Sports psychologist on van den Berg’s panic attacks: “Not a case of competition stress, but psychological stress”

Dimitri van den Berg recently had to face medical issues at the German Darts Open. Then the 28-year-old Belgian went to the hospital for a medical examination, but nothing was discovered there.

belgian newspaper latest news Sports psychologist Jeff Brewers consulted. “This is not a case of competition stress, but psychological stress. Something is causing him to regularly have panic attacks. What exactly does that mean? He somehow got out of his comfort zone and probably put a lot of pressure on himself. That way. You lose control, and then you show symptoms of stress.”

Effects

“You can compare it a little bit to how you feel in your pocket, but suddenly you don’t feel on your mobile,” Brewers continues. Then there is a brief moment of panic. But it’s worse with Dimitri. Also because he doesn’t know why. If you find your mobile phone in the above example, that stress is over. Dimitri doesn’t know why, so he has to look for that trigger. How did you grow up. It’s just that it’s hard to find, so it might benefit from talking with an expert. Once he gets rid of those panic attacks, and that’s likely to work, that’s over, too. It’s not as if this is a recurring phenomenon.”
