Help with Anxiety
Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy for Anxiety (general anxiety) and panic attacks. Everybody gets anxious from time to time and this is perfectly normal. But, when the anxiety, or panic attacks start to strike frequently, or intensely, and often completely out of the blue, then this is the time to start thinking about seeking help, treatment or therapy for that anxiety. One of the most common forms of anxiety is social anxiety (also known as social phobia). Hypnosis and hypnotherapy for anxiety and panic attacks is beneficial, and gives you very satisfying results. How Anxiety Feels. Excessive anxiety is one of the most common symptoms my clients consult me for. Generally when people say they are feeling anxious they would be referring to a very specific feeling in their body; adrenaline is causing their heart to race, their mouth to go dry, thinking to be impaired, muscles tighten. Often a person’s stomach is churning or they have very uncomfortable ‘butterflies’, often this is accompanied with a fear of speaking, forgetting words or not feeling confident to speak. Those who experience high levels of anxiety often describe their lives as being in a state of ‘hyper-vigilance’. A person may always be on the lookout for impending dangers – this could be something as common as feeling anxious when the boss is in the office, anxious to see what mood your partner is in or if you are being approved by others before you relax in company. Some feel very anxious if they unexpectedly bump into neighbors’ or old friends, and do everything possible to prevent the unexpected from happening. The anxiety might be triggered by very specific things like interviews, speeches, having to complain about bad service, flying, the mother in law! And sometimes a person feels anxious for ‘no apparent reason’. What is happening is that there is something in your environment or your belief system /self talk that is triggering a ‘fight or flight’ response in your subconscious mind; something is telling you are in danger so your body is preparing you for it. You probably realise rationally that there is little reason to be anxious but that does not stop the automatic anxious response from happening……and that’s frustrating and for those that experience anxiety regularly it’s potentially harmful to their health (being constantly stressed), and holds them back from achieving their goals in life. It is common that those who experience high or frequent levels of anxiety have been coping and managing that feeling for years. People will use avoidance to make sure that they don’t get that anxious feeling; for example a person won’t go out, ask someone out on a date or put themselves forward in work. Sometimes the anxiety might lead to acting out in anger outbursts, a person will learn to be aggressive so that others don’t realize that they feel weak or anxious. Others might manage anxiety with over eating, excessive alcohol, drugs or sex. Or they might start counting things or repeating words over and over in their minds (OCD). However, these management techniques never really work in the long run and it is far healthier to resolve the cause of the anxiety. Anxiety Disorders. Anxiety disorders are very common, affecting as many as 13% of the adult population. They can start at any time, either in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood and fall into five main types:
Anxiety CAN Be Helped! Why Hypnoanalysis is so successful at treating Anxiety Having high levels of Anxiety and feeling under threat is generally a pattern that is created in a person’s mind in childhood (though the symptoms may not appear for many years). The anxious response is caused by the sufferer bottling up some strong emotions. The only way to resolve the anxiety - is to release the bottled up emotions that are causing it. To reset the anxiety dial, so to speak, to normal levels. These bottled up emotions are stored in the persons subconscious mind so the sufferer has no conscious awareness of them. In our formative years (with only a childs resourcefulness) botteling the emotions up was the best plan of action for dealing with difficult strong emotion. It was done by our subconscious mind so we weren't overwhelmed by the emotions, and could get on with growing up. However, now that you are grown up you do have the resourcefulness of an adult and can easily face and resolve those emotions that were too much for the child. Your subconscious mind wants you to do this and will do everything in its power to encourage you to resolve the internal conflict (emotion) - including giving you the symptom of anxiety! It's as if that symptom is a signal telling you that there's something inside you ready to be resolved. Most other types of therapy cannot gain access to these 'locked away' emotions and experiences, whereas Pure Hypno-Analysis can. The process of Hypnoanalysis requires a strong bond of trust and rapport being created between the therapist, and the client. Over a period of about eight sessions, we slowly and effortlessly link thoughts and memories back through time (using a process of 'free association') until we come to the bottled up emotions. When we release these emotions, the excessive anxiety is resolved forever.
