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 ...


A Powerful Experience

It would be difficult to overstate the powerful experience I had under Tom's guidance. I sought greater ability to control my eating, but what I received was not only this, but a deeper understanding of myself, including a very hopeful future. Worth every penny.

Face My Fears and Anxiety

Tom is deeply invested in helping me face my fears and anxieties in a safe space. I immediately felt at ease to process vulnerable thoughts and everything was handled with understanding and compassion. The practice of hypnotherapy led by Tom is extremely calming, insightful and relevant. Wholeheartedly recommend.

I finally have clarity!

I finally have clarity! I can think and make decisions more clearly. My self confidence and self love are improving. It’s funny, it's like I have these epiphanies to problems or issues that I would normally dwell on but instead I problem solve them myself and move on.

It’s like my brain is finally wired correctly. I stopped feeling sorry for myself. I no longer view my childhood as a negative thing that happened to me but rather something I went through to make me the strong person and mother I am today.

I can talk to people more easily. I feel like my old self (before I had kids) where I stand up for myself and what I want without guilt. If I do start having negative thoughts, I redirect very easily, it’s like this little voice saying “how is that going to serve you?”

I have greatly noticed this calm about me. I used to hold on to emotions and physically feel them throughout my body. I don’t let things bother me the way they used to. I don’t overreact or let other people’s negativity effect me.

I am definitely feeling the love and positivity and trying to exude it onto others. I now give out compliments likes it’s my job. I see so many improvements in myself and am super happy about that! I feel so grateful, relieved and lighter.

I would definitely recommend hypnotherapy to anyone wanting a change for the better in their lives.
