Permanent peace
In just 3- 6 sessions hypnotherapy dramatically changes the automatic ways
we respond to stressors, and rapidly improves our ability to remain relaxed
and in control. As a result stress and anxiety are permanently undermined,
and anxiety disorders dissipate for good.
The Stress Response:
- When we experience stress our bodies are being subconsciously triggered
to respond.
- The body causes hormones such as adrenaline to be released so that our systems are put on what we might call ‘high alert’... ready for ‘fight or flight’.
- These hormones generate many changes around the body such as increased heart rate, blood pressure and breathing rate.
- Our leg muscles may feel like jelly as they are primed for a quick getaway.
- Our brains ‘feel stressed’ as they are prepared for very quick action and acute awareness.
Designed to help
- These responses are designed to save us in the best way possible when
under threat e.g., in the jungle but can feel most confusing and unpleasant
in response to e.g., an ‘order’ from the boss.
- The body will continue to respond like this for as long as you experience such stressors.
Automatic 'choices'
- How your mind automatically responds to these physical symptoms
is very important. It can interpret them in many ways; from feeling excited...
a challenge to come up with a diplomatic or even witty response... to dread
and panic at being trapped in an impossible and tortuous situation. ...”
- After long periods exposed to stressors, and the effects of our own hormones, the body becomes exhausted and a state of continuing anxiety is reached.
Restored Responses
- Hypnotherapy stops the 'stress response' from being automatically triggered
and enables you to control your response to accommodate, and even enjoy,
the challenges that life inevitably generates.
Anxiety Disorders:

anxiety being clearly present in each:

To Remove Anxiety with Hypnotherapy:
...for generalised anxiety and acute stress...
- You will learn controlled relaxation (how you can call on a relaxed state of mind whenever you need it)
- Discover any negative or distorted thoughts that may be operating subconsciously, in the background, and resolve them in discussion and under hypnosis. (remove the subconscious triggers for your anxiety)
- Discover your own powerful, inner resources for becoming relaxed and centred (enable a more relaxed way of responding to the world around you)
- In hypnosis you can replay stressful situations visually while viewing them from an emotional state of calm well-being. (in a relaxed state things look very different and these insights can be taken away with you)
- Work deeply on implanting powerful thoughts of self-confidence at the deepest level of your thinking. (empower yourself to take on any challenges you need to, in a strong and positive way)
