Hypnosis For Anxiety

The dictionary defines anxiety as the following:

“an abnormal and overwhelming sense of apprehension and fear often marked by physiological signs (as sweating, tension, and increased pulse)”

Sound familiar to you?  Don’t feel like you’re alone.  Most anyone that’s alive and breathing, suffers from some type of anxiety occasionally.  It’s natural and is actually healthy provided the anxiety doesn’t “consume” your life.

So how can self hypnosis help you deal with your particular anxiety?  Hypnosis helps you “re-program” your brain.  And before you start thinking, “I don’t want anyone or anything re-programming my brain”, just hear me out.

I think of it this way, your mind/brain can be divided into two distinct parts.  Your conscious, analytical, logical part which I refer to as the “traffic cop”.  This part of your brain helps you decide what clothes to wear today or what kind of food you’re going to have with dinner.  During your normal, waking part of the day, this is the decision-making section of the brain.

And then there is the subconscious part.  The subconscious is the section we focus on with hypnosis.  This is the area where habits become “engrained” in you.  “Imagination” & “feelings” come from the subconscious.  All your body functions that you don’t have to think about, (breathing, heart beat, blinking eyes, etc), come from this area of the brain.  The subconscious can be thought of as a computer.  All it knows is what you type into it.  It doesn’t distinguish between right or wrong, good or bad.  That is what the traffic cop is for.

Anxiety is typically caused by something you experienced in the past or perhaps something that someone told you.  Say someone tells you about the horrifying experience they had during a hurricane.  As they tell you the story, you “imagine” how awful that must have been and in your mind, you’re re-creating your own experience of what that might have been like.  The howling winds, glass breaking, waves crashing in, torrential rains.  It sends a chill up your spine as you feel like it actually happened to you.

Now, the logical part of your brain knows that didn’t happen to you, but when this person told you the story, you actually became hypnotized.  You were so focused on what was said and creating your own images and events in your mind, that the “traffic cop”, (the part that knows this didn’t really happen), gets bypassed.  Now, every time you hear about a hurricane, it frightens you.  You don’t want to go to the coast because you’re worried about a hurricane.  You re-live those images that you created from the story your friend told you.  Logically you think it’s silly for you to be scared…you’re 1000 miles away from the coast!  But still, you can’t shake those feelings.

With hypnosis, you’re able to bypass that traffic cop again and change those stressful and anxious feelings.  You re-program your subconscious and show it how illogical it is to be afraid of a hurricane, (or anything else).  Hypnosis is a way to speak directly to that “computer-like” subconscious without the traffic cop filtering out the data you’re feeding it.

Self hypnosis is a fabulous tool helping you to overcome anxiety and stress.  Give it a try and I promise you won’t be disappointed!
