Hypnosis and anxiety

Whether it's about a specific subject - your relationship, your finances or your work - or whether the anxiety affects multiple areas of your life, you're in a constant state of worry.

▼ You always anticipate the worst-case scenarios, even in ordinary situations.

▼ Every small decision seems crucial, and you spend hours overthinking all the possible options, afraid of makinf the wrong choice.

▼ You feel trapped in your thoughts and ruminations, unable to find the "pause" button.

▼ Any waiting or uncertainty (an unanswered message, a missed call) throws you into a spiral of anxious assumptions.

▼ You have trouble falling asleep and/or wake up in the middle of the night with intrusive thoughts, leaving you exhausted in the morning.

▼ Even in moments of relaxation, an inner voice whispers worries to you.

Anxiety and panic attacks are sudden and can be terrifying. They often occur anywhere at any time, and are therefore difficult to anticipate. These episodes come with intense physical and emotional symptoms. You feel completely out of control.

▼ Your heart races for no apparent reason, with a feeling of tightness in your chest, as if you were running out of air.

▼ During an attack, you feel like you're going to faint or lose control, which only amplifies your fear.

▼ The fear of having another attack makes you avoid certain places (stores, public transport...) or even limit your outings.

▼  You may wake up in the middle of the night, in the grip of a panic attack, with the sensation of an imminent threat.

▼ Sometimesyou feel like you're "going crazy" or disconnecting from reality.

Social anxiety, or social phobia, is characterized by an intense fear of being judged, embarrassed or rejected in social situations.

You anticipate certain interactions - professional presentations, social gatherings, even simple conversations - as potential moments of embarrassment. You feel uncomfortable in public or even in familiar circles. You feel constantly observed, criticized and evaluated.

▼ Before a meeting or a gathering, you feel intense stress, with looping thoughts about what others mights think of you.

▼ In social situations, you feel yourself blushing, sweating or trembling, and you worry that others will notice your discomfort.

▼ Even in informal contexts, like a dinner, a party or a celebration, you find it difficult to engage in conversation, fearing you'll say something inappropriate or uninteresting and appear as awkward or insecure.

▼ After an interaction, you spend hours replaying every word exchanged, worrying that you've said something "wrong" or been misinterpreted.

▼ Even a trivial situation, like answering the phone or making an in-store request, can become a source of anxiety.

A specific phobia is an irrational and intense fear triggered by a particular object or situation.

Whether it's a fear of flying, elevators, needles, animals, insects or thunderstorms, the anxiety is so overwhelming that it drives you to avoid the feared element at all costs. Although you are aware that this fear is disproportionate, it takes control.

▼ You avoid taking elevators for fear of getting stuck or running out of air.

▼ You avoid flying or feel intense anxiety as soon as you board a plane,

▼ Face-to-face with a spider, however small, your heart races and you feel an intense need to go away or escape.

▼ You postpone important medical appointments because the sight of needles causes you unbearable anxiety.

▼ When you see a dog, even on a leash, you feel an uncontrollable surge of panic, fearing it might attack you, even when there is no real threat.

OCD manifests itself in recurring, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) that you feel driven to perform in order to relieve your anxiety.

These rituals become essential for managing tension and end up taking up a large part of your daily routine, disrupting your activities and relationships.

▼ You check several times to make sure doors and windows are securely closed.

▼ You spend long minutes repeatedly washing your hands fearing contamination by germs or bacteria.

▼ You return home to check that the lights or appliances are turned off, despite an initial thorough check.

▼ Before performing a task, you feel the need to count or repeat certain gestures in a specific order, with the fear that something bad will happen if you don't.

▼ When arranginf objects, they have to be perfectly symmetrical or orderly; the slightest misalignment causes intense anxiety.

▼ You feel an intense need to clean constantly, making sure every surface is spotless. The slightest trace of dust or mess creates anxiety.
