When Anxiety Starts Controlling Your Decisions

Anxiety often becomes particularly disruptive when life starts being organised around preventing it.

You may:

Avoid:

Certain:

Situations.

Seek:

Reassurance.

Overprepare.

Overanalyse.

Check:

How:

You're:

Feeling.

Or:

Constantly:

Try:

To:

Predict:

What:

Could:

Go:

Wrong.

This can create a cycle:

Anxiety → Avoidance → Temporary Relief → More Fear Next Time

The more your life becomes organised around anxiety, the more important anxiety can begin to feel.

Anxiety Hypnosis Isn't About Becoming Fearless

The goal isn't to remove every trace of anxiety.

Some anxiety is:

Normal.

Human.

And:

Protective.

The goal is to become less controlled by unnecessary anxiety.

Instead of:

“I can't do this because I feel anxious.”

You can begin developing:

“I may feel anxious — and I can still handle this.”

That distinction can be powerful.

What Can Anxiety Hypnotherapy Focus On?

Depending on your individual situation, hypnotherapy may provide complementary support around patterns associated with:

• General anxiety and excessive worry

• Panic and fear of panic

• Anxiety about anxiety

• Social anxiety

• Overthinking and rumination

• Stress and feeling overwhelmed

• Fear of judgement

• Physical tension associated with anxiety

• Anticipatory anxiety

• Confidence affected by anxiety

• Avoidance of feared situations

• Difficulty tolerating uncertainty

• Repetitive “what if?” thinking

How Does Anxiety Hypnosis Work?

Hypnosis can involve focused attention, imagination and therapeutic suggestion.

Rather than endlessly debating with anxiety, hypnosis may be used to rehearse different responses.

For example:

Feeling:

Anxiety:

Without:

Immediately:

Escaping.

Experiencing:

Uncertainty:

Without:

Demanding:

An:

Answer.

Noticing:

A:

Sensation:

Without:

Automatically:

Assuming:

Danger.

Facing:

A:

Situation:

Without:

Waiting:

To:

Feel:

100%:

Confident.

This can help shift the objective from:

“How do I guarantee I won't feel anxious?”

Towards:

“How do I trust myself to cope whether anxiety appears or not?”

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Hypnosis Help with Anxiety?

Hypnotherapy may provide complementary support for anxiety by working with focused attention, suggestion, relaxation and habitual responses associated with anxious thinking and behaviour.

Results vary between individuals.

How Quickly Will Anxiety Hypnosis Work?

There isn't an ethical way to guarantee exactly how quickly an individual will respond.

Anxiety can have different causes, patterns and levels of severity, so treatment should be considered individually.

Can Hypnosis Help If I've Had Anxiety for Years?

Having experienced anxiety for a long time doesn't automatically mean you cannot develop different responses to it.

Long-standing or severe anxiety should also be appropriately assessed and treated through suitable healthcare where required.

Does Hypnotherapy Replace Psychological or Medical Treatment?

No.

Hypnotherapy should complement rather than replace appropriate medical or psychological care.

If anxiety is severe, persistent, worsening or significantly affecting your everyday functioning, speak with your GP or an appropriate mental-health professional.

New, severe or unexplained physical symptoms should also be medically assessed.
