How To Deal With Anxiety – Hypnotherapy Review
When you struggle with anxiety, it can make even the simplest of tasks turn into a battle. Things other people seem to just do can become anxiety-fulled struggles to avoid or endure – things like talking to others, answering the phone or open the door.
Recently I read an article where a therapist described how anxiety is your friend and should be welcomed. And certainly where anxiety is at a reasonable or appropriate level to what is going on then it can be helpful – it can help us avoid threats and harm and give us a clear ‘warning signal’ that we might need to review our plans or what we are doing.
Yet when someone has an anxiety disorder, the last thing they consider their anxiety to be is helpful. When anxiety levels are too high, everything can seem like a threat and all those thoughts lead to more anxiety which leads to even more thoughts. Once we take away the emotion, the thoughts are no different to hundreds of other random thoughts that pop in and out of heads all day long, yet which don’t stop us going about our day.
And having been there with anxiety myself, I know what a relief it is to reset anxiety, feel back in control and start enjoing life again.
