You may have heard that anxiety hypnosis is a great way to treat anxiety disorders.  What you may not know is that there are many different types of anxiety disorders, and anxiety can show itself in many different extremes.  I have explained some of the different anxiety disorders below that can all be cured with the help of hypnosis.

Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) – is described by a constant worry about everyday things.  People can become overly concerned about money, health, family, work or other issues. Sometimes just the thought of getting through the day produces anxiety. Even though the worry seems pointless, it is hard for people to stop worrying.

Phobias – Things like new places, heights, elevators, certain animals, are all things that may make people feel a bit uneasy or frightened.  But people with these specific phobias feel overly frightened and powerless to control their fear, even if it doesn’t make any sense.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) – This is an unbearable condition that occurs in people who have experienced or witnessed a natural disaster, serious accident, terrorist incident, sudden death of a loved one, war, violent personal assault, or any other life threatening event.  Most times people who experience these things will recover from them, but people with PTSD will be depressed and anxious for months or years to follow.

Social Anxiety Disorder – This is the fear of being analyzed and judged by others in a social or performance type setting.  People with this disorder may feel very alone.  The anxiety can interfere significantly with daily routines, occupational performance or social life which makes it difficult to complete school, jobs or even have friendships or romantic relationships.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – People with this disorder suffer from unwanted and intrusive thoughts that they can’t seem to get out of their heads.  This often causes them to feel compelled to perform ritualistic behaviors and routines repeatedly.  Most people with OCD are aware that their compulsions are irrational, yet feel powerless to stop them.

Panic Disorder/Attack – This is a category of people who experience spontaneous, out of the blue panic attacks and are preoccupied with the fear of a recurring attack.

Anxiety hypnosis is a great way to help cure any of these disorders.  Hypnosis helps patients to relax and also to revisit past feelings to help them realize why they may be suffering from the specific disorder.  Make sure you visit a certified hypnotherapist to receive your hypnotherapy for anxiety.
