Anxiety

Anxiety is a modern day symptom of fear, and one of the ways we protect ourselves from fear is by engaging our sympathetic nervous system. If our brains think that we’re in some kind of danger, it will step in to help, releasing stress hormones to help us run away, fight, or freeze. These hormones make our palms sweat, our hearts beat faster and churn our stomachs. They get us out of what our brain perceives as the immediate threat, immediate danger but they also make us feel uncomfortable.

This automatic response works great for us when this IS real danger out there, but unfortunately our system can also get activated when there is no real physical danger around. Think public speaking, letters from the bank or a night out with friends. These things aren’t dangerous as such, but may trigger unnecessary responses and leave us feeling incredibly anxious.

This cycle of anxiety repeats itself over and over again, and starts affecting our day to day living, leaving us feeling anxious at the smallest of things or battling anxiety on a daily basis.

SFH is proven to work incredibly well with reducing anxiety. It really does work. Using a combination of talk therapy and trances, small suggestions are made to help you manage your anxiety better, bringing down those all important stress levels and helping you make the right choices for you. You will start sleeping better too, so starting each day in a more positive frame of mind!

“I’ve had anxiety all my life, but didn’t really accept it until recently. Clare helped me to realise what was causing it and showed me how to help myself. Clare recorded something to help me with sleeping which in turn has helped me to empty my stress bucket! I found the smallest thing would overwhelm me before but am now able to manage things. I’d definitely recommend this as a natural way to help overcome anxiety. Thanks Clare”

CD has grown so much in confidence since doing hypnotherapy with me. She is self employed and was struggling to grow her business. She now has a much more prominent social media presence, with more followers, and runs a stall at local craft fairs.

“I had 6 sessions with Clare to tackle my anxiety which was affecting my sleep, day to day life, and general well-being. From the initial consultation, Clare put me firmly at ease. She is warm, knowledgable and shows no judgement. I instantly felt as though I could safely open up. The sessions alongside a sleep recording, provided by Clare, have made such a difference. My anxiety is reduced to the point where I have been able to begin to reduce my prescribed medication and almost at the point of ending completely. My work stress which has always been such a negative impact is heavily reduced to a reasonable, manageable level. I’m so happy to have had this experience and would wholly recommend Clare and Hypnotherapy.“

LB has since given up smoking on her own and has stopped all medication. She has also recently driven long distances with her children in the car – something she would avoid at all costs previously!
