What is Anxiety?
Like depression anxiety is not a conscious choice. It is an emotional response triggered in the deeper parts of the brain. Since hypnotherapy deals with the subconscious mind, and rewires emotional responses directly, it is an effective solution to help you feel calm and more positive quickly and safely.
Anxiety is a complex issue that can take many different forms. At times these feelings may become frequent, interfering with your everyday life and ability to function on a daily basis. When this happens, it might be time to look deeper and take action.
The symptoms of anxiety can vary depending on the individual and the type of anxiety they are experiencing. Some common symptoms include:
-
Excessive worry or fear about everyday situations
-
Feelings of restlessness or agitation
-
Difficulty concentrating or focusing
-
Fatigue or lethargy
-
Physical symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, or stomach upset
-
Sleep disturbances or insomnia
-
Avoidance of certain situations or activities
-
Panic attacks, which can include rapid heart rate, sweating, and difficulty breathing
It's important to note that everyone experiences anxiety differently, and symptoms can range from mild to severe. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to seek professional help to determine the best course of treatment for you.

Does hypnosis really work for anxiety:
Evidence and Research
Hypnosis - Does it really work for anxiety? The short answer is yes, it does! And we have the research to back it up.
Multiple studies have found that hypnosis can be an effective technique for relieving stress, fear, and anxiety. One such study in 2016 involved brain scans of people who underwent guided hypnosis sessions, similar to those used to clinically treat anxiety, pain, or trauma. The scans showed changes in brain activity, indicating greater physical and emotional control, heightened focus, and reduced self-consciousness.
Another study found that self-hypnosis training can be a rapid, cost-effective, and safe alternative to medication for treating anxiety-related conditions. And yet another study showed that hypnosis can help reduce anxiety before surgery, with patients who underwent hypnosis experiencing less pain, fatigue, and emotional stress during the procedure.
But it's not just for medical situations. A study with students who were taught self-hypnosis revealed that it helped reduce anxiety and feelings of helplessness, with greater effects than traditional relaxation techniques.
Research suggests that the benefits of hypnotherapy can continue long after the sessions have ended. In a study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, researchers found that individuals who received hypnosis treatment for anxiety experienced significant improvements that lasted for at least six months after the treatment had ended.
