With having cerebral palsy loud noises and bangs or someone yelling makes me feel so scared and anxious and sometimes it’s feels paralysing for me I would appreciate if anyone on the scope online could share any tips on how I break out because really taken over my life it just feels like that to me  :'(

    Hi @Globster - so sorry you're suffering from problems with loud noises. I don't have CP, but do suffer from hyperacusis; great difficulty with noise, as I seem very sensitive to it, which I'd put down to having another neurological disorder (Chiari 1 Malformation). 
    My children still tease & call me 'radar,' as even when they're whispering, I hear clearly, & they get away with nothing! 
    I've had to learn to live with it, being sensitive to bright lights, or anyone coming up behind me, which makes me feel the ground/floor is moving up & down.
    How to cope....the first thing I do in my head is to tell myself, 'I'm OK,' then next I concentrate on my breathing, which helps calm me down. Try this exercise: https://www.cheshire-epaige.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Diaphragmatic-breathing-techniques.pdf   you can do this in any position you feel comfortable in, & it's been found to reduce both stress & pain, & aid relaxation, so worth a try. This is my mainstay; an exercise I used to teach (as a physio), & use daily.
    Hope Biblioklept's link about the 'Moro reflex' has helped, & perhaps this too.
