Anxiety can become more intense when you start fearing the anxiety itself. You may notice a small sensation, then worry that it will become a panic attack. You may avoid certain places, check your body constantly or feel anxious simply because you remember how bad anxiety felt before.

This remove anxiety of anxiety hypnosis is designed to help you practise a calmer response to that secondary fear. It is not about removing every anxious feeling or pretending that you should never feel fear. It is about reducing the struggle that can make anxiety feel bigger and more powerful.

Ease the fear of feeling anxious

Anxiety can create a cycle: you notice a sensation, you fear what it means, your body becomes more alert, and the sensations increase. The mind may then take this as proof that something is wrong.

This guided hypnosis may help you create a pause in that cycle. You can practise noticing sensations and thoughts without immediately treating them as a warning that panic or disaster is about to happen.

You may use this recording to support:

• Reducing anxiety about anxiety sensations

• Feeling less afraid of panic attacks

• Letting go of constant body monitoring

• Building confidence in your ability to cope

• Reducing avoidance of places or situations

• Feeling calmer when your heart races or your breathing changes

• Returning attention to the present moment

You do not need to be perfectly calm to be safe or capable. You can allow a feeling to rise and fall while choosing your next step with more patience.

Do not listen while driving, cycling, operating machinery or doing anything that requires your full attention.

Anxiety support with medical safety

Hypnosis may support relaxation and self-reflection, but it cannot diagnose the cause of physical symptoms or guarantee that anxiety will disappear.

Do not assume new, severe, worsening or unexplained symptoms are caused by anxiety. Seek medical advice if you are concerned. If you experience severe chest pain, severe shortness of breath, fainting or need urgent medical help in Australia, call Triple Zero (000).

If anxiety, panic attacks or fear of anxiety is persistent or affecting your sleep, work, relationships or ability to leave home, speak with a GP, psychologist or psychiatrist.

Frequently asked questions

Can hypnosis remove anxiety of anxiety?

Hypnosis cannot guarantee that anxiety will be removed. It may help some people practise relaxation and respond to anxiety sensations with less fear. Individual experiences vary.

Why am I anxious about feeling anxious?

When anxiety has felt intense or frightening in the past, the mind may begin watching for signs that it could happen again. This extra vigilance can make ordinary sensations feel more alarming.

Can I listen during a panic attack?

Use the recording only when you are in a safe place and do not need to remain alert. If symptoms could be medical, are unfamiliar or feel unsafe, seek medical help rather than relying on a recording.

Can I book a private session?

Yes. Private sessions are tailored to your individual goals, experiences and pace.
