How could hypnotherapy help you achieve your goals?
Anxiety is a focus on the future combined with an overactive imagination that contemplates things being a way you don’t want them to be. Your brain can’t take the chance that what you are imagining isn’t really happening right now so the fight of flight response is triggered.
Hypnosis in Sheffield for anxiety could help you to interrupt this learned behaviour. This could be interrupted consciously using specific imagination and breathing based techniques.
Hypnotherapy could help you to bring about unconscious changes as well. This is where you are more how you would like to be without trying to be. Your behaviour just happens to be what you would like it to be without consciously trying to make it that way.
Quite often it can be a combination of both conscious and unconscious change.

What Others From Sheffield Say About Me
Ultimately, I realised hypnotherapy isn't what I am looking for but Richard nevertheless gave great advice and showed a real understanding of my issue. With his help I am confident in moving forward and thinking more about the future and less about the past!

Richard was very helpful in helping me understand what may be causing my recurrent nightmares. Even after the initial consultation on the phone and then in person just by talking about the issue and having his input I felt I could control them more effectively. The hypnotherapy was something that I hadn't tried before and I found relaxing and interesting. It has been helpful to go back over the recordings of the sessions again. Richard also had some very sensible suggestions for improving my work life balance and skills / tips to decrease the things that cause me stress to do with my work. Thank you very much Richard.read more

I had suffered from panic attacks regularly in the past due to anxiety, it got to a point where I felt like I couldn't cope anymore. I visited Richard for an initial consultation where he gave me some tips on how to cope until our first session and even that was an unbelievable amount of help. I have had only one session with Richard and I feel as if the anxiety has near enough disappeared from my life. I finally feel like my old self again. Highly recommend, such a lovely man and so easy to get along with, felt like I had known him for years.read more

My problem was weight loss and not having the motivation to do anything about it. I contacted Richard Hennessy and after one chat and one hypnosis session I was on my way. The actual hypnosis was nothing like I imagined. I thought I would go into a trance like in the movies!! I was totally aware of everything the whole time and at the end felt completely relaxed. Before hypnosis I would eat because it was meal time regardless of whether I was hungry, but after, I only eat when I am hungry and I can leave food on my plate instead of clearing it - a flashback to childhood days when you couldn't leave the table until your plate was clear. I had one more recording from Richard, because I couldn't get to another appointment, and don't feel I need anymore. If I feel as if I am slipping back into old ways I listen to the recording and feel fine again. Richard provides a recording of all sessions to take away with you so its not like he is pressuring you to going back again and again.I would fully recommend him to anyone. Thankyou Richard!!read more

I sought help from Richard with regard to anxiety and depression. I was looking for help to clear the 'chatter' in my mind so that I can more easily focus and make progress towards goals that are important to me. I found the deep mindfulness I gained from the sessions helped to clear my mind and give me tools that I can use in everyday situations. I am more able to calm myself for work presentations and better focus on what is needed for my family.I feel like I have tapped into the core of who I am and can now channel my inner energy for postive outcomes for me.The recordings of the sessions were great in helping me continue my practice after my sessions with Richard and his nuturing and assertive style made me feel very comfortable and at ease.read more

Richard may have saved my life! I was smoking 60 cigarettes a day and had no other way to quit. There was not a single thing I wanted to do without smoking and not a single emotion that I didn't associate with smoking. Richard sat with me and talked about all the triggers and issues that I felt, he spent a long time before the session started. Then in the session he made me feel relaxed about everything and confident that we were going to beat the habit. When I came out of the the session, I didn't smoke, and I haven't for over 7 months now. I had tried everything else previously, and he is the only person who has made me feel truly like a non smoker. I hang out with smokers, I go to smokey venues, and I just don't need it myself. He is truly a miracle worker and I am so impressed and grateful for what he did. Thank you Richard, please keep changing people's lives for the better. read more

I saw Richard during the course of four sessions to help me get my weight under control without going on some magic diet. Richard is a lovely, friendly, and knowledgeable person, who made me feel at ease from the word go. The sessions where highly enjoyable and allowed me to explore the inner knowledge and strength that I already possessed but wasn't aware of, by being nudged in the right direction. I immediately saw a change in my eating habits which have resulted steady loss of around 1 kg per week (16 kg in total so far) without much change in what I eat. Through the sessions, I have learn to regain control of my eating and to allow myself to enjoy food again. If you are serious about losing weight and need someone who you can trust to help you, I can HIGHLY recommend hypnotherapy with Richard! Many thanks :)read more

What is your unease based on?
Anxiety is the worrying about things that haven’t yet happened. It tends to be that people can be very anxious about things that have a very small chance of actually happening. In some cases, the low chance of something happening does nothing to reduce the amount of worry it causes.
Anxiety can be a totally normal and natural reaction in certain situations but when it has a negative impact on your life it is time to something about it.
Could feeling this unease actually be useful?
A study has shown that anxiety can actually be useful in some situations. Anxious people pick up on other people’s aggressive facial expressions faster than non-anxious people.
In this kind of social situation, anxiety helps but most of the time anxiety is not required to be at high levels. Hypnosis can help you reduce your stress levels.
What does it feel like when you’ve had those feelings of dread?
I’ve spoken to hundreds of people over the years who have been anxious and I am yet to meet two people who have experienced it identically. There are wide-ranging symptoms which may or may not occur when someone is experiencing anxiety or an anxiety attack.
What many people do experience as part of their anxiety is fear and worry that their symptoms are indicators of something more serious. People often think that they have heart problems because of the palpitations that sometimes happen. This can result in mobile monitoring being used over the course of a few days or weeks. The results from this testing is often the confirmation that there is no heart problem. They are told: “it’s just anxiety”.
This does not match in with their experience though. How could “just anxiety” cause that feeling that was SO unpleasant? It often leas to worry that the doctors have missed something which just fuels more anxiety.
Far from the diagnosis of “just anxiety” helping, it often makes things worse.
What causes the feelings of unease and dread in the first place?
Stress, phobias and panic are common sources of anxiety. All these boil down to what you think. If your thoughts are uncontrolled then anxiety is much more likely. People are creatures of habit. Some only realise that they have developed an unhealthy habit when it is beyond a point that feels manageable.
By then though there has been so much practice of this unhealthy behaviour that it has become familiar and expected, even though it is not helpful and can even be damaging.
What treatments are available?
There are many different treatments which range from medication to talking therapies. Hypnotherapy for anxiety, however, is one of the natural remedies for anxiety and could be the solution you have been looking for.
There are more details below about both medication and non-medication based solutions for anxiety.
Can hypnotherapy really make a difference?
Your anxiousness does a great job of undermining your confidence and sows seeds of doubt about your abilities to change. That is why hypnotherapy can be so effective because it is all about getting you back into that better place.
Many people ask “Does hypnosis work?” The short answer is “It could.” In “The Hypnotherapy Journal” Spring edition 2009 they published that hypnotherapy for anxiety, relating to asthma attacks, had “statistically significant superiority to a placebo.”
My work speaks for itself. To read the reviews of people just like you who were able to beat their anxiety have a look at the page dedicated to anxiety hypnotherapy reviews.
