Do you live under an everyday cloud of anxiety, but don’t want to use drugs to help you cope with it? Believe me, you are not the only one. A lot of my clients come to my hypnotherapy clinic telling me that their doctor has suggested that they start taking medication to calm their anxiety. They don’t want to take medication and so are looking for an alternative.
Don’t get me wrong. I am not anti-medication. For some people medication is a good solution to anxiety. However, there are many people who don’t want to get into the habit of taking anti-anxiety medication, or they have tried it and it doesn’t do much for them.
Anti-anxiety medication is designed to rebalance the chemicals in the brain, so that the area that creates the anxiety calms down a bit. This is also possible using hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy For Anxiety
Hypnotherapy is not like you see in the movies or on the stage. I cannot snap my fingers and make you change. What I can do is to help your brain create the right conditions to make changes. Very few people find themselves empty of anxiety after one or two sessions. It takes a bit of time. Typically, I see people for between five and ten sessions (although I cannot provide any guarantees).
Once the anxiety has gone, or at least massively reduced, I have a conversation with my client. I ask, “Are you ready to do this on your own now?” and we come to an agreement as to when to finish.
Many of my clients ask me, “Would it be okay if I come back if it gets bad again?” Of course, I always say, “Yes”, but hardly anyone ever does.
And Finally …
If you want to tackle your anxiety issues without resorting to medication, then you may like to consider hypnotherapy. You can Contact Me if you would like a free phone consultation to help you decide. I work out of my clinic in Fleet, Hampshire and also online.
