WHY AM I FEELING ANXIOUS?
Most of us are familiar with the fight, flight or freeze response. It’s what happens when we’re in survival mode. And because it’s a response to life-threatening situations it’s most useful when it’s instinctive.
Anxiety is the flight response and when there’s a genuine threat, we’re delighted to have it working for us.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work out that way.
When we’ve been going through a tough time, or when we’ve experienced a trauma or life event that’s hard to move on from, something happens. Temporary distortions start to develop in our minds. Our flight response overrides everything, causing us to feel anxious and panicky.
And if you feel like that’s you, contact 07966 464 005 or via this contact form to discuss how anxiety hypnosis can help.
HOW DOES HYPNOTHERAPY FOR ANXIETY WORK?
Whether you’re experiencing genuine fear and anxiety or well-camouflaged excitement. These bursts of adrenalin are often an indicator that change is round the corner.
In the sessions, first of all, we’d explore how and in what ways you’d like that change to be. This puts you in control of those bursts of adrenalin and turns any negatives into positive ones.
Hypnotherapy works well because your arousal levels are considerably lower under hypnosis. So that you can start to feel the wonderful stillness and quietness that acts as a stable platform. From here positive change can be comfortably launched and then reinforced.
Results vary from person to person.
WHERE I’M BASED
UNDERSTANDING ANXIETY & ADRENALINE
Anxiety is powered by adrenaline to help with the flight response, but so too is excitement. In some instances, (but not all), anxiety is a misinterpretation of that burst of adrenaline. We may in fact have been experiencing thrilling, life-affirming excitement instead.
But if we’re not sure why we’ve felt a burst of adrenalin, and have no reason to feel excited, it seems natural enough to interpret the feeling as anxiety.
It’s possible that your mind is preparing you for change. And change, as you can imagine, is potentially exciting. Change can also be anxiety-inducing if you’re uncertain or it’s unknown where that change might lead you. In a way, anxiety is a bi-product of our lives not being predictable and pre-determined.
If we knew in advance about every event that was going to happen throughout our lives, there’d be no nourishment for our anxiety.
FREQUENTY ASKED QUESTIONS
Anxiety comes from the primitive version of ourselves. It’s a response that can make us panic and want to escape from a situation. Hypnosis is good for anxiety because it’s a deep state of relaxation. In that state barriers are dropped, allowing new, positive ideas to form. It’s possible to cure anxiety with hypnosis.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question as each individual case is different. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works well for people with feelings of anxiousness as it’s a gentle and relaxing therapy, that can help you to feel more in control. At no point during the session will you be asked to do anything that will increase your anxiety levels.
In general, I find that six to eight sessions are enough to help people overcome their feelings of anxiety and stress. Often after the first session, my clients will often say they feel calmer and more in control of their feelings, subsequent sessions will help reinforce these new coping skills.
Yes, you can treat anxiety with online hypnotherapy. Since the beginning of lockdown in 2019 I started to run online hypnotherapy sessions. I found online hypnosis for anxiety to be an area which was very well suited to clients with social anxiety such as agoraphobia.
