What is Anxiety?
Everybody experiences stress and worries from time to time but persistent high levels of anxiety affects millions of people. Anxiety is a natural response to stress, but it becomes an issue when anxiety is a daily response to ordinary events. It can become hard to control worrying thoughts and anxious feelings can then become chronic.
History of Anxiety
Anxiety is an emotion that arises as a result of an important physiological response that helps to protect us by triggering an appropriate response to danger. Hormones and neurotransmitters are secreted in service of the ‘fight-flight-freeze’ defence mechanism that enables us – and other organisms – to be alert and respond to threats. We may become aggressive, or avoid it and run, or stay rooted to the spot (an old trick to fool predators on the lookout for movement). Often accompanied by heightened arousal, muscular tension, restlessness, fatigue, breathlessness, nausea, and problems in concentration this response can persist beyond appropriate time-periods in response to specific events, and thereby develop into an anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorders are not uncommon: about one in six will experience an anxiety disorder at some point . If you suffer from anxiety, you may or may not be able to pinpoint the cause. Either way, Mona can offer help by using a number of different tailored forms of treatment including cognitive behavioural therapy and hypnotherapy.
Anxiety Symptoms
Anxiety symptoms vary a lot according to each individual’s response to stress. Common symptoms include:
- Uncontrollable worry, fretting or dread
- Procrastination or avoiding certain things
- Intrusive thoughts
- Difficulty concentrating
- Difficulty sleeping
- Feeling sick
- Tightness in your chest or throat
- Coping mechanisms such as comfort eating, alcohol, smoking, shopping, or drug use
- Constantly seeking reassurance from those around you, but being unable to let this assurance impact your fears
- Panic attacks
- Shaking
- Palpitations

The Roots of Anxiety
Anxiety itself can be a symptom of other conditions including phobias, panic disorder, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) and social anxiety disorder. It can however, be a condition in itself known as generalised anxiety disorder.
Mona Hansen can provide effective relief from generalised anxiety, as well as anxiety in the form of constant internal chatter (or ‘looping’ – going round and round in circles with no resolution), specific worries, performance anxiety and social anxiety.
Anxiety Therapy
The benefits of therapy and hypnotherapy for anxiety are huge. Every individual will see change in a unique way, according to the symptoms they previously experienced. With treatment from Mona, you can get relief from your anxiety and the effect this has upon your life. Benefits of therapy and hypnotherapy include:
- Improved sleep patterns
- More energy and concentration
- Being less distracted, more at peace and able to enjoy life
- Feeling confident, calm and secure
Hypnotherapy for Anxiety
Part of combined therapy treatment often involves hypnotherapy for anxiety. Anxiety disorder rarely comes from a logical place in the brain (even if it began as a logical response), and therefore requires more than traditional counselling to treat it effectively. Hypnotherapy allows you to relax and access the parts of your mind where the anxiety comes from, allowing for effective treatment.
