    Can Hypnotherapy Cure Anxiety?

    Man

    Sure, I could probably make a few extra quid if I promised to completely cure people of their anxiety but I’m not full of S.H.I.T

    I cannot cure you. I do not claim to cure you of anxiety.

    From what I see, the therapists who do claim to cure their clients don’t consider what will happen the next time life goes a little bit pear shaped…

    I speak from experience when I say that anxiety will return with a vengeance if not properly treated.

    What I can do is be realistic with you. I work with you to develop tools, techniques and brain hacks to retrain your anxiety response, meaning no matter what life throws at you in the future, you’re prepared to shoo the anxieties away before they become a permanent fixture all over again.

    Treating anxiety requires structure and process and a little bit of effort..but being able to live the rest of your life anxiety free is worth the effort, right?

    Is Being Hypnotized Dangerous To Your Mental Health?

    Some people feel vulnerable, but it’s mainly a question of how you perceive the hypnotist.

    If you’re told something will happen to you under hypnosis and don’t believe in it, then that won’t happen.

    There are risks involved with everything we do, so it’s best to know what they are beforehand and be aware of them instead of just going into things blindly.

    It should always be your choice whether or not to undergo these methods of healing, and if you do decide on this path for yourself personally then make sure to trust the therapist intensely – both before being put under, and afterwards when coming out.

    How Effective Is Hypnosis For Social Anxiety?

    Relax Man

    Hypnosis has helped many people with social anxiety, but it is not a cure-all treatment. In some cases, just knowing that hypnotherapy may be available can help individuals with social anxiety feel less alone and isolated.

    The outcomes of any therapeutic effort depend on the needs and wishes of the individual at this particular point in his or her life; not to mention personal idiosyncrasies.

    I would suggest reaching out about hypnotherapy (link to consultation).

    Is It Possible To Hypnotize Ourselves To Cure Anxiety?

    You can definitely take some steps to help relieve the symptoms of your anxiety.

    These are:

    1. Find a quiet place to relax and sit comfortably.
    2. Take a few minutes to breathe slowly and deeply.
    3. Picture yourself in a place that brings where you feel completely at ease.
    4. Engage with all of your sense’s and ground yourself in your new environment.
    5. Focus on an affirmation you feel you need at this moment.

    Do Beta-blockers Help Relieve Anxiety?

    Not every person with anxiety responds well to beta-blockers. It’s best used for short-term anxiety and not as much for long-term treatment.

    Beta-blockers can help manage anxiety symptoms for some people, though it is not a viable long-term treatment option.

    What Are Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI's)

    Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that carries signals between nerves in the brain. This chemical has been linked to mood, sleep quality, and emotions.

    SSRIs work by blocking serotonin reuptake, which in turn leads to a more prolonged period of communication between nerve cells and therefore alleviates symptoms associated with depression or eventual anxiety disorders.

    Common side effects of SSRIs can include:

    • Blurry Vision
    • Disoriented
    • Nausea
    • Feeling increasingly anxious
    • Can lower your sex drive

    Is Medication A Good Thing For Anxiety?

    Some people in need of medical intervention for severe anxiety turn to anti-anxiety medication, but it is still often better to use therapy rather than medication where possible.

    Are There Supplements That Help With Anxiety?

    There’s a lot of speculation surrounding supplements.

    They may help your physical health if you are deficient in a particular vitamin, which has a positive knock-on effect on your anxiety.

    However, It always worth seeking professional help for your anxiety.

    What Therapy Is Good For Anxiety?

    You were not born an anxious person. We can all be floored by anxiety, but we can all learn to handle it on the flip side.

    With some help, you can quickly learn to recognize and treat the rising feelings of anxiety before it takes hold. By doing so, you quickly take back control and show your brain who’s really in control.

    Some people experience stomach problems when they are over-stressed, some people come out in rashes, you, unfortunately, experience anxiety.

    These are all just warning signals telling you to take note, reframe and get going calmly down the right road again.

    And the more you do something different in those stressful situations. The more your brain learns to expect to cope. In effect, you can learn to outwit your anxiety.

    Anxiety is a natural survival mechanism. But if it gets out of control, it means something isn’t working correctly in our lives.

    With anxiety therapy through Piece of Mind, you can work towards a day when you’re able to tell your GP you’re ready for them to help you reduce your medication down to nothing more than a teddy-bear-shaped multi-vitamin in the morning.

    How to calm my anxiety until I can see a therapist?

    The best way to calm your own anxiety is to take a deep breath in and exhale it slowly and repeat.

    Our breathing is closely connected to our thoughts because when we are anxious our brains tell the body that it needs to speed up heart rate, increase blood flow, and reduce oxygen levels.

    When you breathe deeply and calmly these processes slow down with the resulting feeling of calmness.

    Is hypnosis an effective treatment for panic anxiety?

    Meeting

    If you’re looking for a way to reduce your anxiety, then hypnosis may be the answer.

    But if you have a physical medical condition that is causing your symptoms, I would advise that problem is addressed first through your doctor.

    I know that the fear of being in a situation where you might have an attack is one of the most difficult things to deal with. It can be hard to go out, or even leave your home.

    Hypnosis has been shown time and time again as an effective treatment for panic anxiety because it helps change how our brains process these thoughts and feelings so that we can feel better about them.

    LinkedIn:

    David’s background is probably unlike anyone else you’ll meet in a mental health training room.

    Twenty-three years on the frontline of emergency services first as a police officer, now as an HCPC-registered practising paramedic. He hasn’t studied stress, trauma and burnout from a distance. He’s carried them, in uniform, responding to people at the absolute worst moments of their lives. He understands the culture that makes asking for help feel like the hardest thing in the world because he’s lived inside that culture.

    That frontline experience sits alongside his clinical practice as a qualified hypnotherapist and accredited EFT practitioner. David works with real people navigating real challenges every single week. What he brings to Piece of Mind Training isn’t theoretical. It’s current, grounded and built entirely from the inside out.

    As part of the team, David delivers training, practises as a therapist and plays a key role in the development and direction of the organisation making sure that everything Piece of Mind produces is professionally rigorous and genuinely human.

    Tagline: She’s written the book. Literally.

As a keynote speaker and leadership advisor, she helps organisations rethink what success and human flourishing actually look like.

    But what drives Iona’s commitment to mental health work goes deeper than her professional background. She lost her brother to suicide. That experience — and everything it taught her about the gap between what people are going through and the support available to them — shapes everything she brings to Piece of Mind Training.

    At Piece of Mind, Iona leads our partnerships, builds community impact and drives our growth across Scotland and beyond. She brings commercial insight, deep human understanding and a personal reason for being here that no CV can fully capture.

    As a trainer, Ann knows that the best mental health training doesn’t just inform people, it changes how they see themselves and the people around them. She brings that belief into every session she delivers, whether she’s working with a room full of HR professionals or a team who’ve never talked about mental health at work before.

    As a therapist, trainer, teacher and mum of three, Ann understands that most people are dealing with far more than anyone around them realises. That understanding is the foundation of everything she does.
