Anxiety

Anxiety, a pervasive and complex condition, transcends mere stress, presenting as a persistent sense of apprehension that can severely disrupt daily life. It manifests in various forms, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, and Specific Phobias, often exacerbated by modern life's pressures and societal expectations. The surge in anxiety cases is partly due to a decreasing stigma around mental health, encouraging more individuals to seek help. The impact of unchecked anxiety is profound, potentially hindering work, relationships, and overall well-being. However, hypnotherapy emerges as a promising intervention, offering a path to calm. As a hypnotherapist in Southampton, I employ this technique to guide clients into a deeply relaxed state, enabling direct communication with the subconscious mind. This process uncovers and addresses the root causes of anxiety, facilitating a profound transformation. Hypnotherapy not only induces relaxation but also embeds positive changes and coping mechanisms, empowering individuals to manage their anxiety, reclaim their lives, and navigate towards a state of peace and control.

This article provides an insightful perspective on the growing issue of social media-induced anxiety, particularly the obsession with accumulating likes. As a hypnotherapist I offer a balanced and practical approach, emphasising the importance of authentic self-worth and mindful engagement with digital platforms.

Do you feel as though you are stuck in a rut? Well, read on... I agree that most people are!

This week's blog is about how Christmas can bring about feelings of not being good enough... Of feeling low and how we feel the need to create the perfect Christmas.  

You are not alone and you are not at fault. 

Due you think that you are suffering from work place or work induced stress?  If you are unsure, read this week's article and have a look at the symptoms.

There are so many people that worry about the world we live in. From wars in distant (and not so distant) lands to which celebrity has done what with who... 

For some this type of worrying has become a way of life and their anxiety rises as they think and worry about every scenario... 

When you realise that there is nothing you can do, you worry less and life becomes one for living.

When my clients are in session with me, they sometimes ask "as a Hypnotherapist who specialism is in working with clients who have anxieties, do you actually know how I am feeling?"

This of course is a very relevant question - do I understand my clients condition and therefore their needs? Therefore, do I know how to treat them?  You may feel like you are on your own and no-one understands... anxiety is, unfortunately, as wide spread as it is self-limiting and I have worked with so many people that I can say that I do understand your condition enough to support your journey through treatment to it's conclusion.
