ANXIETY

Hypnotherapy is increasingly recognized as an effective treatment for anxiety, with growing support from scientific research. Hypnotherapy can directly help you reduce anxiety on both a physical and emotional level. 

Research shows that hypnotherapy can significantly reduce anxiety symptoms by modulating the brain’s neural pathways associated with stress and fear, which in turn reduces the physiological responses associated with anxiety, such as increased heart rate and muscle tension. This process not only alleviates immediate anxiety symptoms but also promotes better emotional regulation over time. 

During the treatment, we will use hypnosis to directly affect the physical and physiological experience of anxiety, and at the same time we will seek to identify and changing maladaptive thoughts and behaviours. In this sense the work we will do will bring together effective hypnotherapy and elements of life coaching. Working on several levels at the same time, we will address the immediate body responses, and the thinking around your experience of feeling anxious, whether it is high anxiety or a more background experience. 

Hypnosis offers a neuropsychologically informed approach that integrates the mind and body, providing a holistic method for managing anxiety symptoms. As a result, hypnotherapy is increasingly considered a valuable, science-based tool in the broader landscape of mental health care.
