How many times have you had great intentions to make a positive change in your life only to find you loose enthusiasm after a few days or weeks?

One of the reasons this may occur is our goal was a nice idea rather than a firm intention.

The Theory of Planned Behaviour suggests that a person’s intention is not a good predictor of their future behaviour.

Good intentions are one thing, action is another.

Analytical Hypnotherapy works to resolve unhelpful beliefs from our past and remove the obstacles that can help a person have the confidence to turn those nice ideas into clear intentions.

Stress and anxiety impact each other. The greater our external stresses, the more we will be troubled by our inner anxieties.

The anxiety within a person’s mind needs to find an outlet. They have to rationalise it, so (unknowingly) attach it to a symbolic representation.

They feel the anxiety for something in particular, for example, phobias, some physical symptoms, panic attacks, depression and many more.

The symptom acts as a ‘pressure value’ for the anxiety. It allows a person’s mind to rationalise feelings they are experiencing as anxiety.

Hypnoanalysis aims to reduce the accumulation of childhood unhelpful experiences.

By thinking through them as an adult, they are processed in a way they couldn't be the first time.

Less accumulated psychological baggage means we are less vulnerable to developing anxieties even when life stresses increase.

While we cannot change what happened in the past, it is possible to change the negative effects it has on current behaviour.

In a groundbreaking study published in BMC Psychology, researcher A. Buyukcebeci delves into the intricate psychological dynamics linking adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to an individual’s overall sense of happiness.

Now that we have put the clocks back the evenings are becoming much darker earlier.

For many this can also be a time when they notice their mood changing for the worse. A positive, happy outlook is sometimes replaced with more depressed feeling that can last for months.

Can Hypnotherapy help?

Hypnoanalysis combines psychotherapy and hypnotherapy helping a person process events from their life.

Using Hypnosis makes it easier to remember events, the unhelpful interpretations made at the time and the emotions they created.

The cathartic effect of thinking through past experiences reduces the intensity of the stored emotions.

Events are re-interpreted with the benefit of hindsight, and the anxiety created is resolved.

Stress and anxiety are different.

Stress is a response to external pressures. We feel agitated and unhappy and can attribute it to external things: work, relationships and financial issues. We know they cause stress (rather than anxiety) because when our external circumstances change, stress symptoms change also.

Anxiety creates the same symptoms, but the stress comes from within a person’s mind. They feel the same nervousness, anger and agitation, but it remains even when external circumstances change.

It is something inside themselves but outside their own control.

Sometimes those around us notice changes in our behaviour. How many times has somebody asked you if everything is Ok?

Many of my clients describe the situation as having slowly developed, without being able to say when it began.

As this change occurs we can often find that those things that can make us anxious get stronger and more obvious. A phobia you could previously keep under control becomes more of a problem, or your mood changes so you feel low and unhappy.

A lot of the time we don’t know what has led to this situation or what we should do about it. The well-intentioned advice of ‘getting on with it’ is little if any help.

Hypnoanalysis works through and removes the obstacles which are preventing us from getting on with life.

What is your ‘go to’ way to cope with stress?

Perhaps you are someone who focuses on the problem itself. You might be someone who finds solace in focusing on the practical solutions to the situation.

On the other hand, you may be someone who pays greater attention to dealing with the emotions created by the stressful events.

You might feel that dealing with the emotions helps you see things in a clearer perspective.

Perhaps you use both strategies?

Ever wondered why one person develops an anxiety condition and another doesn’t?

Some people have phobias while other’s don’t. Other's suffer with depression while the next person never has to fight against the same emotional numbness.

In years gone by, people were described as ‘having trouble with their nerves’, or being ‘highly strung,’ but that just describes how they are and not WHY they are so.

A description of symptoms is not an explanation.

Anxiety: Past Concerns Making Themselves Known

Your heart beats alarmingly quickly. You become aware that you are breathing more rapidly. It’s like you are struggling for air. You can feel a tightness in the chest with hot or cold flushes; feeling rooted to the spot.

Sound familiar? These symptoms are what we commonly call an anxiety attack.

A person feels anxious but doesn’t know where it is coming from so their mind associates the anxiety with situations in their lives, which helps them make sense of the feelings.

The panic is coming from inside them and is out of their control, and so needs to be explained.

Social anxiety (sometimes called social phobia) is best described as a fear of being judged.

The person feels self-conscious and unable to shake off the idea that others are making an assessment of them.

Like all anxieties, it's irrational so the thoughts are irrational too. The person’s low-self-esteem is projected onto the situation and they think:

“Why would they be interested in what I have to say?”

“I’m not as good as them. They are smarter and more confident than I am.”

Hypnoanalysis is a type of analytical therapy which works on the principle of cause and effect. For every symptom (social anxiety in this case) there has to be an underlying cause of the anxiety.

Rather than managing anxiety with strategies, the therapy works to resolve the underlying reasons for the problem and by doing so relieve the problem for good.
