Diving into Hypnosis for Anxiety Transformation
Once our conversation concludes, we venture into hypnosis or ‘trance.’
This is where the magic happens. Picture it as a guided daydream, where you remain in control. It’s an enjoyable experience that allows you to disconnect from your ‘anxiety state’ and pave the way for positive change.
In this state, we ask you to imagine specific scenarios, creating a hyper-relaxed state of focus. This engagement with your subconscious brain hardwires the changes we’ve discussed.
It’s akin to flipping a switch, temporarily silencing the ‘anxiety state or fight-or-flight’ response, and giving you the freedom to consider alternative responses.
Over time, these positive suggestions help you build new, constructive neural pathways. This is the foundation for thinking and behaving more positively.
But remember, lasting change requires practice and repetition. Multiple hypnotherapy sessions are often needed to bring about the transformation you seek.
Living with anxiety can be an arduous journey, but it’s one where change is not just possible – it’s achievable. If you’re ready to overcome your anxiety, I’m here to guide you on this path.
