Fear and Anxiety

Are your thoughts and emotions controlling you, rather than the other way round?

Do you often feel fearful and anxious even when you know there’s nothing to worry about?

Feeling worried and frightened is not a pleasant experience.

Your heart pounds. Your chest feels tight. Your stomach seem to be tied in knots. You break out in a sweat. You desperately want to run away – but where to? You might feel sick. You can’t think straight. You’re sure something awful is going to happen.

What is fear for?

If you were about to be hit by a bus or eaten by a lion, this would be okay as you wouldn’t be thinking at all. You’d be jumping aside, or running up the nearest tree as quickly as possible. You’d be so happy to come out alive that you’d hardly notice the sweat, or the knots in your stomach. This, after all, is what fear is for. It’s to spring you into instant, immediate, instinctive, life saving action.

If you are really in danger, fear and anxiety are completely appropriate – and useful – responses!

Why you feel afraid when you’re perfectly safe?

Chances are you are having these feelings and thoughts somewhere perfectly safe and secure. You are not about to die. You are not about to be attacked. You are likely surrounded by ordinary people going about their ordinary lives, just like you. Sure, some of them may be awkward characters, or may even actively dislike you, but dealing with difficult people is an ordinary part of ordinary life.

So how come you always feel so excessively worried and fearful about stuff?

When fear becomes a habit, growing out of control

Well, you may be surprised to learn this, but, like all human responses, feeling afraid and uneasy can become a habit. There may have been times in the past when you’ve had genuine reasons to feel frightened about what might happen to you, but somehow this feeling has become generalized to lots of situations where it doesn’t belong.

And because fear feeds on itself, growing ever bigger by focusing on how bad things could get, it can end up taking over your life, imprisoning you in an iron cage of worry.

Hypnosis can break the fear habit for good

Through hypnosis, you’ll quickly notice that you:

Feel like a great weight has lifted from your shoulders
Find you are noticeably more relaxed about life in general
Start using emotional control in more and more different situations
Feel much more in command of yourself
Enjoy life so much more!
