Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) Brisbane

1. How does hypnotherapy help with GAD?

GAD comes from a subconscious belief that something bad might happen unless you stay alert.
Clive’s hypnotherapy teaches your mind that you are safe, helping you relax deeply, reduce worry, and stop overthinking.

2. Why do I worry about everything, even small things?

Because your subconscious is stuck in protection mode.
Hypnosis retrains this pattern so your mind stops scanning for danger and stays calm.

3. Can hypnotherapy help with constant overthinking?

Absolutely.
Hypnosis quiets mental chatter, reduces looping thoughts, and brings your mind back into a peaceful, grounded state.

4. Can hypnotherapy help with physical symptoms like tension, restlessness, or tight chest?

Yes.
Hypnosis calms the nervous system, reducing the physical stress responses that come with chronic worry.

5. Why do I wake up already anxious?

GAD often activates during sleep.
Hypnosis helps reset your nighttime and morning emotional patterns so you wake calmer.

6. Can hypnotherapy help with worst-case thinking?

Definitely.
Hypnosis helps your mind shift from catastrophising into clarity, confidence, and balance.

This is common with GAD.
Hypnosis addresses the subconscious patterns behind the emotion so you don’t need to identify a cause to find relief.

11. What if I worry about my health, future, work, relationships — everything?

This is classic GAD.
Hypnosis helps reorganise your subconscious so your mind stops defaulting to fear.

12. Can hypnotherapy help with difficulty concentrating or feeling mentally overloaded?

Yes.
With a calmer mind, focus naturally becomes sharper and easier.

13. Can hypnotherapy help me sleep better if I have GAD?

Definitely.
Hypnosis reduces nighttime anxiety, racing thoughts, and over-alertness, helping you fall asleep and stay asleep.

GAD is a pattern, and patterns can be changed.
Hypnosis works at the subconscious level where the pattern was created.

17. Will I be judged for having anxiety?

Never.
Clive offers a safe, compassionate, respectful space where everything you feel is valid and understood.

18. Does online hypnotherapy work well for GAD?

Yes — often even better.
Being at home helps you relax deeper, allowing stronger subconscious changes.

19. How quickly can hypnosis help with GAD symptoms?
