Relief for Anxiety & Stress

Everyone will experience feelings of anxiety and worry many times throughout their lives. For example, you may feel worried or anxious about a job interview, getting the results from a medical test, financial issues, or even getting married. Feelings of worry and anxiety are perfectly normal reactions to the daily pressures of life, especially when you have a sense of strong stress management skills. However, for some people, these feelings of worry or anxiety can become intrusive and may begin to affect them on a daily basis, making the idea of asking for help with anxiety nearly impossible.

NHS Direct estimates that approximately 1 in 50 people will suffer from a generalized anxiety disorder at some point. This condition is most likely to occur to people in their 20s, and it affects more women than men. It is a long-term condition that can make you feel anxious about a very wide range of issues. You may find that you are anxious most days and may not be able to remember the last time you were able to properly relax.

There are many diagnosable conditions for which anxiety is the main symptom — for example, panic disorder, phobias, post-traumatic syndrome, and generalized anxiety disorder. Some people experience “panic attacks,” which are a frightening experience.

How Meditation and Hypnotherapy Can Help

You don’t have to deal with anxiety on your own — leave it to Dr. Rosenberg for professional services and expert help with anxiety. If you are suffering from mild anxiety that is related to a specific upcoming event, hypnosis and suggestion therapy could enable you to reduce your worry or anxiety and let you feel more in control. Hypnosis can provide you with a greater sense of self, boost self-confidence and esteem, and help you build on your belief in yourself. From hypnosis, you can create a strong visual image of yourself being calm and self-assured in your upcoming event.

An added bonus is that hypnosis is wonderfully relaxing and reduces stress levels through effective stress management strategies. IAPH therapists have substantial experience in helping people to reduce their worries and anxieties in relation to specific events, and you would need just one session a week or two before the event in question.
