Most people consider that anxiety problems are all in the mind. Nevertheless, if you get a closer look at what anxious individuals experience, you will see that their anxiety also reaches out to the physical level. That is because anxiety is a normal reaction of the body when it becomes anxious. It activates the fight-or-flight response, preparing the body for action. It is like setting up oneself on survival mode.
A lot of bodily changes happen during anxiety. The body gives off a hormone known as adrenaline, which in turn gives the person an "adrenaline rush." If you have felt this, you likely have experienced as if your heart is pumping furiously within your rib cage. Your breathing also becomes fast, enabling you to fill your lungs with oxygen. Your sensations become more aware, and you become more irritable to the changes in your environment. You break into a sweat in your body's attempt to cool down. If you were previously hungry, you will notice that this will not bother you anymore as the blood in your digestive system is deviated to the other systems that are more necessary by the body at that time. These are natural responses to stress, although it may feel terrifying and unpleasant.
However, this becomes a problem when this kind of anxiety already intervenes with one's life. It is one thing to be upset about, say, a sports competition or a natural catastrophe. But then, people with anxiety problems go through these symptoms even during situations that are normally not deemed to be stressful. For example, being anxious about going to a party and mingling with other people to the point that you cannot think straight and you feel as if you cannot breathe is apparently an anxiety trouble. Needless to say, anxiety can have a big effect not just in your life but also in the way that you interact with others. This can result to low self-esteem, social estrangement, and even medical illnesses.
If you are experiencing these anxiety or scares, it is time to get a hold of yourself and try to process overcoming this anxiety. One technique that you can use is rest therapy. This enables your body to stay calm during trying situations and thus avoid the uncomfortable symptoms of anxiety.
One of the most standard relaxation therapies being used for anxiety these days is hypnosis. In hypnosis, the hypnotherapist assists the person to enter a state of trance-like awareness in order for the person to feel calm and relaxed. A hypnotherapist can have different approaches when it comes to anxiety hypnosis. He can suggest to the person in a comfy voice to release all physical, mental and emotional tension and to do some respiration exercises. He can also employ the progressive relaxation technique, focusing on relaxing various muscle groups first until all the muscles are made relaxed. Imagery techniques can also be used in hypnosis for anxiety, as well as touch therapy, if the person is comfy with the thought.
