Anxiety Reduction Hypnosis
Hypnosis has a solid track record in the treatment of a wide variety of issues and problems relating to anxiety, panic and stress. There are several phenomena associated with hypnosis which make it particularly helpful in the treatment of these conditions.
Anxiety and panic attacks are the result of inappropriate stimulation of hormonal and nervous ‘stress response’ pathways. In contrast, hypnotherapy is a procedure which can induce deep states of relaxation. The process of hypnosis tends to switch off the ‘stress response’ and switch on the ‘relaxation response’. Self-hypnosis is a relaxation skill which you can learn. It can empower you to gain more control over previously stressful situations.
Stress and anxiety are frequently related to fear of judgement, criticism and rejection. This can often manifest itself as fear based perfectionism in the workplace and in social and family relationships. It can also cause people to ignore their own needs in order to please and prioritise the needs of others resulting in emotional and physical exhaustion.
For the past 27 years, Melbourne Clinical Hypnotherapy led by founder and hypnotherapist, Dr Bruce Alexander, has been successfully treating anxiety, panic attacks and stress using clinical hypnotherapy at Kew Holistic Health clinic in Kew, Melbourne.
Control Anxiety Program
The Controlling Stress and Anxiety Program typically requires 3-4 sessions over a number of weeks. Program duration can vary depending on individual client needs and circumstances.
Sometimes anxious people are in the habit of allowing too much negative and fearful imagery to persist in their thinking. Too much worrying over-stimulates the ‘stress response’ pathway and this creates feelings of anxiety. Hypnotic suggestions are given to let go of the habit of worrying and to use your imagination in a more positive and productive manner.
The first session explores the individual causes of stress and anxiety. Sometimes these are physical fears like the fear of flying or the fear of disease. Sometimes they are emotional fears often involving underlying fear of criticism, judgement and rejection.
This first session and subsequent sessions build resilience to stressful situations using hypnotic suggestion to support a resilient and confident self-identity.
Subsequent sessions reinforce this process creating increasing feeling of safety and security in situations previously perceived as dangerous or threatening.
What Our Clients Say
“The treatment seems to be working I am finding it much easier to talk to women when I go out and I seem to be going out more often, so I will be scheduling an appointment with you. However I will wait until next year to do so. It is just a very hectic time of year at the moment for me. Thanks Mark”*
“I never would have imagined the improvements to my life that have come about as a result of attending hypnotherapy. Exploited and stressed at work, I lacked the self-confidence and esteem needed to stand up for myself. Your sessions helped me to accept that I do deserve to be treated with respect, and gave me the courage I needed to make things right. This new found confidence enabled me to take the steps necessary to stand up for myself, and I arranged a meeting with the executive director to request back-pay that was owing to me. A cheque recently came in the mail for over $8000. I now feel more confident and strong and I look forward to the future and the positive changes I am making to my life and career. Bruce, I cannot thank you enough for the strength I have acquired as a result of attending your sessions: it is something that benefits every area of my life. You truly have a very special gift. Thank you! Ann.”
“Hey Bruce, I flew 21 hours there and another 21 back with no fear at all, and I’m a believer! It feels like a lobotomy or something it is such a turn around for me. Had a couple of panics starting in turbulence and got them right down before they took hold using the various visualisation techniques you taught me. I am absolutely amazed – my fear has gone! Have I had the miracle cure now or is some sort of maintenance required? I am not feeling like I do need anything as I feel great – but I want it to last. Don’t know how to say thanks except to testify to all I see I guess, I am still in shock and full of gratitude! Paula”
“Dear Bruce, thanks again for your ongoing assistance and support. I truly believe that with your help and expertise in Hypnotherapy I’ve come a very long way in controlling my stress and anxiety without the need to go past the bottle shop first. My only wish is that I had contacted you earlier and prevented a lot of the pain and misery I had suffered and caused. For the past 20 plus years I’ve dealt with the effects of my anxiety by self-medicating with alcohol and over the counter medication and at 40 years of age it was beginning to take a heavy toll on my health and more importantly on my family. The strength you have given me through Hypnotherapy has empowered me to take back control of my life and make decisions that are right for me and my family without the fear of being judged, criticised or rejected. My family and I can’t thank you enough for helping me turn my life around and giving me a future not clouded in fear. Regards Andrew”
“When I first met Dr Bruce, I was in an extremely bad place. I was addicted to drugs (ice and speed). In 2007 I finally decided to take steps to help my addiction and booked in for sessions with Dr Bruce. The year is now 2010 and I haven’t touched any drugs since 07 and through more sessions I have quit smoking and also helped my anxiety. I feel like a completely different person, and I have Dr Bruce to thank for”.* (Testimonial for hypnosis treatment for drugs, smoking and anxiety”
