Anxiety Hypnosis- 7 Massive Benefits for You
By Susanna Sweeney, MSC, MBACP, CHT
This article is first in my series on anxiety hypnosis.
A good introduction to the subject- I thought would be to introduce you to the benefits of hypnosis for anxiety.
1. Save Your Precious Money
When
you use anxiety hypnosis, you can expect to have no more than a handful of
consultations with a hypnotherapist over the period of say, six months
or a year. Hypnosis tends to involve no more than a short term
commitment.
If you were to attend a psychotherapist for weekly
sessions, you would have to give it at least two years until you could
hope for any significant reduction of your symptoms. In fact, you would
be lucky if they did reduce because they don’t always. Not every
psychotherapist is trained to work with anxiety in a way that will
genuinely reduce symptoms.
(You can read more about the strength and limitations of doing this work with psychotherapy in my article on regression hypnosis.)
- Calculate for yourself, using your local rates that psychotherapists will charge, how much you would spend over a period of two years.
- Now calculate how much you would spend on 6 hypnotherapy sessions over the period of a year at your local rate. (Six sessions of anxiety hypnosis will, at the very least, result in a substantial reduction of symptoms.)
I guarantee you that,
though hypnotherapy can look expensive at first glance- when you look at
the per-session cost, it will offer you a substantial saving in the
overall picture. You can save your precious money when you do your work using anxiety hypnosis.
2. Save Precious Time
We only have this one life. Your time
on this planet is precious and you should be able to enjoy your life.
Experiencing anxiety can interfere greatly with your enjoyment, and
spending years in therapy or on medication can be real drudgery, too.
Anxiety
hypnosis is a fast and effective method for resolving anxiety. You can
reduce and eventually get rid of the anxiety symptoms altogether with
hypnosis. Why is this?
In my article on hypnosis for anxiety I talk about what is
required to heal anxiety. To cut a long story short, what needs to
happen is that changes are made at the actual site of the problem: Anxiety
is an issue that has arisen and is held in your subconscious mind. To
resolve it, you need to work with your subconscious mind.
Working
through the conscious mind (psychotherapy) might have some benefit, but it will be hit
and miss. Anxiety hypnosis targets the subconscious mind and will make
recovery much faster, simply by working at the source.
So, you can give yourself the gift of precious time by choosing anxiety hypnosis.
3. Improve Your Quality of Life With Anxiety Hypnosis
With anxiety hypnosis, your symptoms will reduce gradually and eventually you will be rid of them altogether.
Imagine having the freedom to:
- Think clearly
- To have dreams once again
- To make plans
- To live a full life
Ultimately
it’s all about improving your quality of life. It’s about genuinely
improving it, not somewhat, not partly, not half way. You CAN become
symptom free!
See here how social anxiety hypnosis helped my client Josephine improve her quality of life to become symptom free.
4. Go the Natural Route and Be Free
Anxiety
hypnosis allows you to go the natural route to free yourself from
anxiety- no chemicals are required here to make you better.
My
generation was brought up to try the natural route for health concerns
first before using medication. This was especially true when it came to
any emotional problems. These days, medication tends to be the first
port of call for many. Anxiety medication in particular is prescribed
widely.
If you tell your doctor you suffer from anxiety, they
won’t ask many questions. They have more patients to see and often no
time to have a chat to see what is best for you. Instead, more often
than not, they will reach for their prescription pad.
Did you
know that- for many medications, drug companies pay doctors a bonus on
every prescription? How do you think that impacts on what a doctor will
advise his patients?
I have spoken to many clients who used
anxiety medication. Very often the reports are that the medication is
not really solving the problem. Often, medication does not live up to
expectations.
Plus, as with any medical intervention, anxiety medication comes with both benefits and risks or disadvantages:
- All medications have side effects. (Make sure you read the leaflet.)
- If you are taking other medications, there may be drug interactions. (Discuss this with your doctor.)
- If the medication suppresses disturbing feelings, expect that it will also suppress other, more welcome feelings such as joy.
- Many people report not feeling ‘like themselves’ when on anxiety medication.
As
a psychotherapist I will say that anxiety medication has its place- for
times of severe crisis when you need something to stabilize your
symptoms.
As a hypnotherapist I will say, have a look at what hypnosis can do for you once your symptoms have stabilized and
you are out of crisis. For most people, anxiety is reversible. You can
reduce your symptoms using suggestion hypnosis and eventually get rid of
them altogether with regression hypnosis.
5. Freedom from Side Effects
Anxiety hypnosis- when done right, has no side effects.
I have already discussed the potential side effects of medication.
Now, let's look at other types of regression work:
- I have seen other types of regression work in action in my time, including Rebirthing and Holotropic Breathwork.
- Nowhere else have I seen regression work being able to laser target the source or origin of the issue in question.
- With other forms of regression work, I have sometimes seen people becoming very ungrounded and shook in the aftermath. They had a difficulty integrating what they had experienced. This does not happen with hypnosis.
Hypnosis is powerful yet gentle and safe- a rare mix which makes it a superior tool for shedding anxiety.
6. Change That is Here to Last
Anxiety hypnosis can do
something for you that medication and psychotherapy cannot- it can give
you lasting change- without long term dependency on any substance or
person. Use hypnotherapy for that change and dare to smile again.
Medication
suppresses the symptoms of anxiety. That’s if you are lucky enough for
the medication to work well. But suppressing symptoms is the idea behind
medication.
In other words, to suppress symptoms in the long
term, you would have to continue taking the medication. You would be
dependent on it.
If you came off it, the symptoms would return. Medication does not offer a cure for anxiety.
And psychotherapy? I have written in-depth about this in my article on regression hypnosis that I linked to above.
In
short, psychotherapy offers a holding space in a secure therapeutic
relationship. Sometimes anxiety symptoms decrease through
psychotherapy. Sometimes they don’t. But in any case, you would, in all
likelihood- never fully get to the bottom of the problem with
psychotherapy alone.
In my article on hypnosis therapy for anxiety, read about what anxiety is, why it develops, and how you can heal from it using anxiety hypnosis.
Hypnosis is the only form of therapeutic work I am aware of that can help you to free yourself from anxiety altogether.
7. Benefits for the Next Generation
How do you raise kids that are free from anxiety? Very difficult to do in today’s complex world.
Because
anxiety has so much to do with a lack of control in someone’s life, as a
parent you are well advised to let the kids have a good bit of control.
Of course giving the children control does not mean not setting any
boundaries. Healthy boundaries are important for kids for a sense of
their world being contained and in order.
But, in an age
appropriate way, you can give children control over certain choices.
Feeding on demand is one such way for the baby age group- it gives
babies an age appropriate choice where they can be in charge of their
own physiology- rather than being fed on a schedule, they can let you
know when they are hungry.
Children also love being physically
close to their parents or caregivers. They want to be close to you so
that they can let you know their needs. Being close to you gives them a
sense of control.
As they get older, you can let the kids make
other, age appropriate choices for themselves. This will help them
develop a sense of control along with the confidence that they can do
certain things for themselves, independently.
But here is another
thing you can do for your children so that they can grow up free from
anxiety. This is likely something that has not occurred to you before.
Even science is only beginning to catch on to this phenomenon.
And that phenomenon is that anxiety can be inherited.
- See this article here from Scientific American about a piece of research that found that fear was passed on from one generation of mice to the next!
- Another piece of research presented here in the Guardian shows the same phenomenon occurring in humans where trauma symptoms were passed on from Holocaust survivors to their children.
In other words, to raise anxiety free kids, doing your own work shedding your own anxiety will be a big help. And that is one more reason to use anxiety hypnosis.
