Anxiety is not uncommon; it’s a flight or fight situation that we all experience at some point in our lives. It’s a feeling you get before a job interview, a big presentation, or a first date. Though it is natural, it can interfere with the quality of your life, making regular tasks challenging and negatively impacting your mental health. It can develop over time and cause changes in physical health, such as increased blood pressure, shortness of breath, and dizziness.

Perhaps you struggle with the same feeling that you can’t take control of, no matter how hard you try. And now you probably avoid interacting with the world, shutting yourself up entirely. If so, it’s time to enroll yourself in the hypnotherapy program at Divine Spark Coaching. The hypnocoaching program will help you understand your anxiety patterns and your body’s response to stress. During the therapy, you will learn why you feel anxious and what to do about it.

What happens when you feel anxious?

Anxiety, though it doesn’t seem significant, can impact your mental health. And that’s why learning to manage it and overcome symptoms is imperative. When you feel anxious, your brain is flooded with stress hormones, including cortisol, making you feel overwhelmed that something terrible is going to happen.

Dealing with anxiety for a long time enlarges the amygdala, your brain’s part that deals with moods and emotions and sends signals to the hypothalamus, eventually triggering the fight or flight response. When the amygdala is hypersensitive, it sends false alarms even when there is no threatening situation, making you feel anxious.

Furthermore, anxiety for a long time weakens the connection between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex—the logical part of the brain. That’s one of the reasons why people struggling with anxiety don’t think rationally or talk themselves down to calm their anxious feelings.

How can hypnotherapy help you deal with anxiety?

Hypnotherapy engages you in a trance-like state where you feel relaxed and calm. Your therapist then uses positive affirmations and suggestions to help you visualize images and reflect on ideas. During the therapy—when you are in a state of trance—you recognize your anxious thoughts and retrain your brain to manage them, thereby treating the root cause of your anxiety. The natural shift in brainwave patterns delivers rapid and positive results, helping you achieve meaningful changes in a short period.

Rather than letting anxiety take control of your life, consider customized hypnotherapy programs at Divine Spark Coaching to overcome your anxious thoughts.
