Anxiety and Stress

Reducing and Managing Anxiety/Stress,
nr Wrexham & Chester

Some stress is needed in our lives, it motivates us, or even protects us in real episodes of danger, but it's excess, or it's experience being stimulated by the thoughts in our head rather than real life events can be hard to manage, and can underpin some of our most unwanted forms of emotional behaviour.

Learn to Manage Your experience of Anxiety, Quickly

It's possible to believe that anxiety is our innate state, but the vast majority of us can reduce it significantly and learn to be relaxed and in control. Alan has met clients who believed themselves to be 'born worriers' who have had success, and much more quickly than many imagined was possible. If you live around the Chester, Wrexham, Oswestry corridor then ring Alan on 07872 968 227 to arrange an Initial Consultation.

Hypnotherapy - What to Expect

Alan will arrange for you to come along for a one hour Initial Consultation (IC). At this consultation, you will have the opportunity to meet Alan, and decide if you would feel comfortable working with him. He will assess the nature of your anxiety, and explain in detail how he would help, which gives you the means to make an informed decision. There is no hypnosis used in the IC, and chaperones are welcomed.

If you decide to go ahead, you can expect to see Alan weekly at the outset, for sessions that break down into approx. 30 mins 'waking', and a further 20/25 mins using hypnotic trance.

This continues until you can both agree that there is clear improvement, at which point the session intervals quickly open out.

Most people are experiencing improvements between the 3rd and 5th session.

How anxiety and stress can affect you;

Stress can get out of control, and we can start to experience anxiety, which is our brains' most primitive warning sign, which is great if you are in real danger, but not helpful when the gas bill drops on the mat!

We can start to display primitive, defensive, or emotional behaviour in the form of;

'Hypervigilance'... spotting more of this kind of 'danger', even where it doesn't exist.
Negativity... fearing the worst in the event that we think we have spotted some danger.
Obsession... constantly on the look out for more of the danger.
Anger... which makes us strong enough to fight or run away.
Overeating... in case the 'danger' threatens our food stores.
Undereating... to preserve what food there is.
Freeze/Withdrawal... until the 'danger' has safely gone away.
