What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is a natural human emotion which everyone experiences from time to time. When times are stressful it is natural for levels of anxiety to increase. In fact, we need a certain amount of anxiety, as like every emotion it has a function.

Healthy levels of anxiety help us to know when something feels off or isn’t right for us. It also helps us know when something is really important to us.

Without any anxiety you wouldn’t feel motivated to finish that college assignment. And acting on stage or going for a job interview would lack passion without a dose of nerves.

Cortisol, one of the stress hormones linked to feelings of anxiety, helps us get out of bed in the morning. So anxiety itself isn’t an issue if experienced at appropriate levels.

When anxiety becomes an issue is when it’s experienced at overwhelming levels, prolonged periods and out of proportion to the situations at hand.

If you struggle with extreme anxiety on a daily or regular basis, it can make everyday stress feel difficult to cope with.

Extreme anxiety issues, if left untreated, can lead to panic attacks, phobias, decision paralysis and isolation.

When anxiousness becomes your default emotion, your nervous system can feel like it’s locked on high alert mode. Sudden sounds or movements can make you feel jumpy, and you might feel afraid that something bad will happen even when you’re safe and there’s no sign of danger.

If you’re struggling with intense worry, panic attacks, overwhelming fear or an overactive nervous system, anxiety hypnotherapy can help .

Signs You Could Benefit From Anxiety Hypnotherapy

If you’ve reached a point where anxiety has become unmanageable, it is a good time to reach out for help. Anxiety hypnotherapy can help resolve the cause of your symptoms and retrain your nervous system to regulate itself, find balance and calm. If you’re thinking about reaching out for help with anxiety, here are some signs that you could benefit from anxiety hypnotherapy.

Some signs of extreme anxiety can include:

Excessive worry, compulsive over-thinking or rumination
Panic attacks or fearing panic attacks
Avoiding social or other everyday activities due to fear of panic or overwhelm
Hyper-vigilance around other people’s perceptions of you or around how anxious you appear to be
Fear or belief that something bad will happen when there are no signs of danger
Avoiding essential activities such as travelling or leaving the house out of fear that something bad will happen
Intense physical reactions such as pounding heart, shaking, sweating profusely, dizziness or feinting due to common situations and levels of stress
Derealisation, depersonalisation, dissociation or fearing that you are losing your mind
Trouble sleeping due to an overactive mind, playing back situations looking for signs of danger or reasons not to trust others
Using drugs or alcohol to numb out intense fears, overwhelming thoughts or panic attacks

What Causes Anxiety Issues?

Anyone can experience anxiety issues, it’s not a sign of being weak or that there’s something wrong with you. Anxiety issues can develop for a number of reasons. Sometimes it’s starts in childhood and for others it can be a reaction to stressful events in adulthood.

Everyone’s tolerance to stress is different and some types of stress are so overwhelming to the nervous system, that it can leave a lasting imprint on your subconscious.

This can sometimes cause your mind to go into a state of overprotection, where the fear response acts like a warning signal to stop you from moving towards a perceived danger.

This is helpful when there is actual danger ahead, but if the trigger is an everyday situation or something you need to do, such as take the bus, it can be very limiting to your quality of life.

Some Common Causes of Anxiety Issues

Instability in childhood, moving around a lot, family dysfunction, separation or childhood trauma
Traumatic incidents in childhood or adulthood, especially if unresolved, unsupported or untreated
Experiences that left you feeling helpless, trapped, overwhelmed or out of control
Bereavement, grief or loss of a loved one at any age
Prolonged exposure to stress or intense situations
Repeated stressful life events that are out of your control
Involvement in or witnessing extreme violence, physical harm, sexual assault, fatalities or acts of terorr
Domestic abuse, narcissistic abuse, coercive control or bullying

How Anxiety Hypnotherapy Can Help

Hypnotherapy is a great way to overcome anxiety issues because it deals with the causes where they are stored, on a subconscious level.

By resolving past experiences and updating old beliefs stored in memories of stressful situations, hypnotherapy can help your nervous system learn that it is safe to relax and begin to regulate itself.

Because your mind on a neural level does not know the difference between you imagining something and a real event (close your eyes and imagine biting into a lemon and you’ll see what I mean when your mouth fills with saliva!) hypnosis can be used to create new experiences that update neural pathways.

When working with a professional hypnotherapist, it is possible to create new experiences of safety in situations that previously seemed scary or overwhelming.

We may also use self-hypnosis techniques which you can use when needed, helping you to feel more in control and create new beliefs of being able to cope with stressful situations.

I have helped clients overcome fears and phobias using hypnotherapy, including:

Public speaking anxiety
Fear of flying or other public transport
Arachnophobia
Panic attacks
Fear of blushing/erythrophobia
Performance anxiety
Generalised anxiety
Agoraphobia

And many other unique experiences of anxiety!

Anxiety Hypnotherapy FAQ

How can hypnotherapy help anxiety?

Hypnotherapy can help relieve symptoms of anxiety by reprocessing past experiences linked to stress and overwhelm, and helping your nervous system learn to regulate itself during and after stressful experiences. Hypnosis can help access subconscious memories and experiences stored in your nervous system, and help update old beliefs that may be affecting how safe you feel. We may also teach you self-hypnosis techniques that help you train your nervous system to relax in times of worry or stress.

Is anxiety hypnotherapy safe to do online?

Yes, anxiety hypnotherapy is considered a safe form of treatment to experience online when performed by a qualified practitioner. Hypnotherapy works exactly the same online as in person, and many people find they can relax more from the comfort of their own home, and may even find it more relaxing with the use of headphones.

How do I know if hypnotherapy will work for me?

One of the benefits of Cognitive Hypnotherapy and inner child work is that there’s no need to enter a deep trance state for the therapy to be effective. We work with lighter trance states, where you remain aware and engaged throughout the process. The real change comes from exploring and resolving old emotions, experiences and beliefs — not from how deeply hypnotised you are.

Will hypnotherapy work for me if my anxiety is linked to trauma?

Anxiety hypnotherapy is very effective for trauma based anxiety, especially when performed by a trauma informed therapist. I have trained in several trauma focused models, allowing me to work safely with anxiety linked to trauma. Because Cognitive Hypnotherapy is an integrative model, we may use techniques from models such as EMDR/IEMT, and other models effective for dealing with trauma, within our sessions.

How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need for low self-esteem?

The number of hypnotherapy sessions needed can vary depending on the underlying causes and severity of your anxiety issues. Many people begin to notice positive changes within 3–6 sessions. However, if your anxiety is linked to significant trauma or abuse, deeper work may be needed and the process can take longer. In some cases, longer-term therapy can be beneficial for resolving more deeply rooted trauma based anxiety patterns.

I offer a free consultation where we can talk through your situation and create a therapy plan tailored to your needs.
