Anxiety Control Center

This a continuation of the post about hypnosis for anxiety, worry and fear.

Of course, the question remains, how do you know if hypnosis is right for you? And, what do I do if it isn’t?

The truth is that almost everyone can be hypnotized.  I tell my clients that if they can be curious, have an open mind and want to overcome the challenge or issue they are facing, there is hope, change can happen.  In our private sessions at the Anxiety Control Center, and in our online coaching workshops we give you the questions you need to find the techniques that will work best for you.

If you’re not comfortable with hypnosis, DON’T WORRY.  You can still overcome a challenge,  though it may take longer.  Sometimes, for some people, the long way around is what works.  Before starting therapy it is always good to ask us questions and talk about any concerns.  In this way we can evaluate you as an individual and help you to make educated choices.

Let’s look at why I so highly recommend using the techniques that are in the Anxiety Control Center’s Transformation System.  . . .  to be continued tomorrow.

Have you been suffering from depression and feeling hopeless?  Have you tried
but don’t know how to change these feelings?

Are you wishing for something, some “guiding light,” some technique, anything
that’s will help you to get out from under the dark spell of depression?  I want you
to know that here is hope !  I have a step-by-step plan of actions for you to take.
They are it easy to follow, because I know that when you are depressed it’s difficult
to concentrate or to have energy to even read a short article.

I realize that when you are depressed and your energy is depleted it might be hard
to even get out of bed, not to mention reading an article on how to get relief.  So to
make this even easier, I give you a link to a video that will guide you through the
first action step.

So, please, read on and take action, by going to watch the video today.  Take the
first step in changing your life today.     The link is at the bottom of this article.

My name is Audrey Sussman and for over the past 25 years I have helped my
clients to find a way to move themselves from feeling depressed and hopeless,
to feeling optimism and energy.

The first step is simple. It is something so easy to do that you can even do it from
the bed or the chair you are sitting in. So I’ll keep this to just the first step.

In the days and weeks to come, I’ll give you the next steps.  If you follow the
step-by-step plan, you might even surprise yourself as you begin to look forward
to doing the next small step.  Keeping it simple, taking tiny steps moves you in
the direction of hope, until one day you notice you are thinking and feeling
differently.

So, for you who are suffering with depression, worry, or loss of hope, lets start
with the first easy step, and it’s something that only requires your doing something
you are doing anyway.  This is it: Changing your breathing pattern.   This is a
physical or behavioral technique to change your state of mind.  There are other
techniques to deal with negative thoughts and emotions, but we need to start with
the 1st step first.

Go to actionendsprocrastination.com and watch the video.  I’ll guide your through
and give you tips for making it even more successful.  Practice it every day for the
next two weeks, and stay curious.

If you would rather have the written directions, put in your name and email
in the box on the right of this post to download the directions.

That’s it for today.  Start with the first behavioral change, and you’ll be preparing
yourself for the next step, I’ll be giving you.   See you soon,

Audrey

Another happy student finds his way to using what used to trigger an anxiety response to a new positive way of “hearing” things.
Hi Audrey,  Just wanted to let you know how the techniques are working for me.  I’m looking forward to the next online coaching class starting.

In the past what others though of me could bring me “up or down” in how I felt about myself.  I converted that and am using it in a more helpful way.   I imagine a “part of myself” and “hear it saying” an “I like the way you dress” and start to get the good feelings.  If I make a mistake instead of coming down on myself I now imagine the “part as a person” saying  “yes, you made a mistake, your human, you’re a good person” and the one I use a lot is the part saying, “I accept and love you even when someone rejects you.”

Now it’s like I’m taking in my opinions about myself (with the perspective of it’s someone else giving their opinions about me), which helps that part of me to feel comfortable and feel accepted no matter what.

Just received an email from one of my online coaching students.  We are on a break right now till April, so I’ll be posting the answers to questions for my students.

Question:
I have been using the “finger touch anchor” you taught us,
it was working great for creating a calm state for a few months.

But lately when I try to use the technique it doesn’t work.
I’m touching my fingers together just like you showed us,
but my anxiety doesn’t stop, I’m not getting the change
I was hoping for.

Is it the same thing as “trying” to do something, when I
hope the technique will work?

I know you told us not to “try” to do an exercise or technique.
I even wrote down what you said, “Just do the exercise and see
what happens, don’t try to make anything happen”.
So what can I do to change what I’m doing so the
techniques work again?

I’m think that I’m having trouble understanding
what it meant by not “trying” to do something.

In my mind there are very rare times when I just ”do.”
Most of the time I’m trying to crochet, or sew, or cook.

I believe it has something to do with my
ex-friend telling me “you’re not trying hard enough”

Answer: Dear “C ”
The interesting thing is that when you ARE cooking,
crocheting or sewing you are DOING not “trying.”

That is why you find a cooked meal, or a finished sewing project.
If you were just “trying” you wouldn’t find a finished project.

To TRY means you aren’t actually doing.

I know it seems to be a  play on words but it is more than that.

On the other hand when you “try” to bring up a good memory
and it doesn’t happen,  it is possible that it is because you are trying to make the technique work.

1. Instead just touch your fingers and seeing what happens.
2. Once an anchor is set, if it doesn’t seem strong enough we can
always add a “stacking” technique to make the anchor stronger.

There are a number of reasons that a technique stops working.

1. Trying to make it work.

2. It might be that you need to set a stronger “anchor”
for the issue you are working on.

3. Or there may be deeper issues that need to be released first.

What you can do now:

1. Listen to the mp3 from our session on setting “finger touch anchors”.
2. Just repeat the “anchoring process” and see what happens.
3. Action plans are under the tab at the top “online coaching sessions”.
4. Remember to stay curious instead of trying to make it happen.
5. The unconscious part of your mind has amazing resources waiting to be tapped into.

And as to what your x-friend told you “that you weren’t trying hard enough”.
How would s/he know anyway what you were doing or not doing.
You are an amazing person and we have both seen the changes you have
made over the last months you have been with me on the coaching calls.

When a person has anxiety, it has nothing to do with how hard they are trying
to get rid of it.  It has more to do with learning what will work best to take
the anxiety down. Releasing old “junk”.  And learning what triggers anxiety and panic.

“Trying” to do a technique typically will make anxiety go up.
For this to work best you don’t have to  “work so hard.”
Instead perhaps use the technique and be curious about what changes or doesn’t.

This is a just a quick answer to a complex question.  Hope it helps for now.

Audrey
