Beat anxiety with online hypnotherapy
As a hypnotherapist, I have seen the transformative power that hypnotherapy can have on individuals suffering from anxiety and the symptoms that come along with it. Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but when it begins to affect a person's daily life, it can be debilitating. It’s the brain trying to protect you, but often, it overreacts, so we train it to realise when it doesn’t need to react.
There’s a big difference between reacting and responding. A reaction is often the primitive brain jumping into action without thinking. A response is a intellectual action that is beneficial to your future self/the situation.
How does hypnotherapy work for anxiety?
Hypnotherapy works for anxiety in several ways. Firstly, it helps to calm the mind and relax the body. During a hypnotherapy session, the client is guided into a deeply relaxed state where their subconscious mind can be accessed. In this state, the mind becomes open to suggestion and is more receptive to positive messages that can help reduce anxiety.
Hypnotherapy reduces negative thought patterns
Hypnotherapy also works to change negative thought patterns that can lead to anxiety. The subconscious mind is responsible for many of our automatic thoughts and behaviours, including those related to anxiety. By identifying and addressing negative thoughts and beliefs, hypnotherapy can help to change these patterns and create a more positive mindset. Hypnotherapy can address habits, over time is slowly reducing bad habits which aren’t serving us, and increases positive habits which can better help us. We find the things that work for us, bring us joy and happiness, and work to increase those in your live. Talking about the problems causes more stress, so we focus on the solutions and what increases your happiness, no matter how small.
Another way hypnotherapy can be effective in treating anxiety is through visualization. During a session, the client can be guided through positive visualizations that help to reduce anxiety and promote feelings of calmness and relaxation. By imagining a safe and peaceful environment, the mind is distracted from anxious thoughts and can focus on positive sensations. During hypnosis trance, the brain can log all the things we just talked about in the first half of session, and it makes you more likely to do those goals you have set yourself.
Finally, hypnotherapy can help to uncover the root causes of anxiety. Sometimes, anxiety is the result of past experiences or traumas that are buried in the subconscious mind. Through hypnotherapy, these experiences can be brought to the surface and processed in a safe and supportive environment, without needing to discuss or experience them again.
In conclusion, hypnotherapy works for people suffering with anxiety and the symptoms of anxiety by helping to calm the mind and body, change negative thought patterns, visualize positive outcomes, and uncover root causes of anxiety. It is a safe and effective form of therapy that can help individuals overcome their anxiety and lead a more fulfilling life. Hypnotherapy can be done online or face to face, and is successful in overcoming anxiety in either form.
