How can anxiety disorders be treated with hypnosis?

Because most anxiety disorders have at least some anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs are generally prescribed. It is important to inquire about possible side effects of any medication.

An Anxiety Disorder can be brought on by a major life trauma, such as being a witness to or a victim of a crime, physical or sexual abuse, a major illness, or a life threatening experience. Sometimes financial difficulties, grief from a death in one's family or a divorce can trigger anxiety symptoms. These type of "life stressors" are inevitable in life. But for many people, they are the root cause of their anxiety disorders.

Therapeutic strategies can be effective in reducing symptoms in each of the anxiety disorders but never resolves the root of the problem. The techniques used include hypnosis, to help people turn their anxious thoughts, interpretations and predictions into thoughts which are more rational and less anxious. People with anxiety disorders may not benefit from controlled exposure to feared objects or situations, because it never resolves the source of the problem.
