Your chest feels tight or painful, there are pains in your stomach, you feel your heart palpitating, your head and face hurt, and maybe your neck and shoulders too. These are all too common signs of anxiety kicking in. Anxiety is not just in the head, it is not just about the way we think, it has a physical impact on the body too.
People experience anxiety in a number of different ways, including real physical symptoms. During moments of high anxiety, there can be painful or uncomfortable feelings in the body as well as things like:
- Dizziness
- Hot flashes
- The shakes
- Sinus problems
- Skin problems
- Loss of appetite
- Excessive sweating
- Dry mouth
- Repetitive body movements (stimming)
- Blurry vision
- Nausea
- Shortness of breath
- Light headedness
- Swollen glands
In fact, this list can be never-ending, as everyone experiences anxiety in a different way. There is no one-size-fits-all set of symptoms for anxiety. Everyone responds in their own unique way.
And that is why support for people with anxiety should be tuned to their own special needs. Everyone is unique in how the anxiety got there in the first place, and how manifests itself. So, although we use this generic term “anxiety”, support for people to help them get over their anxiety should be as unique as they are.
Hypnotherapy helps each individual find their own unique solution to their problem. A hypnotherapist will not help everyone in exactly the same way. They will help their client’s subconscious find its unique way of getting the anxiety under control, so that they can return to leading a normal life again.
Of course, a “normal life” is also unique to each individual person. A hypnotherapist will seek to allow their clients to get back to a life that is normal for them.
Hypnotherapy is not the only way to overcome anxiety, and of course, just as everyone is unique, so the help they seek should be best suited to them.
