Most anxiety begins with either an incident while young or due to fears shared by the people who raised you. Symptoms of anxiety vary widely in severity. Some people experience anxiety occasionally and are able to deal with it without major life disruptions while others are debilitated by long lasting and severe reactions.

3. Many experts recommend a
combined cognitive behavioral
therapy approach with
techniques from hypnotherapy.
Understanding the motivations
behind anxiety helps to
understand which method is
the best choice for an
individual.

4. Here is how hypnotherapy is used to
conquer anxiety:
1. The hypnotherapist must
first evaluate the type of
anxiety a client suffers
from. Not all anxiety can be
treated using
hypnotherapy.

5. If anxiety is caused by an underlying
physical condition, such as hypertension or
a thyroid problem, then the best course of
action is to see a trained medical
practitioner. Additionally, anxiety is part of
many psychiatric illnesses and treatment
should be reserved for specialists in the
mental health field.

6. 2. Once medical and psychiatric
diagnosis have been ruled
out, the next step is to
determine the type of anxiety
present. These falls into three
major categories: free floating
or generalized anxiety, short
intense periods of panic
between periods of relative
calm, and a mixture of the
two.

7. 3. Further work must be done
to determine if the anxiety is
part of a situational phobia,
a post-traumatic stress
reaction to a previous event,
a disturbance when tension
is induced by the need to
perform certain actions in
individuals with an
obsessive compulsive
disorder.

8. Once diagnosis has been completed, a plan
of action should be put into place. The most
successful use of hypnotherapy to conquer
anxiety is when the anxiety is generalized. A
hypnotherapist actively works to create a
relaxed state within the patient.

9. This can be done using one of several methods
that include:
1.Direct suggestion.
2.Counting method.
3.Stepwise relaxation.
4.Counting using imagery suggestions.
5.Feelings of heaviness.
6.The use of touch during the process to relax
the body.

10. Patients have the opportunity to relax during
hypnosis, the support of pharmaceutical
drugs to maintain that relaxation, and
cognitive behaviors training to recognize
anxiety triggers and retrain their bodily
response before and during the onset of
anxiety.
