anxiety management with Hypnotherapy/Hypnosis in Wokingham, Reading, Woodley and Berkshire

"A State Of Constant Insecurity that just does not make sense!!"

We all get anxious from time to time and being anxious is a very normal state when we have a reason for it e.g. your husband is not home yet when he should have been there four hour earlier or your girlfriend is showing no interest in you!or else social fears and anxiety that is stopping you from socializing more or going out more...these are all anxious situations that can stop our functioning because the fear and threat to the mind and body is excruciating that we prefer escaping and avoiding these anxiety proviking situations or thoughts.

But when the state of anxiety starts to strike frequently and often appears out of the blue then you know that you may be suffering from an anxiety problem; anxiety is a common symptom in phobias, panic attacks and depression but it can exist on its own. Clients recognise they have an anxiety problem that needs therapy when that anxiety is blocking them from sleeping or concentrating at work; when the anxiety has turned them into a constant worrier who sees danger in everything that is happening around them.

Hypnotherapy and NLP works well with anxiety for the simple reason that anxious people are already under a trance state... a hypnotic state is where the inner world is controlling our behaviour and feelings and thoughts...what does an anxious person do? they start worrying in the night about the coming holidays, presentation, meeting at 3.00am...now see the situation: logically there is nothing stopping them at 3.00am from sleeping except from their own inner mind creating anxious images and "what if(s)"?. So they are under the effect of that inner mind and it then triggers the body into "flight or fight" state and the feelings escalate from worry to threat to palpitaions and then feeling trembling etc...all this is happening while they are just sitting worrying in their inner mind.

Hypnosis used in therapy works well with anxiety because it works directly with that inner mind....whether you call it the right brain, the subconscious mind, the unconscious mind... in hypnotherapy these are all terms denoting that part of the human brain where we store all our learned responses, good or not so good learned responses. Once stored in the right brain these responses get triggered automatically and cannot be stopped logically; for example once you are a good driver you cannot slow down the process of starting the car and getting into gear...it will just feel abnormal to you even though when you started learning you spent hours trying to get those gears right!! the same thing happens with the worrier...once the mind set has been trained to see danger and interpret danger it will do so automatically!!

• palpitations.
• feeling short of breath.
• tingling sensations.
• feeling light-headed.
• sweating profusely.
• feeling cold or hot all over.
• feeling nauseous.
• fear of losing control.
• fears of fainting/passing out.

This anxiety state then permeates our daily functions; for e.g. a housewife finds it very difficult to manage the household budget; an adult trembles at the thought of standing in front of a meeting and making a presentation; an adolescent feels he is going to faint in the exams room.

A generalised state of anxiety is one of the least understood conditions as the person undergoing it cannot explain it as easily as maybe a phobic person can point to the phobic object for example. Here most of reactions seem to come out of the blue and seem to be provoked by some internal thoughts that the person is not aware of; asked what is the problem the person says "I don't know; I just feel like crying; I feel afraid."

Hypnotherapy has worked very well with anxious people when the mind is very relaxed in trance the person feels more in control of these same symptoms that he/she had started to feel controlled and gripped him. Dissociation is one of the techniques that helps the person to look on his/her problem in a more detached and controlled way and he/she feels more equipped to deal with the anxiety through visualisation techniques and inner resources recovered in hypnotherapy.

With Hypnotherapy and NLP The body learns to become relaxed again after months of tension and sends the positive message to the brain that everything is going to be all right and under control. The changes that occur are in the perceptions and reactions of the client towards the issues in his/her life- he/she learns how he/she can master those issues instead of feeling helpless. The goals are defined with the client as the sessions progress towards a more empowered style of living. Using HYpnosis tools and techniques that the client learn as well in self-hypnosis and other homework practice, the Hypnotherapist aims to train that subconscious mind to learn and reinforce that new learning that the client is safe and in control. Those triggers of anxiety like "i am too small for the world!" or "i am not good enough for exams!" are worked on to become more healthy beliefs that are then conditioned subconsciously into the right brain. Although it sounds as if the hypnotherapist is drilling something into the client the truth about hypnotherapy is that the client who comes in with anxiety and fears is doing everything himself/herself" But because they are learning under such a state of relaxation that is trance they feel it is effortless and efficiently done within 4-6 sessions of Hypnotherapya nd NLP
