Hi,
I'm really sorry your friend is suffering from these panic attacks and anxiety. I'm a specialist in stress management and used to have problems with these conditions myself. My subsequent training in stress management, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and Reiki have given me tools to work with for myself and my clients. Usually this kind of anxiety is the result of long-term undue stress, where the body is caught in a perpetual state of 'fight or flight'.
As a result of my own experience and training I have developed a deep relaxation/hypnotherapy CD/download, "Calm in a Box" which you can see try a 1 minute sample of on www.breathingspacetherapies.com and you can buy it online if your friend likes it. I'd also be happy to send supporting ideas on affirmations etc free of charge to you or your friend if you would like those as a bonus. As a kick start, ask your friend to use deep breathing & relaxation techniques every day and say to him/herself as many times during the day as possible, "I am completely safe and completely relaxed in all situations."
I do hope this helps and please contact me if you have any further queries.
With love and light
Annie
