If you are suffering from generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), you may be finding excessive and persistent worry and anxiety overwhelming. Or maybe you feel a milder nagging anxiety most days. It can feel like a sense of dread, an uneasiness, or a free-floating anxiety.
If you are looking for therapy for GAD, you might be wondering what the best treatment for GAD is, and if hypnotherapy for generalised anxiety disorder can help you to gain lasting relief.
As a specialist in anxiety and anxiety disorders, I provide effective treatment for generalised anxiety disorder. I use the most effective holistic approaches.
You may have had treatment for GAD before, such as with CBT, and are still trying to cope with high levels of anxiety. It’s completely possible for you to fully overcome GAD with the right approach for you.
You may be finding it hard to switch off and relax. Your mind may be almost constantly on guard for the next thing to worry about, and it can lead you to feel mentally and physically exhausted.
Perhaps you are worried about a number of issues or situations, and as one thing seems to be resolved you find something else to worry about.
Or maybe you find it hard to pinpoint exactly what has caused you to feel anxious, and you just feel that something’s not right.
Although it can be a long-term issue if left untreated, it can be overcome with the right approach for you. I use highly effective techniques to help people to overcome anxiety issues of all kinds.
As a specialist in anxiety issues, including GAD and having experienced prolonged and severe generlised anxiety myself many years ago, I love to help people to become free of it.
Experiencing Anxiety?
If you are experiencing any kind of anxiety, whether it’s frequent and overwhelming, or just about specific situations, or linked to specific fears, I can help you overcome your issues.
What is generalised anxiety disorder?
GAD is a state of chronic anxiety where the anxiety has become generalised. It's when you feel persistently anxious and worried a lot of the time about many things rather than just specific issues or situations. You may feel anxious even when you have no obvious reasons to worry, and you may find your mind spiralling into more and more anxiety and negative thoughts.
GAD is when your nervous system has become overstimulated and is on hyper alert, which keeps you in an anxious state and you become easily trigged to worry about many things.
Unlike a specific fear or phobia where you just feel anxious about a specific thing or situation, GAD is a more chronically anxious state that gives you a feeling of unease or dread that persists in your daily life, or most days to varying degrees.
A fear or phobia can lead to GAD if you have a lot of focus on your feared object or situation. Examples might be, if you have agoraphobia, or you are constantly worrying about social situations as in social anxiety, or constanly worrying about your health, or if you frequently have panic attacks and you are always worryinng about having another one.
If you have had very stressful or traumatic experiences in the past or have some ongoing issues or situations that you find very stressful and anxiety provoking, then that can also lead you to develop GAD. However, these issues are resolvable with the right approach for you.
As GAD effects both your mind and body it leads you to experience physical as well as mental and emotional symptoms. It reduces your overall vitality, affects your sleep, and can make you feel physically exhausted.
The almost constant worry, rumination and anxiety can lead to depression for some people, and it's common for people to exerience GAD and depression together. It's also common for people to experience GAD and OCD together as each feeds the other. Depression and OCD are both issues that I help clients to overcome.
