Anxiety and Stress Support

One of the primary goals of hypnotherapy is to induce a state of deep relaxation. Learning to relax helps to alleviate the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as muscle tension & increased heart rate.

We can practice the “relaxation response”, an essential skill in responding well to stress & anxiety. You will gain leverage with your emotions, triggers & coping mechanisms.

Hypnotherapy can help you identify & address underlying causes of anxiety, including deeply rooted beliefs, fears & mental patterns in your subconscious mind. 

Developing self-awareness will empower you to take control of anxiety & make positive changes in your life.

Hypnotherapy facilitates behavioral changes that reduce anxiety. This includes changing negative thought patterns, enhancing coping mechanisms, and fostering a sense of control over anxious triggers.

Hypnotherapy can be used alongside other therapeutic approaches or medications for anxiety, providing a holistic and complementary treatment option.

Anxiety is a complex problem that requires ongoing support. In our first session we'll come up with a therapeutic plan together. We will:

• Unpack what anxiety feels like for you. Clarify, triggers, situations, coping strategies, and desired goals to work on.

• We decide on a approach together then use hypnotherapy & NLP techniques to support you in finding peace, heal from traumatic experience, find healthy coping strategies, and gain confidence.

• Create a supportive environment for you to find peace, heal from traumatic experience, find healthy coping strategies, and gain confidence.

You should walk away from a first session with:

• More clarity

• A sense of resolution & the initiation of positive change.

• The feeling of empowerment to overcome anxiety

• A clear therapeutic plan

It is important to note that the benefits of hypnotherapy are cumulative. The more you practice (during sessions and via self-hypnosis) the more concrete your results will be.

Anxiety is a normal human emotion characterized by feelings of worry, nervousness, or fear about future events, uncertain outcomes, or perceived threats.

It's a natural response that can help us anticipate and respond to potential dangers, but when it becomes excessive or persistent, it can interfere with daily life and well-being.

Living with anxiety & stress is tough. Unfortunately, It is all to common in our fast paced world. You are not alone. Seeking help is a great step towards feeling better.

Anxiety can be specific and multifaceted. I support people with all kinds of anxiety, such as:

• General anxiety

• Social anxiety

• Performance anxiety

• Work stress, study stress

• Financial stress

• Task related/ exams anxiety

• Fears and phobia

• Caretaker’s anxiety

Signs and symptoms of anxiety can vary widely among individuals, but common manifestations may include:

• Excessive Worry: Feeling worried or anxious most of the time, even when there is no specific reason for concern.

• Physical Symptoms: These can include: (Increased heart rate or palpitations (sweating, trembling or shaking, shortness of breath or hyperventilation, muscle tension or aches, fatigue or restlessness, gastrointestinal issues such as stomachaches or nausea)

• Cognitive Symptoms (Racing thoughts, difficulty concentrating or focusing, catastrophic thinking (expecting the worst to happen), intrusive thoughts or worries that are hard to control

• Emotional Symptoms (Feelings of apprehension or dread, Irritability or agitation, feelings of panic or impending doom, restlessness or feeling on edge

• Behavioral Symptoms (Avoidance of situations or activities that trigger anxiety, difficulty sleeping or staying asleep (insomnia, compulsive behaviors or rituals (such as excessive hand washing or checking, Coping by avoidance, pleasure seeking withdrawal from normal healthy activities)

• Difficulty making decisions or taking action due to fear of negative outcomes

• Social Symptoms (Withdrawal from social activities or relationships, Difficulty interacting with others due to fear of judgement or embarrassment, Feeling self-conscious or insecure in social situations)

A good therapy can support you in facing and overcoming your fears. With gradual exposure, you gain confidence and diffuse your anxious trigger, step by step. 

This is called exposure therapy or progressive desensitization. Hypnotherapy and NLP can quicken this process with a variety of techniques such as the switch and state Anchoring. 

It is important to note that physical well-being has a significant impact on mental health.

We can work on establishing and maintaining positive mental health Habits, such as self-care, prioritizing regular exercise, healthy eating, adequate sleep, natural light exposure, and limiting stimulants. 

We will aim to identify and minimize sources of stress in your life whenever possible. We will find ways to help you reduce feelings of self-inflicted pressure, life’s stress and expectations.

We can reduce feelings of overwhelm by breaking down goals and responsibilities to make them more manageable daily. As well as practicing healthy boundaries so that you do not take on more than you can chew

Overcoming anxiety is a gradual process that takes time and effort. Celebrate your progress, no matter how small, be patient and kind with yourself during setbacks. I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey. 

Hypnotherapy is a low risk holistic intervention. It can work alongside other therapeutic approaches, and alongside medication. It can also be effective in lieu of using medication as long as it is approved by your doctor or healthcare professional.
