Anxiety is the malady of the modern age… or is it?
According to Stop Anxiety Expert Mark Shepard, “Anxiety is thinking vividly about what you do NOT want to have happen.”
If that is the case, anxiety is every bit as much a blessing to the human race as it is a problem.
Think about it. If your ancestors weren’t able to think about the future and make appropriate plans for food storage, warm clothing and shelter, none of us would be here to day to worry about whatever it is that you are worrying about….
Let’s see… (just for fun I’ve lumped a bunch of anxiety labels together)
- Test Anxiety
- Male Performance Anxiety
- Music Performance Anxiety
- Social Anxiety (what used to be called “Shyness”
- General Anxiety Disorder a.k.a. G.A.D.
- Panic Disorder, panic attacks
- Phobias: agoraphobia, emetophobia, technophobia,
- Then there is good old fashioned FEAR! Let’s see: fear of flying, fear of speaking in public, fear of elevators, fear of success, fear of the phone, fear of spending money on new socks…
Maybe we should have a label for having anxiety about having anxiety? (seriously!)
If focusing on negative outcomes can cause your body to react as if the imagined event is real… what would happen if you learned how to focus on positive outcomes using hypnosis?
Hypnosis can assist you to create the kinds of images and self talk and reassuring thoughts that cause your body to release endorphins and other “feel good” chemicals instead of the “feel not so good” chemical cocktail of your typical anxiety triggered fight of flight reaction.
If you or someone you love suffers from anxiety and are open to working with a hypnotist in the Milford CT area, please imagine what it would be like to feel totally relaxed and comfortable and able to enjoy life! Then call me so we can re-train your unconscious mind to focus on the future in a way that gets you want you want out of life.
