Sometimes people fail to notice symptoms of anxiety, or the effects that a stressful situation is having on their wellbeing. If you have difficulty concentrating, often feel irritable and fatigued, then there may be an emotional imbalance present, causing these symptoms. 

A lot of the time people ‘bounce back’ naturally, but when this doesn’t happen, chronic stress may result in panic disorder or a generalised anxiety. Complementary therapies can make a difference in being able to deal with anxiety and stress-related symptoms in a more focussed way compared to traditional counselling. 

The main difference being that hypnosis helps you address the subconscious root of the problem, which sometimes years of conscious psychotherapy cannot.

With smoking restrictions in public places, there is more interest than ever before in effective methods of smoking cessation. Many people report that using patches and attending non-smoking clinics is useful up to a point, but that they are still struggling.

Therapy can help with the subconscious thinking, the part of the mind that controls habits, but like most addictions you do have to be consciously determined to stop. With hypnosis you can help your subconscious mind address this old habit, focus on good health, more energy and fitness, and of course saving money. 

We all need to eat, but some may feel out of control and fed up feeling overweight and unable to wear clothes they’d like to. These feelings can affect your self-esteem and make you feel depressed, or out of sorts. There are many dietary problems which therapy can help address such as overeating, and eating fads such as refusing to eat vegetables, etc.

Suggestion hypnotherapy can often help to bring about changes, and using analytical hypnosis helps to identify the real source of the problem. Again, there has to be a real decision to change and it’s worthwhile considering therapy as part of an overall regime of proper diet, and at least moderate exercise. Remember, diets are based on the feeling of deprivation and sacrifice, so once you finish a diet and return to previous eating patterns, the weight goes back on! 

Hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis can be used to reduce chronic pain, and often decrease the need for constant medication intake. Clients can learn some methods of self-hypnosis, so that they can help themselves. There are many forms of chronic pain i.e. headaches, back pain, nerve pain…but remember you must always see your doctor first.
