Can Hypnosis Help With Anxiety?

People suffering with anxiety and panic attacks look to all kinds of things to help find relief. Hypnosis for anxiety is one of them. But can it really help?

It's a common misconception to think that hypnosis involves being put into a trance where you are not in control of your body. This is the kind of thing you may have seen on cartoons or even in a demonstration where a hypnotist can make a man walk around clucking like a chicken. Entertainment variety hypnosis is not what I'm talking about today.

Self hypnosis done while listening to mp3 audios is a subtle but effective way to help manage anxiety and even overcome panic attacks. The listener is in a relaxed state- usually with eyes closed- and listens to the suggestions on the mp3. These suggestions go into the listener's subconscious and can help "re-train" the anxious mind to think differently- calmer and healthier.

I have been using self hypnosis mp3s to help manage my anxiety for a few years now. You can learn more here: Self Hypnosis for Anxiety.
