Anxiety is essentially fear without a specific cause. It’s the brain on constant vigil for potential threat. Triggers setup by the subconscious mind alert the person when threat is imminent (even when it isn’t).

The past two years of dealing with an unknown virus, unknown outcomes, and no plan have certainly been the perfect conditions to breed anxiety and stress. When we then eliminate the balancing mechanisms of social contact, touch, and gatherings, our fight/flight response has literally been unchecked.

Emerging Burnout and Fatigue

This sustained overload is unnatural and therefore unbearable. As a result, we are seeing pandemic fatigue and burnout emerging. This is why we feel the apathy, the numbness, the panic, the racing mind, the need to flee, the need to hide, and an overall disconnect. Living like this ultimately manifests as disease and disconnected relationships.

From Burnout to Balance: How Hypnotherapy Can Restore Calm

This is clearly not how we are meant to live our lives. In fact, we are meant to live our lives 99% of the time in joy, peace, and ease. These are the states in which humans thrive. Hypnotherapy is an incredible tool to restore this balance.

The Hypnotherapy approach:

1. Hypnosis clears the foggy brain because it is a hyper focused state on one thing in the absence of all else. It’s the most peaceful feeling in the world.

2. Hypnosis gives the hypervigilant, anxious person a chance to feel how natural and safe it is to experience positive feelings again without negative consequences.

3. Hypnosis increases awareness of negative thought patterns and thus allows the opportunity to stop it and reframe it to the positive.

4. The safe space of hypnosis gives people the opportunity to defuse old negative triggers in a safe, quick, and long lasting way.

5. Hypnosis helps us identify limiting beliefs/behaviours that are holding us back.

6. Focusing on the problem only gets you more problems. Like setting your radio for a specific frequency, hypnosis helps us reset the frequency to that which we desire.

7. Hypnosis helps us become aware of the purpose of our emotions. If we are feeling one in an excessive way, it is likely a red flag that there is an old subconscious program in need of updating.

After using all of these tools, within the space of Hypnosis, we are now able to see the big picture. When the whole world seems to be going crazy around us, we can remember that this is a chosen perspective and reset the frequency. War may be declared, and the outlook bleak, but the sun still comes up, the birds still sing, and we know that this too shall pass.
