Hypnosis for Anxiety

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does hypnotherapy help with anxiety?

Anxiety is largely driven by subconscious patterns: automatic fear responses, catastrophic thinking loops, and deep-seated beliefs about safety or control. Hypnotherapy gives us direct access to that subconscious layer. In a calm, focused state, we identify and reframe the root beliefs fueling your anxiety, replacing them with more grounded, realistic responses. Many clients notice a meaningful shift in how they feel after just the first session.

How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need for anxiety?

Our structured 3-session model addresses anxiety efficiently without an open-ended commitment. Each session has a clear purpose: the first establishes a foundation of calm and begins identifying core patterns; the second targets your specific anxiety triggers more directly; the third integrates the changes and equips you with tools to access that calm independently — even in the situations that used to trigger you.

Is hypnotherapy for anxiety safe? Will I have to relive traumatic experiences?

Hypnotherapy is completely safe and non-invasive. You remain in full control throughout every session and can speak, move, or end the session at any time. We do not force you to revisit painful experiences. Instead, we work in a compassionate, solution-focused way — building new responses rather than dwelling on the past. Clients consistently describe sessions as among the most relaxed they have felt in years.

 

How is hypnotherapy different from therapy or counseling for anxiety?

Yes. Panic attacks are one of the most acute expressions of anxiety, and hypnotherapy addresses them at their source — the subconscious fight-or-flight triggers that misfire in everyday situations. Through our sessions, clients learn to recognize and interrupt the early signals of a panic response and develop a reliable internal sense of calm that becomes more accessible over time, even in high-stress situations.

Hypnotherapy Success Stories ...


A Great Experience

I would just like to say what a great experience my hypnosis sessions were. Tom immediately put me at ease as I was little apprehensive. Not quite knowing what to expect. I had been experiencing increasing anxiety, which was adversly impacting my everyday life. I had 3 sessions and now 2 months later I have not experienced ANY anxiety during that time. It is miraculous, like a weight being lifted from shoulders. Thank you.

I’ve Found a Strength in Myself

I live in Coopersburg, PA, and I originally went to see Tom Laessig because I wanted help quitting vaping.

After meeting with him and talking a little deeper, it became clear that he could help me with a lot more than just that. Honestly, I didn’t really know what to expect going into it, but after 3 sessions with Tom, I can say it was one of the best decisions I’ve made.

He helped me work through past issues and trauma that I didn’t even realize were still affecting me.

Since seeing him, I feel like I’ve found a strength in myself that I didn’t know I still had. I also feel a new sense of energy and positivity in life that I haven’t felt in a very long time.


Tom is professional, easy to talk to, and you can tell he truly cares about helping the people he works with.

I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering hypnotherapy or is just looking for help getting through things they may not even realize are holding them back

I was in a Dark Place Mentally

I'm very pleased with the experience I had with Tom. I was in a very dark place mentally. I had almost given up completely in every aspect of my life. That feeling of being underwater but still here grew a little more unbearable every day. After my sessions with Tom, my life is not all sunshine and rainbows all of a sudden. But I'm no longer angry every morning for waking up, it doesn't hurt to breathe. He didn't pull me out of the hole, but he gave me a shovel.
I still have lots of things to work on but they no longer feel impossible. Taking baby steps and making little changes is helping me a lot. I'm hopeful, and for that I am very grateful.
