Hypnotherapy for Anxiety & Stress

Anxiety is our body's response to danger (whether real or imagined), and it activates our primitive survival instinct to identify and avoid potentially dangerous situations.

We can all experience anxiety from time to time. A little bit of anxiety can be a good thing, at the right time and right place. For example worrying about performance in a job interview or exam, can provide the motivation to practice or prepare well, or concern about safety may make us more care when driving  in bad weather.

However if left un-checked and if the anxiety relates to things we can not take always control over, it can quickly grow. It becomes persistent,  all encompassing and can begin to negatively affect our daily lives.

Anxiety is more than just worrying thoughts. It can affect us physically and mentally and can  have an impact upon existing medical conditionals .

Psychologically, anxiety can make us feel, worried, overwhelmed, irritable and irrational. It can lead to us feeling low, and withdrawing from activities or people that usually we enjoy. This has a snowball effect, as the less we do, the less we want to do, everyday becomes a struggle and the anxiety takes hold.

Physically, anxiety is linked to many problems including, headaches,  IBS, Sleep problems, weight gain or loss, palpitations, panic attacks chest pains, muscular skeletal issues and more.

Hypnotherapy can be extremely effective in helping to manage anxious thoughts and reduce stress. It can help  you take back control of  your thoughts, think more rationally and positively about situations.
