Is hypnosis good for anxiety?

In today's social environment, if you want to succeed, you must pay a very high price and at the same time bear tremendous pressure. Once your body collapses under the pressure, you will definitely fail. Many people become particularly anxious due to pressure from work or life, and over time this anxiety will turn into anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder is a psychological illness that must be treated promptly. So, is hypnosis reliable for treating anxiety disorders?

Anxiety is a form of response to tension and setbacks. People who are in a stressful working environment and have bad interpersonal relationships for a long time are more likely to develop anxiety. If it does not happen often, it can be alleviated through self-adjustment so as not to affect the body and mind. However, in a highly competitive society, people are almost always subject to irresistible setbacks and unmet spiritual and material needs. If they do not have good social adaptability, they will become anxious and develop into anxiety disorder.

In medicine, anxiety disorder is a type of neurosis, the main manifestation of which is: always feeling fearful, nervous, and uneasy, as if a disaster is about to happen. Although I knew there was no danger or threat, I was still filled with fear. In addition, there are two other phenomena:

1. Motor restlessness: fidgeting, frowning, heavy mood, frequent unconscious small movements of the hands, such as scratching the head, rubbing the hands, clenching fists, fiddling with fingers, closing eyes and stretching arms forward.

There are symmetrical slight tremors in the fingers, tension or swelling in the head and neck, and it is difficult to feel pleasant. Poor concentration, memory loss, and difficulty in developing interest in anything.

2. Autonomic nervous system disorders are mainly manifestations of sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity, such as dry mouth, palpitations, sweating, shortness of breath, chest tightness, poor appetite, constipation or diarrhea, frequent urination, etc.

Currently, anxiety disorders are mostly treated by taking anti-anxiety drugs, which can provide temporary relief but cannot eliminate the symptoms. Psychotherapy is the only effective treatment for anxiety disorder, and hypnosis is particularly effective.

Under the guidance of hypnotic language, the patient can gradually relax the whole body and even the soul, get rid of all emotional pressure, and carry out benign "mental gymnastics" training on the patient according to the choreographed language instructions, so that the central nervous system gradually becomes "healthy" and "strong", and thus able to withstand all kinds of setbacks and pressures. Under hypnosis, the subject's brain can get a full and natural rest, completely freeing the body and mind from anxiety, making them feel happy, more confident, and more able to control their emotions. From then on, they will no longer be troubled by anxiety.

In fact, hypnosis treatment for anxiety disorder has not yet become popular. After all, not everyone can become a hypnotist, but it requires mastering a lot of knowledge and skills. If you can't find a good hypnotist to help you treat your anxiety, you can try self-suggestion to treat it. This way, constantly encouraging yourself can also help you get out of the haze of anxiety.
