Anxiety, Depression and Stress Management

Anxiety
Anxiety is a fear or concern that becomes exaggerated out of proportion relative to the situation. Although of course, it doesn’t feel exaggerated to the person experiencing it.

We all feel anxious from time to time and that’s natural, but for some people it can grow out of proportion rapidly, become crippling and debilitating, even leading to panic attacks and obsessive thoughts and behaviours.

Anxiety affects young children and teenagers right though to adults of all ages. We live in such stressful times, it’s no surprise that anxiety is at epidemic, life affecting proportions.

Anxiety manifests itself in many situations, such as a fear of being around other people, anxiety in social situations, tension in relationships at home, school, or work. It can be specific to certain situations or for some it can be continuous and all encompassing.

Hypnotherapy is very successful in overcoming anxiety. Helping the client to feel deeply relaxed and safe in the session enables us to uncover and release the negative thought patterns that create anxiety, maintain it and encourage it to become even more powerful. In addition, I teach my clients Self Hypnosis and NLP techniques to use whenever they need to. Ensuring they feel safe and secure whenever they need to, offering a sense of confidence and empowerment they didn’t have before.

In addition to treating anxiety, Hypnotherapy has a high success rate in improving so many areas of our mental health. From long term depression, OCD, Stress, Trauma related issues to seemingly less intrusive problems like nail biting.

Every one of these issues can be overcome with the help of Hypnotherapy.
They all have their origins in the past, for some this may be a childhood memory, for others an incident or experience in adulthood.

Even situations that didn’t involve us directly can still have a profound effect on us. Sometimes relatively trivial things can evolve into bigger issues as we go through life.

Emotions are very complex and how we perceive things and what we learnt when we were growing up shapes us emotionally, into the person we are today. Our subconscious core belief systems are set in us in childhood, picked up from the beliefs of those around us. They tick along inside us and most people have no idea what they are let alone how much they are affected by them.

Hypnotherapy enables us to uncover those origins and see them through the eyes of the person we are today. To rationalize things differently, to let go of these unwanted thought patterns, feelings and behaviours and to move on with our lives, making positive changes using the power of positive suggestion.
