What We Can Do:
* Cognitive-Behavior Therapy
involves examining “cognitions” or thoughts and
modifying them and our behaviors to help change those thoughts and relieve the
fear.
* Desensitization is the gradual,
gentle exposure of a fear-producing stimulus (such as
a
snake) to a person so that it can be seen in the healing light of day.
* Breath work helps when the panic
attacks are related to low blood oxygen levels,
such as in
cases of acute and chronic respiratory illness.
*
Medication,
both homeopathic and allopathic, can be helpful in the
treatment of
acute and chronic states of fear.
* Hypnotherapy utilizes imagery and
suggestion to help us change the way we see
things as well
as to modulate our own physiological responses. It can be enormously
effective
in a relatively short time.
*
EMDR is a specific technique that works with rapid eye
movement to release us from
old patterns and traumas. This is very helpful when the fears are due to specific event.
