Anxiety is a widespread concern that affects a notable percentage of people worldwide. A large percentage of the population experiences some form of anxiety and needs help at some point with stress reduction and worry. Fundamentally, anxiety serves as a protective mechanism designed to alert individuals to potential threats. This instinctive response can be beneficial, as it enhances alertness and preparedness when facing danger, thus contributing to personal and communal safety. However, when anxiety becomes chronic or excessive, it transitions into a debilitating response.
Anxiety is marked by intense, sustained fear and anxiety that significantly disrupts everyday activities. Anxiety, unrealistic fears and worry may cause people to avoid flying, driving, and socializing with friends and family. Simply put, while normal anxiety can be a helpful alert system, anxiety that is out of control can hinder one’s ability to function effectively in daily life.
The body’s biological response to perceived threats involves activating the ‘fight, flight, or freeze’ mechanism, which includes the release of hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Hypnotherapy intervenes by reprogramming the subconscious mind’s reaction to perceived threats, thus helping to prevent the activation of this response when it’s not necessary.
Hypnotherapy delves into the subconscious to identify and understand what specifically triggers an individual’s panic attacks or anxiety. By uncovering these triggers, the hypnotist can work with the individual to alter their subconscious reactions to these specific stimuli.
Techniques used in hypnotherapy include the delivery of calming, personalized suggestions that reinforce control and safety. For example, affirmations like feeling in control and promoting calm breathing are utilized to alter subconscious perceptions and reactions during anxiety-inducing situations.
Hypnotherapy works by accessing the subconscious mind where deep-seated fears and triggers reside. Through tailored suggestions, the hypnosis modifies the subconscious reactions to these triggers, thus helping manage the body’s natural responses such as the ‘fight, flight, or freeze’ reaction.
Hypnosis serves as a valuable tool in pinpointing and transforming the underlying causes of fear and anxiety. This technique allows individuals to delve deep into their subconscious, where many of their fears originate. Through hypnosis, a trained hypnotist can guide a person to understand these fears and reshape their perception of them.
**Future Pacing:** This technique helps individuals visualize and experience how they can handle potential stressors differently in the future. By employing these strategies, hypnosis can significantly alter how one responds to situations that previously incited anxiety, leading to more controlled and positive reactions.
Through techniques such as guided imagery and suggestion, hypnosis encourages the mind to perceive fear-inducing scenarios in a new, less threatening way. It effectively ‘rewires’ the emotional response patterns that the subconscious mind follows. Additionally, the practice includes techniques like future pacing, where the person visualizes positive outcomes in anxiety-triggering situations, thereby altering their emotional associations.
Moreover, hypnosis aids in building self-confidence and teaches relaxation strategies. For instance, mastering deep breathing exercises during sessions helps manage anxiety spikes. By fostering a belief in one’s ability to control responses to fear, the person can achieve a stable, calm mindset. Thus, hypnosis not only modifies the subconscious responses but also empowers individuals to maintain these changes in everyday life, promoting a lasting sense of security and well-being.
Understanding Fear and Anxiety When discussing emotions like fear and anxiety, it’s crucial to distinguish between the two, although they may share some physical manifestations. Fear is typically a direct, intense emotional reaction to an imminent threat or danger. It triggers a ‘fight or flight’ response in our bodies, which is meant to help us react to the immediate threat.
Anxiety, on the other hand, is a more sustained, often less specific sensation of distress or unease. It usually relates to worries about future events or a pervasive feeling of dread about things that might go wrong, rather than an immediate danger.
Common Physical Symptoms:
Increased heartbeat: Both fear and anxiety can accelerate your heart rate.
Understanding these differences and how they manifest physically can help in managing their effects more effectively.

*I’m having great success. Came with the idea of being motivated. After 2 sessions I haven’t had any potato chips, and cut back on saltines. Those were biggies for me. Went to our favorite restaurant and ordered water. That’s major. I’m more self confident and very proud of myself. And close to being motivated to exercise.
*I went to Tammy to get relief from a life-long terror of bridges. After just two sessions, I was less anxious when crossing bridges. After the third session, I was able to ride across the Skyway bridge (which previously had put me in a huddle on the floor of the car) and even look out at the water without being afraid. Thank you, Tammy!
*I had an excellent experience. Tammy is professional, kind and full of positive energy. I highly recommend her you want to quit smoking.
*After two stop smoking treatments I feel great! More relaxed in general than I have felt in some time. Tammy is so fantastic! She’s funny, inviting, engaging… Most of all supportive and comforting. I’m terribly excited for my last appointment tomorrow and looking forward to a smoke free lunch life! Thank you so much Tammy!

Tammy has done an incredible job helping me overcome so many things over the years after a traumatic accident that I had. We’ve worked on better speech, confidence, losing weight, eating healthy, and she’s even helped me overcome porn addition!!! Wow! I thought that would be impossible and just a few sessions and I have ZERO drive to watch porn. As a man, that’s huge, and my libido and confidence are UP afterwards!!
*SUCCESS!!!
I went to see Tammy in pure desperation in order to stop smoking. I had tried everything. I was apprehensive after my first session as I continued to smoke. After my 3rd session with Tammy, I am now a permanent non-smoker! This is my 23rd day! Tammy, you have changed my life forever! My family and I are so thankful! I have bought a treadmill with the money I am saving on the poison!!! You have changed my life!
*I needed to see Tammy to control my stress and for weight loss. I had gained a lot in the past year. After talking with her at the consultation, she had already given me “homework” to help with the session I schedule for a week later. The actual session was VERY pleasant. I felt wonderful after I left. I noticed changes the next day. I was not eating as much and felt a sense of well being. I will definitely go back to her!
*Was having trouble staying focused and also the stress levels that I experienced were becoming overwhelming. Thanks to a session with Tammy, these problems are starting to abate. She has given me techniques to continue fighting these two problems. Whatever problems you might be experiencing, Tammy can help you overcome them. TAMMY IS THE GREATEST!!!
