to feelings of anxiety. Other stress-relieving techniques such as breathing and counting may also help. As part of a comprehensive change in lifestyle, learn to reduce and avoid common stressors and incorporate exercise as well as dietary changes. A growing realization in the mental health community places emphasis on a "psychiatric diet". This nutritional approach hilights anti-inflammatory foods, balancing gut flora known as your 'biota' with pre and pro-biotics, and ensuring adequate intake of omega-3 fatty acids ("fishoil"). Oral supplement or nutraceuticals have shown promise. Examples include NAC at 1800mg/day, curcumin+black pepper formulations; Ashwagandha, Bacopa and Rhodiola are examples of 'adaptogens' that seem to keep the brain--and the mind--on a more even keel.
