Anxiety & Stress
What is Anxiety and Stress?
Anxiety disorders and chronic stress are increasingly affecting people of all ages and backgrounds. Anxiety and stress are natural responses that everyone experiences when dealing with challenging or unfamiliar situations; however, excessive anxiety and stress can interfere with daily life and cause health issues.
​
Stress is the body’s natural response to any demand or challenge, whether physical, mental, or emotional. While short-term stress can be motivating and help you cope with challenges, prolonged or chronic stress can negatively impact your health and well-being​
​
Anxiety is a feeling of intense worry, fear, or unease about a situation, event, or the future. When anxiety is persistent and excessive, it becomes overwhelming instead of helpful. This level of anxiety doesn't only affect your mind but can also cause physical symptoms.
Common symptoms of Anxiety & Stress
​Symptoms of anxiety and stress can range from being mild to severe, and they can impact both your mental and physical well-being. Everyone's experiences with anxiety and stress will vary slightly but some commonly experienced symptoms include:
Excessive worrying, fear and feeling overwhelmed
Avoidance of situations that trigger anxiety
Physical symptoms: increased heart rate, sweating, trembling, headaches, stomach pain
Restlessness or feeling on edge
Sleep disturbances such as trouble falling or staying asleep
Brain fog
Panic attacks
Racing thoughts and difficulty making decisions
How hypnotherapy can help
​Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool for managing anxiety and stress. By guiding you into a deeply relaxed state, hypnotherapy allows access to the subconscious mind, where many of our automatic responses to stress and anxiety are stored. Through positive suggestions and visualisation techniques, hypnotherapy can help in the following ways:
​​
1
Resolving underlying causes
By exploring the subconscious mind, it is possible to find & address any underlying causes or contributing factors that could be causing anxiety. By identifying and resolving these core issues, it is possible to let go of any repressed emotions from past events that could be causing additional anxiety or stress.
2
Relaxation & stress reduction
When entering a deep state of relaxation through visualisation and guided imagery, there is an immediate reduction in psychological stress and physical tension. While in this state, it is possible to reframe the perception of stressors, enabling a healthier reaction to life's challenges.
3
Breaking negative thought patterns
Negative thinking patterns often stem from ingrained beliefs that shape behaviours and emotions. Hypnotherapy helps trace and address the root causes of these beliefs, allowing them to be replaced with more positive, empowering thoughts.
4
Boosting self esteem and confidence
Individuals who suffer from anxiety often experience difficulties with self-esteem and self-confidence, which can exacerbate their anxiety. Hypnotherapy boosts self-esteem and confidence by addressing underlying issues, reframing self-perception, and fostering self-acceptance.
Regaining control from anxiety
Imagine a life where anxiety no longer controls you, but you control it. Through hypnotherapy, you can rediscover your inner strength and resilience. You can learn to face life's challenges with a sense of calm, clarity, and confidence. Remember, the power to overcome anxiety lies within you. Take the first step today, and embrace a future filled with peace and balance.
