I’ve had issues with anxiety for as long as I can remember. I would worry about things that were relevant and also things that were completely irrational and beyond my control.
I suffered my first panic attack when I was 17 and have had several since. My anxiety has never stopped me achieving my goals in life, but there have been various periods of time during which the anxiety has been so all-consuming it almost has. Most of the time however, it has just been there, looming, waiting to ignite.
I’ve tried various medications, self-help books, Counselling and Psychotherapy but nothing seemed to help for more than a very short period of time. Hypnotherapy was my last hope really. I had read positive things about it and thought I may as well give it a shot. I am so very, very happy that I did. It’s been nearly 3 months since I completed my sessions with Dan and I still feel great. If I ever start to feel the anxiety creeping in I use the tools and methods Dan has taught me to deal with it. It does not spiral out of control any more and I can manage it.
Dan is amazing; from the beginning he made me feel relaxed and comfortable and offered no judgement, just gentle assertiveness and encouragement that he will help fix things. And he did. I will be forever grateful.
