You were in the middle of the supermarket or just about to leave the office when suddenly you felt strange.  Your palms were clammy, your heart was racing, you felt a little faint and possibly even slightly nauseous.  You had to hang on to something close to you until the feeling passed.

It is terrifying the first time it happens, isn’t it?  You don’t know if you are sick or there is something else wrong with you.  Even the doctor can’t be sure without running a barrage of tests.  Then the first thing he wants to do is put you onto antidepressants.  But you’re not depressed, are you?

Anxiety can range from mild panic attacks to total phobias about certain things and it is very difficult to treat using conventional medicine.  While some degree of anxiety about life is natural and part of our human self-protection system, it should never get to the stage where it incapacitates you.

Hypnotherapy is the natural alternative and it has very good results.  Phobias are usually linked to something that happened to you in the past.  Through hypnotherapy we can identify the cause and help you to think about the event differently, thereby taking away that horrible, anxious feeling.    It helps to change the way your mind works so that you can control your reactions to anxiety and even avoid a panic attack altogether.
