Anxiety

You can improve your effectiveness and avoid burnout

Over six million people in this country suffer from uncontrollable fear that causes them to be anxiety-ridden and to have what is known as a “stressful personality.” This type of personality may be expressed in a variety of behavior patterns that may become so restrictive that they ruin a person's life.

Symptoms may include a gnawing fear that something terrible is about to happen, a sudden wave of panic with rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, breaking out in a cold sweat, and a feeling of impending death. These attacks can be triggered by large crowded places such as theaters, supermarkets, restaurants, or churches and are accompanied by an overwhelming need to get out.

Treatment for Stress and Anxiety problems are usually completed in 12-20 visits at Applied Behavioral Health Care. Sessions are generally scheduled weekly and last approximately one to two hours. The second session consists of teaching hypnosis and determining how we can best work together. The next three or four sessions may well be diagnostic, helping to pinpoint the origin of the stressful personality, remove the negative thoughts, and replace them with positive thought patterns.

Fears and Phobias

Medical Hypnoanalysis Can Set You Free!

One of the most common reasons people visit a Medical Hypnoanalyst is to overcome fears or phobias. Fears are a natural part of life. Everyone fears something such as being robbed, or being hurt in an accident. This type of fear is not necessarily bad; as it may prompt someone to take precautions, such as locking doors or wearing safety belts.

Most fears develop during childhood, but fears can develop during adulthood. Some fears that develop in adulthood are caused by chemical imbalances such as a hypoglycemic reaction, but many are the results of repressed memories. One indication of whether fear is physical or psychological is the duration of the reaction. Psychological reactions are usually triggered by anticipation and become less intense once the anticipated event begins. Physical reactions tend to become more intense once the event begins.

Fears often emanate from apprehension of impending danger. Fear of loss of control is primitive, but also common, especially in phobia cases. Fear of fear itself can be debilitating. Hypnotic suggestions can replace catastrophic thoughts with truthful facts explaining existing problems. Exposing the causes can diminish anxieties and alleviate symptoms, relieving distress.

Once a sense of control is established, repeatedly confronting the fear through Medical Hypnoanalysis quickly reduces, and soon eliminates the fear.

Stories and comic strips have featured dental offices as chambers of horrors. Some parents have even threatened children with dental appointments as punishment-“If you don't brush your teeth you'll have to go to the dentist!” Dentists appear constantly to get a bum rap.
