Signs of anxiety and stress

Anxiety can show up in different ways, including:

• constant worry or overthinking

• difficulty relaxing or switching off

• panic attacks or sudden feelings of fear

• trouble sleeping

• physical symptoms such as a racing heart or tension

Stress and anxiety often go hand in hand, creating a cycle that can feel hard to break.

How hypnotherapy for anxiety works

Hypnotherapy works by helping you access the subconscious mind, where anxious patterns and automatic responses are formed.

Instead of just managing symptoms, hypnotherapy for anxiety focuses on changing the underlying thought patterns that keep anxiety going.

This can help you:

• feel calmer in everyday situations

• reduce overthinking and worry

• respond differently to triggers

• regain a sense of control

Hypnotherapy helps your body and mind relax deeply, reducing the impact of stress and allowing you to reset how you respond to pressure.

Understanding Anxiety

Located deep within the brain are a group of structures, collectively called the Limbic System. The most influential part of the brain’s Limbic System is the Amygdala, an almond-size group of neurons which act a bit like a security guard, constantly scanning the environment and the data received from all your senses to protect you from any potential threat or danger.

Other key parts of the Limbic System include the Hippocampus and the Hypothalamus. The Hippocampus is a bit like a library within your brain and stores a record of all your habits and behaviours. The Hypothalamus is like a chemist, manufacturing all the chemicals, transmitters and hormones in the mind and body that keep everything running.

If you were walking down a street and suddenly, out of nowhere an escaped bear was charging toward you the Amygdala would instantaneously sound the alarm, co-ordinate with the Hippocampus and Hypothalamus and activate the fight or flight response: Your heart would pump faster, your blood pressure would go up, you would probably be sweating or shaking, your stomach churning and you would be running very, very fast to safety.

Faced with a charging bear this is a great response, but unfortunately it’s the same in everyday life: The Amygdala can stay in a heightened state of red alert and we can find ourselves reacting to everyday life circumstances and events (an argument, an unexpected bill, work stress, our own overthinking and catastrophising) as if we were in a similar life-threatening situation. The drip, drip, drip effect of chronic stress has primed our nervous system to be over-reactive. The more anxiety we experience, the more disproportionate the amygdala’s response.

The good news is that Hypnotherapy for anxiety and stress helps clients begin to step out of the endless loop of overthinking and anxiety. Hypnotherapy helps to reshape the structure and neural pathways of the brain in beneficial ways that help to calm the nervous system and enable clients, step by step, reduce anxiety and stress, regain control and increase their own resilience.
