What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a mental health condition that can have a significant negative impact on a person’s life. This occurs when normal feelings of worry and fear become overwhelming and unmanageable.

When this happens, Anxiety can cause physical, emotional, and behavioural symptoms that can interfere with a person’s normal daily activities.

What are the Signs of Anxiety? How to Recognise Anxiety.

Anxiety is a state of mind accompanied with emotional responses characterized by feelings of apprehension, worry and unease. It is a common psychological and physiological response to stress or threat. Anxiety can be experienced when faced with a difficult situation, or when anticipating something with an uncertain outcome. In some cases, anxiety can be a disabling condition that can significantly interfere with daily activities.

Symptoms of anxiety can vary from person to person, but usually involve feelings of nervousness, restlessness, uneasiness, and fear.

These feelings can often be accompanied by physical symptoms such as increased heart rate, sweating, trembling, and difficulty in breathing.

People with anxiety may also experience difficulty concentrating, irritability, and difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.

It is important to recognize the signs and symptoms of anxiety in order to seek help and treatment. Anxiety can be managed with the help of a qualified mental health professional, who can provide counselling and recommend medications or other treatments to help you manage your symptoms.

Anxiety can also be managed through lifestyle changes such as getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and eating a healthy diet.

Anxiety is a normal and natural emotion that everyone experiences at some point in their life.

How Hypnotherapy Works To Reduce Anxiety?

Hypnotherapy Is Safe, Natural and Effective

Hypnotherapy for anxiety is typically conducted by a qualified hypnotherapist. Read about me HERE. The therapist will use various techniques to induce a trance-like state in the patient, such as guided imagery, relaxation exercises, and positive affirmations. During the trance-like state, the therapist will work with the patient to help them gain insight into their anxiety and learn to cope with it.

The benefits of hypnotherapy for anxiety are numerous. It is non-invasive, relatively affordable, and can be done in the comfort of the patient’s own home. It should also be be tailored precisely to the individual’s needs, and there is no risk of side effects. Furthermore, hypnotherapy for anxiety has been found to be more effective than some forms of drug therapy and is often more effective and faster than other forms of talking therapy.

Overall, hypnotherapy for anxiety is a safe and effective treatment for those struggling with anxiety disorders. It is important to note, however, that it is not a one-size-fits-all solution and should be used in combination with other treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, to maximize its effectiveness. It is also important to consult with a fully qualified and registered hypnotherapist before beginning any form of hypnotherapy for anxiety.

Can I Be Free From Anxiety Forever?

As anxiety is a normal human response, feeling, reaction to certain situations, the answer is no, because we do not want to remove normal feelings. Remember these are there for a good reason, and are designed to actually help us. Just as we feel fear in order to make us take action in order to keep ourselves safe, if the feeling of fear was to be removed we would walk right into danger without due care and attention.

What we are really seeking is for anxiety to be reduced to an appropriate and healthy level, which is manageable, and serves to help us in our day to day life, rather than hinder us!.

For Example:

You have a busy day ahead of you, and anxiety alerts you that you simply do not have sufficient time to cram everything in that you had initially intended, causing you to rethink your schedule and maybe swap things around with other days, to give yourself more time to complete your tasks comfortably.

How Many Sessions of Hypnotherapy are Needed for Anxiety?

The process of hypnotherapy is a collaborative one, between the client and the therapist. As every individual and their needs are different, so too is the treatment they require for anxiety. My goal is always to help a client reach their solution state as quickly as possible. I never sign a client up for a course of sessions, as it is decided between the client and myself based on their individual journey and progression. Usually sessions are once a week, as this gives time for change to occur between sessions and this itself informs where we go from there.  Use my Contact Form below to ask any questions about how Hypnotherapy can help you!
