   Heather has experience in treating many different problems, habits, disorders, many are listed to your right under broad headings, for more detail just click on the links for more in depth information on how hypnotherapy and Healing can help with your problem or somebody you know.

Panic Attacks  (episodic paroxymal anxiety )
Commonly known as the Panic Attack. These are usually recurrent attacks not restricted to any particular situation or set of circumstances which obviously makes the attacks unpredictable and unavoidable , unlike many phobias.
Best described as beginning with palpitations, chest pains, choking sensations , dizziness a " nailed to the spot " feeling of total loss of control. There may also follow a secondary fear of dying or going mad.
 

Sleep Problems

Sleeping disorders are often considered as merely part of other nervous disorders, the chicken and the egg question arises with sleeping disorders, so it is safe to assume that if the predominant symptom is one of broken sleep patterns etc. the client is suffering from a sleeping disorder and is treated as such.

 Insomnia
This usually includes poor quality sleep over a length of time .
A difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep or indeed awakening early.

  Hypersomnia
This disorder produces over sleepiness and or sleep attacks. There is often an inability to be able to rouse oneself from the sleepy feelings. Obviously the conditions of this disorder take into account the amount of sleep and physical activity which a person has been or is being subjected to and are considered to be within acceptable normal limits.

  Sleep walking-(Somnambulism )                     
Well known and relatively common sleeping disorder , often children sleep walk during the first third of a nights sleep cycle.
The sleep walking often goes on into adult life during times of extra stress.
There is rarely any danger involved in the act of sleep walking except the obvious physical dangers of falling over or other such accidents. Occasionally the sleep walking can produce some concern as sleep walkers are sometimes known to wander outside and their are often the added dangers which are self explanatory.


  Sleep terrors
A very different form of disorder is the sleep or night terrors . These typically wake the individuals from the first third of their nights sleep with high pitched screams, rapid breathing excessive sweating and heart pounding similar to panic attacks. However these attacks are of limited duration and are less frightening to the sufferer, manly due to the lack of recall the sufferer has of the incident, than to the people around at the time the attacks occur.

  Nightmares
Most people have suffered a nightmare at some time in their lives and there is little need to explain the symptoms . However if the bad dreams become repetitive and the subject matter constantly very disturbing they can become a very real problem.
 

Physical Problems

Persistent somatoform pain disorders
This disorder commonly shows itself as backache, headache, (particularly Migraine) but can attack any part of the body. It must be stressed that the treatment of all physical "illnesses" such as pain must first have been diagnosed as being of no physiological or physical disorder.
The onset of a psychogenic pain disorder is usually associated with a emotional conflict or psychological problems. The pain in these cases is usually severe persistent and quite obviously very distressing.

Anatomic dysfunction
This is an area where anxiety produces physical symptoms within the body.
These symptoms having been proved to be of psychogenic nature, that is to say they are not caused by disease or physical disorder .
                                                                              
  Peptic ulcers                                             
Acid indigestion is a frequent complaint in many adults. The over production of acids in the stomach which in time erodes the stomach lining or duodenum (first part of the small intestine) this causes open and painful sores.

  Essential hypertension
High blood pressure which in 90% of cases is due to psychological causes.

  Asthma
Asthma attacks occur when a narrowing of the bodily passages that allow oxygen to enter the lungs and carbon dioxide to be exhaled. This disorder of the respiratory process causes coughing , wheezing, and often a degree of breathlessness that leads to gasping for air and excessive apprehension.
Asthma is often linked with allergies which are also classic symptoms of anxiety .
