Anxiety
Tired of anxiety getting in the way and ruling your day to day life? Does your mind refuse to stop and the pressure never lets up? If anxiety is affecting your thoughts, energy and confidence hypnotherapy offers a rare space to reset and quite the noise, sharpen your focus and lead from a place of calm and control.
“Anxiety can show up in many different ways, affecting both your mind and body. It might feel like constant worry, racing or repetitive thoughts, or physical symptoms like a racy pounding heart, tight chest, or shaky hands. For some, it includes struggles with OCD, PTSD, or feeling completely frozen and unable to speak in social situations or public speaking.
No matter how anxiety appears for you, these feelings can be overwhelming and isolating. But the good news is, you don’t have to face them alone — and there are effective ways to regain control and confidence”
How does anxiety actually work in the brain?
Anxiety is your body's natural response to perceived danger – even when there's no real threat. Deep in the brain, the amygdala acts like an alarm system. When it senses something stressful, it triggers the fight, flight or freeze response through the nervous system, causing symptoms like a racing heart, shallow breathing, or a tight chest.
Sometimes this stress response gets stuck in the “on” position leading your brain and your body to react as if you are in danger – even when you're perfectly safe. Hypnotherapy helps quite the alarm system, retrain the brains response to stress, bring the body back into a calm balance.
