PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING – TALK THERAPY – HYPNOSIS – ACUPUNCTURE

Hypnosis for Anxiety:

Specially trained and certified hypnotherapists can make use of clinical hypnosis to treat those living with anxiety through relaxation techniques and helping people reframe their anxiety or situation while under hypnotic trance. There has been a great deal of research done on the effectiveness of hypnosis services / hypnotherapy for treating anxiety disorders.

Hypnosis by itself and as an adjunct to other treatments has been proven to help calm anxiety in cancer patients, burn patients, and other anxiety issues such as pre-test anxiety.

A meta-analysis from 2018 reviewed the findings of almost 400 records, 15 studies, and 17 trials of hypnosis for controlling the symptoms of anxiety. They concluded that hypnosis was more effective in treating anxiety than other methods alone. At the end of treatment, the average participant in the 17 trials reported more reduced anxiety than 79% of the control groups.

A 2018 study of burn wound patients found that hypnosis was highly effective in managing pain and reducing the secondary symptoms of anxiety.

Another peer-reviewed study from 2018 of cancer patients concluded that the group receiving hypnosis as an adjunct treatment showed statistically significant reduction in symptoms of pain and anxiety. They further went on the say that hypnosis can be considered effective for controlling anxiety in cancer patients and other chronic illnesses.

A 2010 meta-analysis concluded that a “tremendous volume of research provides compelling evidence that hypnosis is an efficacious treatment for state anxiety (e.g., prior to tests, surgery and medical procedures) and anxiety-related disorders, such as headaches and irritable bowel syndrome.” The study also concluded that hypnosis showed promising results for treating general anxiety disorder but that more research was needed.

Counseling for Anxiety:

Therapists help people with anxiety disorders identify the core issues that trigger their condition and how they can better manage these triggers through various techniques. This empowers them to feel less anxious by breaking down the cycle of avoidance that keeps them from living a full life; thus, allowing them to move forward and break free from the clutches of anxiety – enabling them to live a more positive and fulfilling life.

One key principle is the coping skills model, which encourages individuals to analyze their problems & develop practical solutions. This helps overcome feelings of helplessness, instilling confidence in one’s ability to cope as opposed to relying on medication.

Both anxiety & panic attacks can result in the development of unhealthy coping mechanisms if left untreated.

The effects of anxiety disorders can permeate daily activities, relationships and your career or education. Specific phobias can hinder your ability to participate in certain situations, and social anxiety can prevent you from cultivating healthy relationships. Disorders such as agoraphobia may even keep you from leaving the house.

Fortunately, there are ways to develop healthy strategies to combat distress from anxiety disorders.

Talk therapy can be one of the best ways to gain a sense of tranquility amidst the effects of anxiety. Talking with a counselor can be an opportunity to express your concerns, process them and learn healthy coping mechanisms.
