Anxiety – Hypnotherapy Helps
Irrespective of its cause, anxiety is an unwanted and unpleasant sesnation. It affects our mood, motivation, confidence, concentration and sleep. Anxiety is at the root of most problems, issues and life challenges that a hypnotherapist is asked to provide assistance with.
Anxiety Causes 
Commonly, anxiety has as its cause a sense of dread or fear. This fear is about losing something and that something might be finances, status, respect, relationship, job, home, or other loss. Predominantly it is the expectation of a future unwelcome event, whether it occurs or not, that brings the anxious feeling.
Take a typical employed worker who might hear gossip that there are going to be redundancies. He or she quickly realises that if they lose their job their financial status will deteriorate and as a consequence frets, worries, and feels anxiety.
Anxiety – The body’s Reaction
Anxiety tends to lead to higher hormonal production and in especially adrenaline. Adrenaline gets the body ready for action. The “fight or flight” syndrome kicks in. The muscles may tense, blood is drawn away from the digestive system (hence a loss of appetite is experienced) and the peripheral vision increases (hence the reduction in the ability to focus).
Numerous other examples like the above can be perceived as threats to someone’s lifestyle and their status quo. Actual and perceived threats can result in the same anxiety. More often than not perceived changes never materialise and the anxiety, worry and fear dissipate.
For some though, the anxiety stays. For this person It’s almost like they can’t trust themselves or their world enough to be able to relax. They expect something to go wrong sooner or later and so they begin to worry about what next event will give them anxiety.
Social Phobia and Anxiety
Others learn to be anxious during certain experiences. Social phobia is the fear of being with people in certain situations. This anxiety might not be present if the social phobic is on familiar ground and only meeting one person. However anxiety can arise if they are invited to a new venue and they have to socialise with two or more people.
Anxiety from phobias are learnt responses and can be unlearned.
Anxiety – Hypnotherapy Helps
Hypnotherapy is particularly effective at helping to uncover the cause of a person’s anxiety. Then through the teaching of self-hypnosis, the previously anxious person can learn a relaxation technique to control, reduce and resolve the links to experiences, perceptions and anxiety.
Hypnotherapy for reduction in feelings of anxiety is one of the most popular requests any hypnotherapist received from clients.
