Anxiety- hypnotherapy?

2 replies

Angeleyes2018 · 22/05/2018 01:14

Hi everyone- been suffering from anxiety for the past 11months - been really up and down - some really bad weeks where I'm having really bad negative thoughts- bad physical symptoms - tight throat , can't breath, forget how to swallow, heart racing, - fight or flight is crazy and I'm thinking about things I can't control- life and the meaning, death and how I don't wanna die or see anyone I love die .... I gave up alcohol and smoking 1 year ago and scared to touch anything again.... I can't take medicine(paracetamol or even the pill- scared about foods and anything that goes on my body that j can't get out if I needed to - I don't know what happened or why but it's mow ruining my life - I have had cbt for 9 months and helped a little but I need more help and will not take medication.. I'm come too far without so I don't want to start - has anyone had hypnotherapy ? If so ... has it worked? Any tips ? Any recommendations ? Thanks in advance x

Well done on giving up alcohol and smoking OP. If we agree that anxiety or depression may be caused by a chemical imbalance (not sure if you do?) why not try correcting it with medication?
Lots of people with better experience and advice will be along, but it sounds as if you've done everything you can and need more help. Whether hypnotherapy will be a fast enough solution, I'm not sure, but imagine the quality of the practitioner will be crucial. Thanks

Look at The Linden Method
