What Is Anxiety?
There are times in our lives when it is rational and appropriate to feel a little anxious; just before an exam, or a job interview, or a big presentation. However, sometimes this anxiety will show up when it is inappropriate, or irrational. Sometimes it will exhibit in a manner that is completely disproportionate to the situation, causing chest palpitations, shortness of breath, dark thoughts, and many other symptoms besides. When this happens, it is because your subconscious has, for whatever reason, learned to interpret your surroundings or situation as dangerous. Unfortunately, it’s very possible to learn the wrong lessons by mistake, depending on our past or our upbringing.
How Do I Treat It?
Hypnosis, or trance, is a very common mental state in which the subconscious and the conscious mind communicate. Simply put, whenever we use our imagination, we are briefly entering trance. It is in these moments that we can help the subconscious unlearn its less helpful responses, and pick up new, more beneficial ones.
I use a blended and systematic approach to treat anxiety. After creating an environment where you can feel safe and respected, I will help you neutralise any trauma that may have contributed to your anxious state using highly effective Rewind and Timeline therapies. Once the cause of the problem is dealt with, I will help you to deconstruct the individual anxiety reactions and replace them with more measured and rational responses.
During this, you will go into trance a number of times. You will have full awareness and control of yourself in these moments, and will easily be able to communicate or stop if you feel uncomfortable. I use calming, neutral language and relaxation techniques to help make this process feel restful and rejuvenating, with clients often reporting a ‘refreshed’ feeling after a session is over.
Depending on the clients past experiences, this is generally done within 15 sessions at the most, although sometimes significantly fewer are required.
Side effects of treatment include:
- Improved sleep
- More energy
- Better capacity to make rational decisions
- Ability to stand up for yourself in an appropriate manner
- Feeling unencumbered, or ’lighter’
- Greater resilience in difficult situations
- Higher motivation towards your own personal goals
