Ever feel anxious, but don’t know why?
Real, actual verifiable danger is one thing. It is also something that we can to react to by our fight or flight mechanism. The flight or fight mode is that which has allowed mankind to survive. We’re not going to talk about that today. What we’re going to visit about isn’t the same thing at all. It’s that – sense of foreboding… of impending disaster… that vague uneasy feeling where we don’t know what’s wrong, where we cannot identify the source. This type of fear is often referred to as anxiety. And anxiety can often be relieved by hypnotherapy.
We all have a conscious mind and a sub conscious mind. The conscious mind is a fully engaged and analytical state. It is also called the critical mind and it reacts to stimuli through our senses. When hear our burglar alarm go off, our sense of hearing alerts us that someone has entered the house. We investigate to see whether it is family member or an intruder. We smell smoke – our sense of smell alerts us that something might be on fire so we check our house for the possible causes. A truck has crossed the center line and came into our lane and our sense of sight registers this danger and we take evasive action. All of this and more is dealt with in our conscious mind.
Worry is something else altogether. Worry is always about the future. Worry along with our memory banks, our habits, our moods and our personality abodes in our subconscious mind. Now it might interest you to know that the only way that we can access our subconscious mind deliberately is through hypnosis as hypnosis is the bridge to the subconscious mind.
Often it is helpful to find out where the root cause of the worry, the anxiousness, the sense of impending disaster and the gloom initially came. In hypnotherapy we have the tool of the Phase II Theta State, known as regression. Here the individual can go back in their memory through the help of a skilled hypnotherapist and determine the root cause of the problem and move past the offending incident.
