I treat anxiety, overwhelm and panic attacks with hypnotherapy, EFT, EMDR, BWRT, coaching and a blend of other therapies to remove the problem.
Anxiety, overwhelm and stress are things all of us have experienced at some point. In short bursts, stress can even be a useful motivator that helps us do our best. Hypnotherapy can help by identifying the root cause of your anxiety and helping you make sense of whatever happened to create it.
Hypnotherapy for panic and anxiety attacks is particularly effective at breaking the association with the triggering event, so it no longer bothers you and you can take control and get on with life normally.
How many sessions will I need?
Each person is as unique as the cause of their issue, so the number of sessions varies. Ultimately it comes down to your openness to the process — and we will know right away if this kind of work is for you.
What causes anxiety?
Anxiety is an expression of fear caused by a subconscious assessment of danger. Whether that danger is real, imagined or irrational does not matter — something in the environment triggered the anxious response.
What is stress?
Stress is the body’s normal response to a perceived threat. As part of our evolution we developed the fight, flight or freeze response. We are no longer threatened by sabre-tooth tigers, but our nervous system still reacts the same way to modern pressures like work deadlines and traffic jams.
What is overwhelm or a panic attack?
Overwhelm and panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear or panic. They are quite common, can be a symptom in their own right or part of another condition, and happen when the body reaches such a high level of anxiety that we experience severe symptoms.
What are the main symptoms?
Anxiety symptoms fall into three areas — physical, emotional and behavioural. For example: headaches, chest pains, hyperventilation, dry mouth, irritability, distress, difficulty concentrating, insomnia and poor sleep. Symptoms can present differently for different people.
