LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorder in the U.S., with over 40 million adults affected each year. Stress and anxiety can affect everyone, but when symptoms interfere with everyday life, seeking professional help is essential to learn to manage and live a better quality of life.

Celebrating National Stress Awareness Month in April is an opportunity for organizations and psychological professionals to raise awareness of the devastating toll that anxiety and stress takes on our population every year. It serves as a platform for education to let people know there are a variety of viable therapeutic solutions that can be utilized to understand and manage this epidemic.

“Hypnotherapy has been widely studied and found to be a useful therapy for anxiety management and treatment,” said Selena Traytel, a certified clinical hypnotherapist and founder of Zenful Wellness by Selena. “It is safe and effective, and we see good results with our clients much quicker than with other treatment modalities, including cognitive behavior therapy.”

Clinicians generally agree that hypnosis can be used as a powerful and effective technique for treating people with a wide range of psychological disorders with positive outcomes.

Selena Traytel explains how the use of hypnotherapy can enhance life and well-being for those with long-standing anxiety and stress.

1) Hypnosis helps rewire the mind to stop any triggering thoughts in its tracks. The mind is being re-taught to relax and use breathing techniques during times of extreme stress or panic feelings. Clients can then use the calming techniques that they have accomplished during hypnotherapy sessions. Once the mind starts to understand “I am okay and I can complete any task,” it will automatically send stop signals that will diminish anxiety levels.

2) Hypnotherapy is a faster way to get to the root cause of the issue and heal the cause of the anxiety. Most of the time, the brain is in fight or flight mode which helps to protect itself from any pain that causes anxiety. Hypnotic techniques are used to imagine in the mind’s eye, healing the client from within. As we connect this to the subconscious mind, it creates a permanent release for future anxiety. In other words, it provides instant relief.

3) Hypnosis can also help release the past and negative emotions that create stress. This is done with imagery to create an image of a more confident persona. By creating positive thoughts in and intentions in the mind, it releases the tension all over the body.

4) Hypnotherapy can help provide better sleep for those suffering with anxiety as it relaxes a stressful mind. During the session, clients are taught to self-soothe and self-hypnotize as the body and mind are always in full awareness. Releasing stress and turning negatives into positives in the mind’s eye is beneficial during waking hours so they can feel refreshed, happy, and ready to start the day.

5) Hypnosis is also used to focus the mind and can be an effective way to learn to relax. When going into a calm state of relaxation, the mind starts to rewire itself, relieving pain and reducing anxiety. The clients’ mood instantly improves as new skills are learned and alternative perspectives on life are acquired.

“In hypnotherapy, as we create a state of deep relaxation and focused concentration, it allows a person to disregard ordinary distractions and be more open to guided suggestions to make changes that can improve their health by reduce anxiety and stress,” added Traytel. “With the prevalence of debilitating anxiety in our population, Stress Awareness Month reinforces the importance of learning about treatment options that have the power to reduce anxiety and ultimately yield long-term health and family benefits.”
