With anxiety come feelings, thoughts and physical symptoms. What are some of the anxious thoughts? There are 11 major fears (Burns, 1989):
- difficulty concentrating
- racing thoughts or mind jumping from one thing to another
- frightening fantasies or daydreams
- feeling that you’re on the verge of losing control
- fears of cracking up or going crazy
- fears of fainting or passing out
- fears of physical illnesses or heart attacks or dying
- concerns about looking foolish or inadequate in front of others
- fears of being alone, isolated, or abandoned
- fears of disapproval or criticism
- fears that something terrible is about to happen
If you have any of these moderately or often, then you might be experiencing anxiety. Did you know that hypnosis can help with many of these symptoms? If you think I might be able to help, please contact me.
