DEBBIE MANDEL: Greetings everyone. I'm Debbie Mandel, a stress management specialist and author of "Addicted to Stress." In this clip, we're going to talk about how to use hypnotherapy for anxiety. Anxiety is an intense fear that your imagination has conjured up and you get all the physical accompaniments, your heart might race, your breathing becomes shallow. Hypnosis is highly effective in getting you to reset to your normal response so that you can have a good peaceful set point. Hypnosis, if it's done properly takes you into your body and will address moving the anxiety out through your body with guided imagery and counting so that you can be in a state of total relaxation to let it go. Counting along with guided imagery is very helpful in hypnotherapy like taking 20 steps in a garden. To remember these five points for hypnotherapy to reduce anxiety: number one, you are experiencing a fear from an imagination that has run wild; number two, hypnosis will relax you to reset to your normal response; number three, hypnosis should address the body part where you feel your anxiety with guided imagery; number four, direct suggestions for total body relaxation and letting go are very helpful; number five, counting along with guided imagery to achieve relaxation is a wonderful synergy.
