Very often you hear from people who suffer from anxiety, panic attacks or terror related to specific activities or moments of daily life. A frequent question is whether one can ever overcome an anxiety-provoking situation or live without this annoying and limiting feeling.
The answer is quick and positive: yes, it is possible to live without anxiety and there are strategies to decrease its strength or to reduce it altogether.
It is also good to reflect on the fact that a slight form of anxiety, which can arise when we experience a new situation, or a kind of challenge with ourselves and others, is in itself positive because it brings a greater drive to the individual and makes for better performance.
The problem arises when the anxiety itself is no longer mild or positive, but becomes something disabling and limiting for the person who becomes a prisoner of it.
Some people experience significant panic attacks that occur in a specific situation such as driving, taking a plane, being in crowded places etc.
The panic attack is the highest level of anxiety, which unconsciously acts on the individual by blocking their breath and causing the unconscious situation they do not want to relive to freeze.
There are various techniques at the psychotherapeutic level that produce clear and studied results. In the course of the sessions, depending on the orientation of the therapist's studies, tools are given to help reduce anxiety and panic.
In this way, the person will feel more in control of him/herself and slowly, over a period of time that varies from person to person, will overcome these problems.
