A client last week asked the question, "Why do I feel so anxious?" He was to the point that this anxiety was interfering with his new relationship and his job as well as decisions about basic human experiences. Anxiety is the habit of exaggerating the possibility of danger out of proportion. The this case, the client had a very old feeling of "the fear of being left alone". And what he constantly did was try and keep people close to him, so he didn't have to experience it (the feeling of being alone). Since he experienced this initial feeling of "the fear of being left alone" at a very early age, it never got an outlet so his body stayed in a state of emergency which resulted in anxious feelings.
What I did in the hypnosis session was use regression to follow the feeling back to the source of its origin, from there, he discovered that the fear was actually unfounded. He realized he was really never left alone. This is the true meaning of the word "phobia"...the fear of the fear.
If you have anxious feelings explore the fact that you can be experiencing the fear of rejection, fear of failure, or fear of criticism. Fear is a warning system in the body and needs to be released. This can be accomplished through hypnosis, insight therapies and perhaps meditation.

OVERCOMING ANXIETY IN AN ANXIOUS WORLD
OVERCOMING ANXIETY IN AN ANXIOUS WORLD
You can take pills to control the anxiety, depression and fear coming from challenges of these tough economic times. Or you might choose alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. But did you know there are far healthier and more effective ways to deal with everything being thrown at us today? The alternative is mind control, a process of training your mind to respond in a way that is based on your choice…but how do you make the jump to the other side?
DO YOU HAVE A FEAR OF FEELING?
The first step is the step that usually we want to skip…why? Because the first step can be painful, please note, I’ve emphasized Can. So what is the first step? It is feeling. Stopping and feeling. To stop running from what we are trying not to feel and stopping and feeling the emotion that we are working so hard not to feel. Our subconscious mind works to avoid things that are painful and to seek things that offer us pleasure. However this is a downward spiral, because the “drug” of choice never has the power to take away the source of the anxiety. But your mind does. I teach self-hypnosis to enable us to stop, feel, discover and transform. We have the power to transform our reality, what stops us is our fear. Life can be free and easy, it is not meant to be a struggle. If you are struggling, learn a new skill, the skill of mind control through self-hypnosis. Others use meditation, group therapy, insight therapies, or yoga to achieve similar results. No matter what healthy alternative you use, consider making the jump to the other side…and see what a difference it makes on your outlook and your health.
