When your natural, protective fight or flight instincts become irrational or overwhelming, anxiety can get in your way.

Anxiety is no longer a healthy natural defense mechanism, at that point, but an exaggerated or constant false alarm, rooted in your automatic thoughts. Your roiling emotions and debilitating beliefs about yourself and what the future holds become obstacles and excuses for not living the way you desire.

Of course, you likely don’t mean to worry the way you do. In fact, your anxiety symptoms are probably not conscious choices you’re making.

For example, how often does your body simply default to racing thoughts and mental chatter when you’re faced with a room full of strangers? Or how often have you felt your heart race and your mind lock on doom and gloom when life takes an unexpected turn?

These responses are not only automatic, but they are also learned subconsciously. Thus, to obtain the most relief, a therapy that can reach and retrain the subconscious mind is ideal.

Clinical hypnosis bypasses the conscious mind so the subconscious mind can provide anxiety relief.

How?

Essentially, think of clinical hypnosis as an altered state of consciousness, awareness or perception. When you enter this state you will remain extremely relaxed, feeling refreshed and calm. This relaxed state allows your conscious and subconscious to become very focused and highly receptive to beneficial and productive suggestion from your therapist.

Hypnosis for anxiety is a safe, professional procedure meant to help you cope more effectively with automatic thinking and bodily reaction. By dealing with your anxiety through hypnosis you can transform your thinking rather than just manage your default responses.

Traditional anxiety therapy aims to help you control your fear. Hypnosis helps you remove it.

By removing key subconscious, irrational information, it is unlikely that anxiety will require ongoing management. Instead, you can move on, confident that you are operating in reality with clarity and awareness.

Hypnosis helps you identify, investigate, and reframe the irrational, automatic thoughts fueling anxiety.

So, when you enter a state of hypnosis, you are aware and completely at ease. Your subconscious is available. The previously unmanageable, automatic thoughts keeping you stuck in anxiety are accessible.

Furthermore, the internal dialogue, triggers, and feelings connected to your anxiety are now visible and you can get a good look through several lenses:

Hypnosis Helps You Identify and Assess Your Anxious Emotions

Anxiety is based in emotion. Determining how you feel is an important part of dealing with your anxious thoughts. To know what triggers you or creates certain feelings and sensations, you’ll need to notice and identify the emotions that spark anxious thoughts and reaction.

What emotions precede and result from your anxiety? Do you feel low and ashamed? Are you embarrassed or defeated? Does a sense of helplessness or overwhelm occur?

Hypnosis Supports a Deep Look at Your Anxiety-triggering Experiences

The relaxed state of hypnosis makes exploring relevant portions of your past ideal. You will look at the experiences that originally triggered anxiety and explore the current irrational, emotional fallout. This will help put the anxiety in context and promote a better sense of self-understanding and awareness.

Hypnosis Provides a New Frame of Reference

Hypnosis affords you the opportunity to reframe the past situation that sparked your anxiety. You can learn to cope with triggers internally before they spring up in your world. Through suggestion and relaxed observation, you’ll capably reimagine the circumstances of the past. Imagine yourself less affected by the troubling experience and more able to release it when it happened.

Accepting this new information in your subconscious means you may operate with more automatic focus and self-control, unhindered by the previously associated emotions.

Take the next step…

Ultimately, unchecked anxiety changes you on a conscious and subconscious level. With supportive, professional hypnosis therapy, you can prevent anxiety and worry from holding you back any longer.
