Overcoming Fear and Anxiety with Hypnotherapy in Newbury, Berkshire

Fear and anxiety are natural responses designed to protect us. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors relied on the fight-or-flight response to survive threats like predatory animals. But in the modern world, this same response often kicks in at inappropriate times—when driving a car, giving a presentation, or even making a phone call. Instead of helping us, it can leave us feeling overwhelmed, tense, and unable to think clearly. This is where hypnotherapy can help.

Understanding Fear and Anxiety

Fear is a response to an immediate threat, while anxiety is a persistent worry about potential dangers. Both trigger the fight-or-flight response, controlled by the unconscious mind. This response increases heart rate, tenses muscles, and floods the body with stress hormones. While useful in life-threatening situations, it often becomes a hindrance in daily life.

For example, feeling anxious before a big meeting may cause your mind to go blank, your palms to sweat, and your stomach to churn. When this reaction occurs frequently, it can lead to avoidance behaviours, limiting your opportunities and affecting your confidence.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help

Hypnotherapy works by accessing the unconscious mind, where deep-seated fears and anxieties are stored. Through relaxation and guided visualisation, a trained hypnotherapist helps reprogramme your response to stress, replacing fear with a sense of calm and control.

Benefits of Hypnotherapy for Anxiety:

• Reduces Overactive Stress Responses – Hypnotherapy helps lower excessive fight-or-flight reactions, promoting relaxation in situations that previously caused anxiety.

• Improves Confidence and Focus – By reshaping unconscious beliefs, hypnotherapy allows you to approach challenges with a clear and focused mind.
