Hypnotherapy for Anxiety

Hypnotherapy for Anxiety can offer profound support if you’re struggling to manage persistent feelings of fear, worry, or overwhelm. While it’s normal to feel anxious during stressful times, most people find their anxiety fades once the situation resolves. But if those feelings continue long after the stress has passed, you may be experiencing an anxiety-related disorder and Hypnotherapy for Anxiety can help address the root causes gently and effectively.

The emotional symptoms of anxiety can include

• Being unable to sit still
• Feeling on edge and restless
• Feeling like something horrible is about to happen
• Feeling easily irritated

The physical symptoms of anxiety can include 

• A racing heart
• Headaches
• Pins and needles
• Struggling to breathe
• Shaking
• A dry mouth
• Sweating
• A churning sensation in your stomach

Anxiety can be further broken down into 3 main disorders.

Generalised Anxiety Disorder

GAD is a long-term condition that causes you to feel anxious about a wide range of situations and issues, rather than one specific event. If you have GAD you might feel anxious most days and struggle to remember the last time you felt relaxed. As soon as you resolve one anxious thought, another may appear about a different issue.

Social Anxiety Disorder

Social anxiety disorder is more than shyness. If you experience it, you might feel intense fear and anxiety over everyday activities, such as shopping or speaking on the phone. Many of us worry about certain social situations, but social anxiety disorder means you worry excessively about these situations before, during and after them. You might be afraid of doing or saying something you think will be embarrassing or humiliating, like blushing or sweating.

Panic Disorder

A panic disorder is where you have recurring and regular panic attacks, usually for no apparent reason. You might start sweating or shaking, feel like your heart is racing or skipping beats, or feel like you’re going to be sick. You may also want to stop what you’re doing and run away. Panic attacks can be frightening and intense, but they’re not dangerous. Worrying about having further attacks can make you avoid people, places or situations where you had an attack before.
