Overcome Anxiety With Hypnosis

Anxiety is a disorder that can negatively affect every aspect of a person’s life. A person who experiences anxiety may become panicked if a certain situation occurs. For example an individual who has anxiety about financial matters may experience a panic attack, stress and extreme worry if their car needs to be repaired or something breaks in the house. Someone who experiences anxiety at work may be looked over for promotions and raises.

Anxiety is fear and worry that can take control of a person’s life. An individual who has anxiety will learn to avoid certain situations that cause worry or panic. Some common anxieties are fear of social situations, fear of authority, fear of relationships and fear about money. Anxiety can lead to other mental disorders such as agoraphobia or obsessive compulsive disorder. Anxiety does not have to control your life, there is an effective way to overcome it.

Hypnosis is a proven method for overcoming anxiety. The process of hypnosis is rewarding, positive, safe and gentle. A person who has undergone hypnosis will not only overcome anxiety but will have more confidence, increased self esteem and a more positive perspective on life. Hypnosis calms the nerves, the mind and the whole body while alleviating the stress and anxiety that an individual may experience. Hypnosis is an amazing process that dips into the resources of the subconscious mind.

When a person undergoes hypnosis that person is placed in a deep state of relaxation. As the state of relaxation progresses the subconscious mind becomes receptive to positive suggestions, new ideas and different perspectives. An individual in hypnosis will receive motivational encouragement, confidence building statements and a direct plan for overcoming anxiety. The beliefs, behaviors and thinking patterns of the individual will change.

Through hypnosis an individual can visualize themselves free from anxiety. The individual is able to “feel” how wonderful life is without anxiety and this in of itself will have a profound affect.

If you want to overcome anxiety and lead a happier life then as a practicing hypnotherapist I recommend that you take advantage of the services of a qualified hypnotherapist in your area. Hypnosis is an experience that will allow you to live a richer and more rewarding life without anxiety stopping you from reaching your goals and aspirations.

Our Need For A Witness

My sister called, sounding like some sort of emergency was in progress. Turns out, she wants me to come help her decide how to arrange the furniture in her new kitchen. She and her husband just bought their first house and we helped them move in over the weekend.

Ok, I’m wondering before I go – what’s to decide? You have a kitchen table and 4 chairs and a jelly cupboard that Dad made for you, one corner of the room without cabinets, stoves or refridgerators…I’m confused about the confusion.

She needed a witness to her life.

Earlier, I had been discussing the movie “Shall We Dance?” with a friend. There’s a scene in that movie where Susan Sarandon’s character gives the best description I’ve ever heard of what you’re really promising when you take wedding vows. I’m really thankful I’d had that discussion just prior to my sister’s call, because I was able to be “present” and “mindful” and look a little deeper than I might have, normally, into what sounded like a silly request.

In summary, Susan Sarandon’s character explains that when you say, “I do”, what you’re really saying is that you will be a witness to the other person’s life, that you’ll be there to see the good, the bad, the ugly, the mundane – in short, you’ll be a witness to their life so that at the end of their life, they’ll know their life did not go unnoticed.

Of course, the writers of that movie script, and Susan’s delivery of it, are much more eloquent than I am being here, but you get the idea.

It strikes me that we all need a witness – more than one, sometimes. We all need to feel that our lives matter, that WE matter. That someone “notices” us and what’s important to us.

I love my sister, and I’m glad I was there to witness her excitement and trepidation over being a new homeowner. She really didn’t need help deciding where to put things – she needed to know that what mattered to her mattered to someone else – right then – no matter how mundane.

This confirms another suspicion I’ve had for quite some time: It’s not the “big” events in life from which we draw our sense of belonging, but rather the cumulative “little” moments along the way which too often go unnoticed.
