Dear readers, while we are going through difficult times around the world and normal health services are restricted, I would like to tell you about online support, which can be a comforting option. Online support can be defined as psychotherapy with or without video, using WhatsApp or Skype. Although it has certain limitations, it is a preferable option in difficult times or when it is difficult to reach a therapist.
In all my other articles, I have mentioned that panic attacks are not actually a disease, but a result or defense. That's why panic attacks respond very well to psychotherapy. As a result of the online psychotherapy experiences we have had in recent years and the feedback we have received from our clients or patients, I have come to the conclusion that online therapies can be effective in the treatment of panic attacks.
Let me briefly talk about what we do in online psychotherapy. We identify and quickly change negative beliefs and thoughts that drive the person into panic, of which he or she is often unaware. For example, thoughts such as “I must be strong under all circumstances”, “If I am not, my family will end”, “Every problem is my fault” and similar thoughts unknowingly tense the body and the body begins to react with the negative impact of these thoughts. For example, if your heart beats and you feel dizzy, you can sit down and focus only on your own needs.
When thoughts and beliefs change, personality changes and the balance between the person and his immediate environment may be disrupted. Your therapist will give you appropriate suggestions on this issue.
Another important subject we teach in online psychotherapy is the ability to stop situations triggered by holding the breath and contracting the muscles, which are responsible for almost all physical symptoms. As long as the person breathes correctly and fluidly and constantly focuses on the 5 senses (mindfulness), panic attacks will stop and emergencies and fears will disappear in a very short time.
