Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is often described as "fear spread thinly"
Most of us experience mild anxiety when faced with situations we
perceive to be stressful such as public speaking. However anxiety
disorders are severe and can disrupt the day-to-day life of an
individual. As in the case of fears and phobias, recognising how
irrational our anxiety or panic is, does not lighten the burden of
living with it. These feelings are further compounded by the fear of
not being in control.
Individuals suffering from an anxiety disorder may avoid certain
situations because they fear their anxiety may be triggered. This is
often described as developing “a fear of the fear itself”. People
often experience problems achieving potential job opportunities or
in developing personal relationships.
Individuals suffering from generalised anxiety disorder often
irrationally anticipate tragedy. They will constantly worry about
family, money, health and perhaps even about how to get through each
day.
Panic disorder is characterised by terror, which strikes suddenly
without warning. Panic attacks are a common symptom of panic
disorder, but not everyone who has a panic attack will develop panic
disorder.
Social anxiety disorder is defined by extreme anxiety and discomfort
in social situations. According to some research, social anxiety
(also known as social phobia) is the third most common psychiatric
disorder after depression and alcoholism. Fear of being around other
people, having to interact with them and being judged negatively by
them are the common signs of social anxiety.
Agoraphobia (the fear of open spaces, crowds, public places and/or
travelling alone) is another severe form of anxiety.
Panic Attacks
Symptoms of a panic attack can be so severe that those suffering
often believe they are having a heart attack or suffering from
another life threatening illness. Research indicates random panic
attacks are brought on by our own ‘fight or flight’ response.
Since prehistoric times this fight or flight response, has been our
in built alarm system. If it alerted us to a danger level beyond our
defensive abilities, we simply fled the scene. In the modern world
most of the time we can rationalise there is no real threat to our
safety from everyday situations such as public speaking or flying.
However when the false alarm still continues to sound this causes
significant mind and body reactions.
Fear of when the next attack will occur causes persistent worrying
and intense anxiety between attacks, i.e. fear of the fear itself.
Panic attacks can seriously limit the way a person lives their life
as they attempt to avoid situations that trigger the attack. This
vicious circle of negativity can fuel the development of other
problems such as agoraphobia, and various social phobias.
Where does the anxiety or panic come from?
Some theories suggest people suffering from anxiety are predisposed
to a number of contributing factors, such as chemical imbalances in
the brain, genetics and perhaps personality type. In fact many
medications are known to create anxiety as a side effect but any
decision to refrain from these should first be discussed with an
individual’s GP.
It is now widely believed though that life experiences such as
isolated traumatic events, and long term exposure to abuse,
violence, drugs or poverty are at the core of anxiety and panic
attacks.
How many sessions will I require?
Everybody has different issues to be resolved and therefore no two
clients will have the exact same outcomes. Generally though
treatments will involve anywhere between 2-4 sessions with almost
all clients reporting a vast improvement in their condition after
just one visit!
So what’s the solution?
Through hypnotherapy offending triggers can be removed to enable the
client to take back control of their life. We seek out and identify
the root cause of the anxiety, and then change an individual’s
perception of a past event. Once the emotion involved in these past
experiences has been released the client is freed from the anxiety
or panic. The emotion was the driving force for the fear and once
the client understands this, the anxiety no longer has a driving
force!
None of us were born with anxiety, panic, fears or phobias so:
Anything that can be learned can be unlearned!!!

- Testimonial
- “My anxiety attacks were ruining my life. I never thought of
going to a hypnotherapist until things got really bad at work. I was
ringing in sick and shaking out or crying at the thought of dealing
with certain people. I was avoiding any situation where there might
be confrontation. My relationship with my partner was strained
because I was leaning on him all the time. When I did gather the
courage to attend hypnotherapy, I was thrilled with how well it
worked out for me. I’m in a new job now and my confidence is sky
high.”
