Anxiety: Being Aware And Acceptance of Anxiety
In many cases of anxiety reduction, you are learning how to interrupt, reduce and deal effectively with the anxious thoughts and feelings that had been causing you so much despair and discomfort. Learning how to regulate emotions effectively means that you aren’t overwhelmed by anxiety.
Finding effective ways to control your thinking means you can disengage from anxious thoughts, dispute them, block them or just find yourself thinking more along the kind of lines you would wish to. As you learn how to direct, control and calm your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, you will find yourself feeling better and staying that way.
All too often, because of the uncomfortable anxious thoughts and feelings, it can become a battle inside your own head and body. You don’t want the anxiety and so you engage in it and try and fight it and suppress it. That inner battle, fight, frustration and stress can inadvertently add to the anxiety and leave you feeling worse and feeling like you’ll never find a way to feel better. You try to suppress your anxiety and you find yourself feeling even worse. This is where approaches, such as mindfulness hypnosis, can really help.
By accepting the thoughts and feelings, instead of getting angry and frustrated, you weaken them and they pass quicker. you learn how to notice them, observe them, and have the ability to calmly and confidently carry on with things. You become an expert at successful emotional regulation and being at peace inside your own head.
The Effectiveness of Hypnotherapy as a Treatment For Anxiety
Hypnotherapy is a very effective treatment for anxiety. Scientific evidence supports the overall effectiveness of hypnosis as a treatment for anxiety, with the research demonstrating that hypnosis is a highly effective intervention for anxiety (Valentine et al, 2019).
The findings of the research showed that hypnosis is a highly effective intervention for anxiety. They found that the average participant treated with hypnosis achieved more anxiety reduction than about 79% of control participants at the end of active treatment and about 84% of controls at the longest follow-up.
And it’s always worth being reminded that hypnosis adds to the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy (Ramondo et al, 2021). Using hypnotherapy, therefore, it is very possible to reduce the anxious thoughts and feelings that you have been experiencing. Instead you can find yourself feeling more calm, relaxed, comfortable and ease.
Mindfulness For Anxiety
Mindfulness based programmes have become more popular and widespread over recent years. Research has found that, compared with taking no action, mindfulness based programmes can help with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression (Galante et al, 2021).
Given that mindfulness does seem to help many people with anxiety and stress, it’s certainly worth utilising it alongside other therapeutic approaches you may be taking to support your mental health. And given that we know that hypnosis is strong scientific evidence to support its effectiveness, what happens when you combine mindfulness with hypnosis to help you tackle your anxiety and stress?
Well, again, we have scientific research that shows that if you combine mindfulness and hypnosis together, it can help you with anxiety and stress. In their study, Olendzki et al (2020) found that mindful hypnotherapy participants recorded large, statistically reliable, and clinically significant improvements in perceived stress, and reductions in psychological distress such as depression, hopelessness, anxiety, and anger. Using mindful hypnotherapy can be an effective way that you can significantly decrease psychological anxiety, distress and stress.
It’s perhaps no wonder then, that so many of my clients benefit from incorporating elements of mindfulness into their hypnosis sessions for anxiety.
Being Aware of Anxiety
The acceptance approach involves you to notice, accept, and sometimes even embrace your thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to fight them or avoid them. Becoming more accepting of them, building upon the positive research into hypnosis and mindfulness, can help you to reduce your anxiety
Learning how to effectively regulate your emotions is a key part of developing psychological resilience and the ability to handle challenges that come your way in life. Without this ability to manage emotions, you can experience uncomfortable and persistent emotions, such as excessive anxiety. Rather than being able to deal with your thoughts and feelings, you may try and suppress them, avoid them or use other strategies to try and cope with the negative thoughts, feelings and sensations. That suppression and avoidance of anxiety can often have a counterproductive effect of increasing your anxious thoughts and feelings.
Campbell-Sills et al (2005) investigated the subjective and physiological effects of emotional suppression and acceptance in a sample of individuals with anxiety and mood disorders. Participants with anxiety and mood disorders were randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group listened to a rationale for suppressing emotions, and the other group listened to a rationale for accepting emotions. Participants then watched an emotion-provoking film and applied the instructions (to suppress or accept their emotions).
Both groups reported similar levels of subjective distress during the film, providing evidence that, despite it’s aim of doing so when used, suppression is ineffective at diminishing the experience of negative emotion. In addition, the suppression group displayed more negative feelings afterwards, compared to the acceptance group. Emotional suppression, rather than acceptance, did not alleviate distress in individuals with anxiety and mood disorders.
There is also some evidence that supports acceptance therapy approaches being as effective as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for people with anxiety (Forman et al, 2007, Arch et al, 2012). As highlighted above, adding hypnosis to cognitive behavioural therapy tends to improve it’s effectiveness.
If you struggle with anxiety then you are likely to negatively evaluate internal experiences such as thoughts, emotions, and physiological sensations, and will use thinking and behavioural strategies, as a means of escaping or avoiding these experiences. Roemer et al (2008) examined the efficacy of an acceptance-based behavioural therapy, aimed at increasing acceptance of internal experiences and encouraging action in valued domains, for people with generalised anxiety disorder. They found that acceptance based therapy led to statistically significant reductions in anxiety symptoms that were maintained at three and nine month follow-up assessments; significant reductions in depressive symptoms were also observed. The treatment was associated with decreases in experiential avoidance and increases in mindfulness.
The evidence here supports the use of an acceptance based approach for anxiety, whereby you seek to experience your emotions, thoughts, and bodily sensations without trying to change, control, or avoid them.
