Why Do We Feel Anxious?
Anxiety is a natural coping mechanism that is nature’s way of keeping us safe. At the right time and place, worrying focuses our minds and makes us careful in case a situation might be dangerous. Anxiety can be a problem if we lose the ability to put the real level of a threat into perspective. When your emotions completely overwhelm your logic, you may begin to experience intense anxiety even when there is no actual danger present.
What are the Symptoms of Anxiety?
When your emotional alarm system decides a situation as dangerous, it triggers a cascade of unpleasant and often scary responses. Common physical signs of anxiety and worrying include:
- Chronic tiredness and severely disturbed sleep patterns,
- Dizziness and headaches,
- An irregular heartbeat or palpitations,
- Shortness of breath and muscular aches,
- Intestinal issues like diarrhea, constipation, or stomach nausea,
- Persistent negative thinking.
How does Hypnotherapy Help with Anxiety and Worrying?
Your emotional (unconscious) mind may be reacting to outdated or faulty data, so it is sending along anxiety when there is little or no danger. For example, if you were mugged whilst walking down a particular street, you feel anxious whenever you go there. Logically, you know it’s unlikely to happen again, but emotionally you still feel as if it might.
Hypnosis allows a therapist to safely update those responses, improving your wellbeing, rebuilding your confidence, and breaking the cycle of intrusive negative thinking.
Hypnotherapy for anxiety often takes just a few sessions to start to feel in control again.
Free Download: Reduce Your Anxiety
Therapy to reduce anxious thinking and feelings might involve helping you to find new ways to challenge the thoughts, relax and feel confident instead of worrying, and perhaps looking at when and why you first became anxious. Every course of hypnotherapy is different because every person is different.
Some of these symptoms can, of course, be caused by physical conditions that need to be treated by your GP, and it’s wise to get these ruled out. Once they are, especially if your symptoms are relatively mild, you can do some things yourself to help reduce them. Download this flyer, or check out my blog, using the #anxiety and worry tag.
