YNWA THERAPY - Brainfood - HOW TO STOP A PANIC ATTACK !!

STEP 1 — Do a Physiological Sigh (10–20 seconds)
This is the fastest-known breathing technique to stop panic.

How to do it:
Inhale through the nose
Take a second, smaller inhale on top of it
Long, slow exhale through the mouth (twice as long)

Repeat 2–3 times.
This instantly begins lowering heart rate and shuts down hyperventilation.

STEP 2 — Ground Your Senses (30–45 seconds)
Panic lives in future danger. Grounding pulls you into the present.

Use the 5-4-3-2-1 method:
5 things you can see
4 you can touch
3 you can hear
2 you can smell
1 you can taste
This interrupts racing thoughts and untangles the fear loop.

STEP 3 — Cold Stimulus on Face or Hands (30 seconds)
Cold triggers the dive reflex, which slows heart rate.

Options:
Splash cold water on your face
Hold an ice pack or cold drink to cheeks + nose bridge

Rinse hands under cold water
Within seconds, your body shifts out of panic mode.

STEP 4 — Name What’s Happening (10–20 seconds)
Labeling the sensation reduces amygdala activity.
Say (out loud if possible):
“This is a panic attack. It will pass. I’m safe.”
This turns off the brain’s fear amplifier.

STEP 5 — Relax Your Body (20–30 seconds)
Fight-or-flight causes muscle tension.
Try Dropping your shoulders
Unclench your jaw
Loosen your hands
Exhale long and slow
Your body can’t stay in panic while muscles are relaxing.

STEP 6 — Re-Anchor Your Breath (1–2 mins)
Once the peak passes, settle into:
Inhale 4 seconds → Exhale 6 seconds
The longer exhale activates the vagus nerve and prevents the panic from rebuilding.

What a Panic Attack Actually Is
A panic attack is a feedback loop:
Body gets a surge of adrenaline
Heart races, breathing speeds up
Brain misinterprets signals as danger
More adrenaline releases
Symptoms intensify
Breaking any one of these steps stops the loop.

What You Can Expect
Most panic attacks:
Peak around 5–10 minutes
Can be shortened dramatically with the steps above

Are uncomfortable but not dangerous
Your body will calm itself once the cycle is interrupted.

YNWA Therapy Brainfood - What is Vagal Shock vs. Adrenaline Shock?

1. Vagal Shock (Vasovagal Reaction)
Driven by the parasympathetic nervous system, especially the vagus nerve.

What triggers it?
Fear, pain, emotional shock
Seeing blood or injury
Sudden stress
Standing too long, heat, dehydration
What happens in the body
Heart rate drops
Blood pressure drops
Blood vessels dilate
Brain gets less blood flow
Hormone + nerve involved
Vagus nerve (parasympathetic “rest-and-digest”)
Little to no adrenaline released

Symptoms
Lightheadedness or dizziness
Pale skin
Cold sweat
Nausea
Tunnel vision
Fainting (short)
Purpose (evolution)

It causes you to collapse so blood returns to the brain
Lowers heart rate to reduce blood loss if injured

2. Adrenaline Shock (Adrenaline Surge / Stress Shock)
Driven by the sympathetic nervous system (“fight or flight”).

What triggers it?
Frightening or traumatic event
Sudden danger
Severe stress
Near-accidents or intense emotional shock
What happens in the body
Heart rate spikes
Blood pressure rises
Blood vessels to muscles constrict / redirect
Breathing becomes fast and shallow
Blood sugar increases
Hormone involved
Adrenaline (epinephrine)
Often also cortisol
Symptoms
Pounding heartbeat
Shaking
Rapid breathing
Chest tightness
Feeling “wired,” “frozen,” or panicked
Sweaty palms
Hyperalert or dissociated feeling

Purpose (evolution)
To help you fight, flee, or survive
Sharpens focus and boosts strength

Key Difference in One Line
Vagal shock = body shuts down (slow heart, low blood pressure).

Adrenaline shock = body amps up (fast heart, high blood pressure).

How They Feel Different?
Feature Vagal Shock vs Adrenaline Shock
Heart rate Low or High
Blood pressure Drops or Rises
Breathing Slows or Speeds up
Skin color Pale, Cold, Flushed or cold-sweaty
Consciousness May faint or Very alert, rarely faint
Emotion Woozy, nauseated Panicked, energised

Can they happen together?
Yes, this confuses many people.
You might feel an initial adrenaline surge, then your vagus nerve may overcorrect and cause a vasovagal crash. This is common after seeing blood, receiving bad news, or experiencing intense fear.

Sharing is Caring!! ❤️

YNWA THERAPY Brainfood - Breaking News - What occurs in the vagus nervous system in response to shock?

