Hypnotherapy can be one of the most effective treatment for anxiety

Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear that may cause someone to sweat, feel tense, and experience a rapid heartbeat. While a natural response to stress, anxiety can vary in severity. Mild anxiety is something we will all experience, but when these feelings start to affect our daily lives, it can be indicative of an anxiety disorder. Those with anxiety disorders have anxiety that does not go away. It interferes with daily life and leaves people feeling overwhelmed.

Anxiety will feel different to everyone, however, common signs include:

• overthinking
• ruminating
• headaches
• chest pain
• dizziness
• difficulties sleeping
• faster breathing
• nausea
• fast or irregular heartbeat
• teeth grinding
• restlessness

Hypnosis may help individuals with anxiety because it eases them into a relaxed and calm state. It can reduce the fear that individuals experience. Measurable qualities of fear include blood pressure and heart rate.

Hypnotherapy can be an effective method for coping with stress and anxiety. In particular, hypnosis can reduce stress and anxiety before a medical procedure. The technique may also lower blood pressure by easing the mind and body into a relaxed and calm state. Once the hypnosis relaxes their body, they can redirect their mind away from focusing on their fears.
