Hypnosis, or “hypnotherapy” is a highly effective tool for the reduction and elimination of anxiety. While many are unfamiliar with this extremely safe and effective method of care (or may even fear it out of a misunderstanding of its use and definition), hypnosis has been used for well over 100 years as an accepted medical intervention for anxiety and a host of other issues. Hypnosis relies upon the fact that our minds are comprised of both a conscious and a subconscious component. The subconscious, that part of our mental activity which is outside of our conscious awareness, holds great power in determining our actions and reactions. Our unexamined fears, beliefs, habits, and attitudes reside in the subconscious, and behavioral or emotional change requires that we communicate with and influence that part of the mind. This is why most people have a difficult time quitting smoking, losing weight, or maintaining an exercise regime. While they may desire these changes at the conscious level, their subconscious has not yet been convinced of the necessity for these changes. Hypnosis allows us to bypass the conscious and speak directly to the subconscious, making change not only possible, but easy. Regarding anxiety, much of your suffering is linked directly with thoughts and emotions below the surface of your conscious awareness. In fact, many people are mystified by why they feel anxiety in situations where their conscious minds tell them that there’s no danger. While it’s puzzling to the sufferer, the anxiety they feel is quite explainable when you consider the contribution of unconscious thought. Once we impact the subconscious and rewire the nerve pathways that lead to anxiety, much if not all of it stops, leaving the individual free from what might have been a life of suffering. Hypnosis is one of the most powerful ways to deal with anxiety, and coupled with the other tools used in Dr. Taubman’s work, it has the power to change your life forever.
