A road to peace
Hypnotherapy can rapidly improve the automatic ways
in which we respond to stressors. It can also dramatically improve our ability
to remain relaxed and in control. As a result, anxiety and stress can be powerfully
undermined, so that anxiety disorders can dissipate for good.
The Stress Response:
- When we get stressed our bodies are subconsciously triggered to respond.
- The body releases hormones such as adrenaline so our systems are put on what we call ‘high alert’ - ready for ‘fight flight or freeze’.
- These hormones generate lots of changes around the body such as increased breathing rate, heart rate and blood pressure.
- The leg muscles can feel like jelly as they are primed for a fast getaway.
- Our brains ‘feel stressed’ as they prepare for acute awareness and rapid action
Designed to help
- These responses are fantastic at saving us in the best way possible when
under genuine threat (escaping a predator in the jungle) but are most unpleasant
and confusing when we experience them in everyday life (a comment from the
boss).
- The body continues to respond like this for as long as you keep on experiencing the stressors.
Automatic 'choices'
- The way your mind automatically responds to such physical symptoms
is the most important thing. It may interpret them in many different ways;
from feeling excitement... finding it a challenge to give a diplomatic or
even witty response... to panic and dread at feeling trapped in a painful
and impossible situation. ...”
- After long periods exposed to stress, and the effects of our own stress hormones, the body may become exhausted and a state of continuing anxiety can be reached.
Restored Responses
- I could train you in techniques which can prevent the full 'stress response' from automatically occurring. Therefore enabling you to control your hormone response, ultimately to accommodate,
and even enjoy, the challenges that life inevitably generates.
Anxiety Disorders:
Anxiety disorders are divided into six diagnosable categories with feelings
of anxiety being clearly present in each:
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder
- Acute Stress Disorder
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Phobia
- Panic Disorder

People often suffer from more than one of these at the same time. Please

To Remove Anxiety with Hypnotherapy:
...for generalised anxiety and acute stress...
- You will learn controlled relaxation (how you can create a relaxed state of mind whenever you need it, thereby over-writing the feelings of stress or anxiety with very pleasant feelings)
- Discover if you have any distorted or negative thoughts that are operating in the background, and resolve them if needed. (removing any subconscious triggers to your anxiety)
- Discover your own powerful, inner resources for being relaxed and centred (showing you a more controlled and relaxed way of responding to the world around you)
- In hypnosis you can practice situations while experiencing them from a calm emotional state. (in this relaxed state things look very different and these insights can be taken away with you)
- At your deepest level of thinking you can implant powerful thoughts of self-confidence. (empower yourself to meet any challenges you need to, in a confident and positive way)
