Treating Anxiety With Hypnosis – Everything You Need To Know

Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental health issues in today’s society. Despite being so common, they often go untreated. Instead of treating their anxiety, people have a tendency to ignore their anxiety disorders and overlook the impact they can have on life.

In the US alone, there are 40 million adult citizens that suffer from anxiety disorders—that makes 18% of the population.

There is no clear way of dealing with anxiety, some methods work with some people but may not work with others. Some individuals are able to combat anxiety with deep-breathing and positive self-talk while others need to use medication. The levels of anxiety also vary from person to person.

Defining anxiety

Worrying is normal; everyone worries. The problem arises when you’re constantly worrying about everyday activities and events and have difficulty in stopping them. This excessive worrying creeps into other parts of your life and stops you from excelling.

Handling anxiety with hypnosis

According to some psychologists, feelings of anxiety are stimulated by experiences from the past that are often suppressed in the backs of our minds.

Hypnosis gives us access to these suppressed memories and allows us to rewire our brains so we are better able to deal with feelings of anxiety.

A study found that clinical hypnosis showed 70% enhanced outcomes and long-term effects than Cognitive Behavior Therapy, making it a much better option for those dealing with anxiety.

Hypnosis helps with anxiety in various ways:

  • It relaxes you. People can get very overwhelmed by anxiety. If they’re undergoing one stressful situation, they begin applying it to other parts of their life as well – making the problem bigger than it needs to be. Hypnosis helps them control their emotions so they stop over-exaggerating.
  • It can help you find the true cause of your anxiety. A specific moment from the past may be impacting your life without you realizing it.
  • With hypnosis, you can build and embed positive emotions in your mind that can help combat feeling of anxiety.
