5 ways Hypnosis can help you conquer Anxiety

Hypnosis can help with anxiety in many ways.

1.Systematic relaxation.
What’s is unique about hypnosis that it really helps the client to relax. To calm their nervous system.
The sympathetic nervous system is what’s gets us anxious, the parasympathetic is what calms us back down. I
 still find it amazing seeing a client  learning to control their anxiety. Sometimes a client will say " I haven't relaxed like that in years" Even after taking medication or attending relaxation classes, Hypnosis uses deepners help your nervous system stand down. 
So by using deep breathing, visualisation, positive suggestions you are helped to activate the parasympathetic. Often reaching very deep states of calmness. Training your amygdala to switch off.Talking therapy can be very helpful.but often not enough. So using practical solution focused amygdala desensitisation techniques along with talking therapy,creates much better results.
Of course we need some anxiety and stress in life, to keep us Sharpe. But when it becomes toxic. Its counterproductive. And what we practice get better at.

2.Suggestions Therapy
So as we relax we are more ready to except new positive suggestions. It’s easier to challenge old toxic negative thoughts. This is similar to cognitive therapy CBT. But sometimes with CBT clients can see how to change how they think, but not always how they feel. Hypnosis works on both levels. How we speak to ourselves is so important. We need to be mindful of our internal dialog. How we think can become our reality.

Revivification
In trance you can emotionally relieve a happy memory. Thus releasing happy hormones. Changing how you feel. Then future pacing the feeling. Seeing yourself in the future with this calm, confident feelings/thoughts.
This is a technique I use a lot with great success. Clients often love this technique the most. It can help you  to FEEL good so quickly. So for someone  who has been suffering from anxiety , being able to relax and feel good is so important for them. Powerful state management technique.
Negative revivification can help you identify and change subconscious programs.

Solution focused
Get in touch with your. inner resources. Amplify them. Help you to become solution focused. Instead of focusing on the problem. And of course being more relaxed helps a great deal. Being solution focused as opposed to being problem focused actually changes how your brain works.

I still find it amazing seeing a client  learning to control their anxiety. Sometimes a client will say " I haven't relaxed like that in years" Even after taking medication or attending relaxation classes, Hypnosis uses Deepeners to help your nervous system stand down. The Elman induction is a great way to a achieve this, Then that state is anchored and the subconscious is trained to apply this state in any situation that is required. Of course other helpful states can also be accessed eg ,confidence ,motivation ,belief ,etc.. Remember what your mind has created your mind can undo. Neuro science has shown that are minds are most plastic then we though, so were always learning all through our lives. Hypnosis helps open that gateway

Hypno- analysis [psychoanalysis]
Using hypnosis to regress back to memories and events that shape our present beliefs and feelings.
Sometimes events of our past haven't been properly or fully worked through. Sometimes called the frozen present. Theses events in our past can be running negative programmes in our subconscious mind. For some reason we just cant shake a belief or feeling about ourselves. Even though logically we know they aren't true. So by accessing and re-framing these events with the wisdom of now, the past subconscious programmes are identified and let behind. If you can see it, you don't have to be it. We can carry these feelings around for years. But once given the chance ,we can let go of them as quick as they came.
