What is Hypnosis for Anxiety?

Anxiety is your body’s natural response to stress.  It's a normal and often healthy emotion.  However, when you feel anxiety recurring every day, you may need help to reduce it and hypnosis is an excellent vehicle to reduce those feelings and get relief.

Know that you're not alone as anxiety affects 40 million Americans each year.  It’s the most common mental illness in the U.S.

Definition of Anxiety

Definitions of anxiety are all over the place but some anxiety disorders include fears, phobias, PTSD, panic attacks, OCD, social anxiety, constant worry and separation anxiety.  Some anxiety symptoms include panic, fear, IBS, migraines and insomnia.  Whenever you don’t feel right in a given situation, you may have anxiety.

Hypnosis for Anxiety

Hypnosis for anxiety can be very helpful by relaxing your mind helping you to let go of fear, worry and stress.  Many times, anxiety can be traced to a traumatic event at some point in your life.  In other instances, anxiety can build over many years as the feeling of being in control fades away.  Using hypnosis, we use the healing power of your mind to make changes in the way your subconscious mind processes events that cause anxiety. 

When caused by a traumatic occurrence, the event creates an emotion that is triggered by certain actions in your current life.  Hypnosis can explore repressed memories and traumatic experiences and then deal with the negative emotions created by the event that continues to surface in the present.

Once those emotions get released, hypnosis will relax and calm the mind and install a desire for healthy thoughts and habits.  You will feel like a new person and ready to accomplish the goals you have set in your life.

Hypnotherapy Success Stories ...


Day 22 without a drink

Thanks for checking in. I am doing very well. Day 22 without a drink. Of all the attempts I have made to stop drinking in my life, this is absolutely the easiest time I have had trying to eliminate alcohol from my life. I am at the point I never ever want to go back to that. I hadn’t done hypnosis before to try and stop drinking and I feel it has played a significant role in helping me not pick it back up.