1. A strong stimulus activates the vagus nerve.
Common triggers include:
Sudden emotional shock (unwelcome news, fear, trauma, witnessing blood)
Physical shock (pain, injury)
Stress, heat, prolonged standing
These signals are transmitted via the vagus nerve, regulating various automatic bodily functions.

2. The vagus nerve slows the heart rate.
The vagus nerve instructs the heart to:
Beat at a slower rate (bradycardia)
Contract with reduced force
This is part of a 'calm down' reflex; however, in shock, it may become excessively pronounced.

3. Blood vessels suddenly dilate.
The vagus nerve causes blood vessels—particularly in the legs—to:
Dilate (expand)
Hold more blood away from the brain
This results in a rapid decrease in blood pressure.

4. Blood pressure and brain blood flow decrease.
Concurrently, the heart slows and the vessels dilate, leading to:
A sharp decline in blood pressure
Insufficient blood flow to the brain
Symptoms may include:
Dizziness
Tunnel vision
Cold sweats
Nausea
Tinnitus

5. Fainting may occur (temporary 'reset').
If brain blood flow drops too low, the body forces a horizontal position through fainting.
This facilitates blood return to the brain and typically resolves within seconds to minutes.

6. The physiological rationale behind this response.
This is a primitive protective reflex. In ancient survival contexts:
Reduced heart rate minimizes bleeding from injuries.
Fainting forces a horizontal position, enhancing brain blood flow.
The response may also mitigate emotional overwhelm.
In modern life, it often manifests in situations where it is more dramatic than beneficial.

When medical attention is warranted.
A vagal shock reaction is typically harmless; however, medical attention is necessary if:
Fainting occurs frequently
Injury results from fainting
Symptoms persist for more than a few minutes
Chest pain or difficulty breathing is experienced.

YNWA THERAPY Brainfood -News update - Are you Looking for something different? Why not open the doors to genuine self-discovery through hypnosis, a mindful and evidence-informed approach that draws from cognitive and behavioural principles.
If you’re ready to learn in a more nuanced and compassionate way, hypnosis can help you engage the deeper parts of your mind—bypassing the noisy inner critic and strengthening your ability to guide your own thoughts and emotions.

Many people live with an internal voice that questions their worth or undermines their happiness. But you deserve contentment. You deserve clarity. You deserve a life that feels like your own.

Hypnosis supports you in exploring the subconscious patterns and core beliefs that shape your reactions, emotions, and behaviours. While this approach isn’t suited for everyone, those who are a good fit often discover profound insights about themselves. You may reconnect with your inner child, understand long-held emotional habits, and begin reshaping the pathways that influence how you think and feel.

With the support of an experienced practitioner, you’ll learn how your environment has influenced your mental and emotional wellbeing—and how your brain, body, and nervous system interact. Through guided self-discovery, you can observe how your mirror neurons respond, how your beliefs were formed, and how they can be transformed. Change is inevitable, and you have the power to direct it. Let the paradigm shift begin.

By exploring your subconscious, you can uncover why you respond the way you do and begin moving toward solutions that are both goal-oriented and deeply personal.

You’ll also learn foundational skills such as coherent breathing (for example, inhaling for 4 seconds and exhaling for 6), a practice known to support calmness and emotional balance.
Humans are unique in our ability to consciously reflect, harmonise mind and body, and intentionally shape the best version of ourselves.

When you learn to access your inner resources, you may notice greater resilience, clearer thinking, renewed confidence, and a deeper sense of connection within yourself.

You are equipped with extraordinary internal technology, your mind, your emotions, your biology, and your awareness.

The key is learning to access it.
Everything you need is already within you; hypnosis simply helps you tap into that power.

The DECIDE Framework is a structured decision-making model that can help you break down complex problems and find effective solutions. It’s particularly useful in mental health, business, and everyday challenges. Here’s how it works:

1. Define the problem
- Clearly identify what the issue is and why it needs to be solved.
- Example: A client is struggling with social anxiety and avoids public places.

2. Establish the criteria
- Determine what an ideal solution should achieve.
- Example: The solution should help the client manage anxiety and improve social interactions.

3. Consider the alternatives
- Brainstorm possible ways to address the problem.
- Example: Options could include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy, or social skills training.

4. Identify the best alternative
- Weigh the pros and cons of each option based on the criteria.
- Example: CBT is effective, evidence-based, and can be tailored to the client’s needs.

5. Develop and implement a plan
- Take action based on the best solution.
- Example: Create a therapy plan that includes gradual exposure to social situations.

6. Evaluate the outcome
- Assess whether the solution worked and make adjustments if needed.
- Example: After a few sessions, review progress and modify the approach if necessary.

This framework helps break down overwhelming decisions into manageable steps, leading to better outcomes. Try it you might like it!!
