How Does Hypnotherapy For Anxiety Help Me?

Yes, a lot of people ask me regarding hypnotherapy for anxiety, besides the usual depression, fear, phobias etc

Of course, some do ask about relationship or money patterns too but today is all about anxiety

Now of course there are different types of anxiety such as social anxiety or generalized anxiety disorder

And for the purpose of this article, anxiety will be used to refer to them as a collective

And naturally, I won’t be sharing so much about the other types but you can explore a bit in this other article I wrote about the conventional types of therapy for anxiety

So, what is anxiety?

Anxiety is an emotion which is characterized by an unpleasant state of inner turmoil and includes feelings of dread over anticipated events. – Wikipedia

So if those events are related to social events, then you get social anxiety, and if it is regarding exams, it could be a type of exam anxiety

Now here’s the thing about anxiety

When it becomes excessive, then yes we have a problem known as an anxiety disorder

However, when it is mild, such anxiety is considered pretty normal and ok

I define anxiety as the emotion that prepares us for future events

If you never been married before, then you might have some pre-marriage anxiety because you want to prepare for a wedding and ensure everything goes well

That makes sense and thus, it is perfectly fine to have some anxiety about it

If you are preparing for a speech or presentation, then you might have some anxiety before the event too

The problem is when after the event is over and you still have the anxiety, and keep thinking about the past event

Ok so that’s the quick rundown, so how does hypnotherapy for anxiety work?

How does hypnotherapy for anxiety work?

You see, each of our minds is uniquely constructed with all sorts of variations and different levels of intensity

This is largely due to our parents, how our family and cultural upbringing affects us, what we observe in the natural environment

This also means that our problem, in this case of anxiety, might be constructed in a way that is unique to us and thus, we require personalized treatment methods

Which is why following the “one size fits all” approach tends to create a long treatment process

So yes, even if you go for the traditional methods of hypnotherapy for anxiety, the traditional hypnotherapist might suggest a package of several sessions to work with you

I don’t do that

I use a modern hypnosis method for helping you to resolve your anxiety

With slight modifications as required, the hypnotherapy for anxiety will be much more effective and time-saving for you!

So why is Lee McKing Hypnotherapy effective?

Usually I will have a chat with you about your anxiety and other issues if any and this is to allow me to understand how your mind is constructed

And of course, to answer any questions you might have about hypnotherapy in general

After that you can go home and think about what I said

You see, because everyone has such unique constructs, I won’t be able to share all the possible variations

But here are some common constructs and the techniques that I will do

1. It was learnt from the parents

2. It was caused by the parents (or others) in a form of a trauma

This is also quite common

For such traumatic events, a hypnosis technique called a regression will be done to release and heal the event from the past

It is also known in NLP as Timeline therapy, hypnotic regression

Some might also call it inner child work

3. It takes on a shape and form

Sometimes, people refer to their anxiety as a “monster” and due to this, it can take on such a shape or form

Other times, the anxiety will be a symbol instead

Depending on what symbol it is, we have to adjust accordingly

This has probably the most variations compared to the above

In regards to resolving such unique symbols

Why does hypnotherapy for anxiety work well?

This is because we are all in some form of a trance most of the time

It is how our minds work in its natural state

It’s like if you have a broken computer, you will want to find a computer expert who knows the ins and outs to help you repair it

And you will expect it to be fast, because they are an expert

My modern style of hypnosis is effective because I aim to understand how your mind is working first, before we go about resolving the issue

Now to be fair, there are some cases where my clients didn’t believe or want to believe what I suggest about the treatment methods

Say they come with an anxiety and I isolated to a learning from the father

However they didn’t want to forgive the father

So then, will they be able to resolve their anxiety fully?

Unfortunately no, because they didn’t want to forgive the father for whatever reason

That is their choice

And of course, some people might come with other issues, anxiety with depression, or anxiety with phobia, etc

That’s where you need to have a good understanding of the mind and how things come into play

As well as why I don’t do hypnosis on the spot

I don’t know how your unique mind works yet!

Hypnosis is solution-focused therapy

Because hypnotherapy is a solution-focused approach to resolving issues, it is much more effective

One of the reasons why I can help people so fast is because I target the problem in the mind directly

Which relates to the above where I understand how your mind works first before we do the hypnosis

Our minds are powerful to be honest

It is such an amazing tool for change

And that’s the gist of why hypnotherapy for anxiety works well!
