Health Anxiety: A real life breaker

What sickness will you have next?

“Oh no something feels wrong in my chest.  My lungs seem to be working differently-ugghh- I’m not breathing like I could yesterday.  My chin is numb and so are the tips of my fingers.  What could it be that is taking me over?”  For people living with health anxiety, this is the thought process every minute of every day and it is debilitating.

People that suffer and live with health anxiety, look at every little change in their body and mind and then go to google and look up what health problem could be causing that change. 

Sometimes there isn’t even a change except in the mind.  If you have never lived with this type of anxiety then this will seem quite far fetched to you, but if you think you are developing ASL, MS, stomach ulcers, cancer, HIV, or heart attack but your conscious mind tells you to 'get a grip" then you may need help to manage the real issue.  Anxiety.

People living with health anxiety fully believe that any harmless physical presentations are going to lead to horrible and serious disease and illness which are untreatable.  Imagine being unable to look objectively at the normal workings of your body and living with a constant fear of life threatening illness.

The good news is that Clinical Hypnotherapy can help reduce the symptoms of health anxiety.  When we work with relaxation we create an atmosphere within our body where good endorphins can influence thinking in a more positive way.  By reducing tension we create better clearer thinking and by building confidence we learn to trust our bodies.  

Prescription drugs have a place yet they don’t need to be the first port of call.  Your body and mind have a tremendous ability to change, modify and adapt to give you what you need: a wonderful happy satisfying life.

Teenage Anxiety: Contact Scope Hypnosis for help

It doesn't have to be this way!

As a society we have a very real problem with our teens and young people.  Contrary to all the spelling and grammar errors education is only a small part of the issue with our teens. The message in these posts taken off just one internet website is clear.  Our teens are suffering with an ever growing problem...anxiety!  Read some posts below taken as is from the web:

“Am I depresed? I think this because I've been sad for the pass to months. I've been cutting. I've cut my whole uper body. No one can help. I'm keep having sucidal thoughts. I am 15. I'm called "I'm such a bad friend. " "I'm a fake friend." "I'm not good enough." "I don't need you anymore". I don't get it I try my best to be kind. I can't take it anymore so I'm just so antisocial now. I keep cutting because it makes me feel better. I don't know what's wrong with me”

“Hi! I'm a 13 year old girl with obsessive compulsive disorder by the way. I've felt this way for three years. It's come to a point where I can't go to school because I can't focus, I'm to sad to socialize, I mean I go into the library on brake to read. I have about one friend and having no friends honestly doesn't bother me that much. I'm happy to be my own "best friend" Anytime I'm around people they just are really terrible and everything. They f!cking joked about 9/11 on 9/11, they joke about slavery, they are racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and everything else in between.”

“My life is falling apart (I'm 14)? Basically, my biology teacher just gave me a 35 when I've turned in all my work and when she gave them back they were at least A's or B's. Another thing that is scaring me is my mom keeps yellig at me for no reason, screaming at me and calling me names. I'm so sick of it. Sometimes I'll cry myself to sleep if it upsets me enough, and now I'm losing weight and it's starting to scare me. Please help! I'm starting to get really depressed”

“I feel worthless, like anything i do will never be enough for this world? i like drawing, writing stories, making videos. but none of those fun things will ever compare to the great artists and cartoon artists, amazing writers, and famous youtubers. i will never become them. i cant make a living out of those hobbies. im 14 and im useless, everybody keeps telling me to start thinking now about what i will be and i just cant think about it i an literally good at nothing.”

Does your teen meet some of these signs of excessive anxiety:

• Your teen feels anxious, worried, or afraid for no reason at all. 
• Your teen worries too much about everyday events or activities. 
• Your teen continually checks whether they did something right or wrong. 
• Your teen is so panicky they unable to function in certain specific situations -- like taking tests or socializing with friends.

The time is now to help our children. Recognise the signs of depression and anxiety and make a call to action. With using relaxation and teaching self-hypnosis we can offer troubled teens help for the daily issues they face. We need our teens to grow up to be happy confident resilient adults who strive for getting the best out of life.

If we don’t help our children to grow and be confident then our whole society will fall apart.  These are our leaders of the future and we need to nurture and care for them.  If you have a teen that needs some support and strategies for getting control of anxiety and teen stress then consult with me and I will help you to help your child. In our modern world help is widely available and with our teens being very computer friendly, SKYPE sessions are easily conducted within your home.  

Help me to help change the world by improving one life at time; the life of your teen!  Stop this anxiety in it’s tracks.
