Anxiety Hypnotherapy in Nottingham
As a leading Hypnotherapy Clinic in Nottinghamshire we know that at least fifty percent of our clients will suffer from anxiety in some form. Even though the people suffering from anxiety are distressed by the feelings of panic and unease we know that anxiety can be easily managed with professional help. Here are just some of the techniques and strategies we use with our clients to help them feel more in control over their problem.
Relaxation – The number one way to start combating anxiety is to learn to relax. That means taking time out and clearing your schedule so you have time to yourself. We know that many of our clients have hectic lifestyles that need to be managed in order to bring the anxiety back under control.
Self Hypnosis – We teach all our clients self hypnosis as a standard. This is not just relaxed but a very deep and concentrated state of calm. When this is practiced daily it can have a significant impact on anxiety. We tell all our clients to expect to use this technique for a month before significant changes are seen. That said some of our clients may see changes after only a few days. To make this easier for our clients we give them an Overcome Anxiety audio to use inbetween their sessions.
Sleep – Getting a good nights rest is so important when you are feeling anxious and stressed. We recommend that all our clients aim for eight hours rest in the evening. Listening to our self hypnosis recording before going to bed can help to switch off an anxious mind.
Lifestyle Changes – If you are burning the candle at both ends and drinking, smoking and using too much caffeine then start to alter your habits. Too much of these substances can fuel panic and anxiety.
Breathing – When our clients feel their anxiety or panic start to rise then we recommend that they use breathing techniques to reduce these feelings. We recommend diaphragmatic breathing but any slow steady calm deep breathing can help to manage the panic and anxiety.
Acceptance – Many people have a natural instinct that makes them want to fight against the anxiety which only makes it worse and increases the feels of panic. We like to think of the anxiety as a part of you that is warning you of stress or danger. The problem is that the part is not great at communicating exactly what that problem is so it gives you the horrible feelings to make you flee the problem. Instead of running make friends with your anxiety and understand that it is trying to give you a message. Sit down breath deeply and begin to work out where the stress is in your life that is creating the problem. Remember the anxiety cannot harm you so accept it and it will pass.
Distraction – Another great method of helping to reduce anxious feelings is to distract yourself by doing something else. That means bake a cake, play a computer game, go out with your friends. When you are distracted your mind does not have time to concentrate on the feelings of unease.
Mindfulness – When people suffer from anxiety they tend to focus on every single physical sensation in their body. This hyper awareness makes them concentrate on every heart beat, every itch, pain or feeling in their body as a signal that something is wrong. These feelings are of course very normal feelings which an average person would simply ignore. When we teach mindfulness for anxiety we help you concentrate on external issues rather than internal. By doing this it is possible to control the physical sensations that are creating the problem.
Root Cause – The problem with anxiety and your inner bodyguard is that often it is not immediately clear exactly what the stressor is that is creating the problem. This is where a skilled hypnotherapy practitioner can make a difference. Under hypnosis it is often possible to retrieve information from the mind that is not immediately obvious. Our anxiety hypnotherapy in Nottingham uses a number of techniques to help our clients identify where their problem lies so that we can attack the issue from the root. This can help to collapse the problem so that it does not create such an impact on their life.
