General anxiety disorder is something that affects a significant amount of the population. Everyone is anxious about something, but it can become a more profound experience as anxiety starts to take over for others. In this case, you may feel anxious even though there isn’t necessarily any logical reason to feel that way. Worse yet, your mind begins to play tricks on you.
You start to think about worst-case scenarios, and you believe that those scenarios are going to happen at any moment. It’s almost like your mind goes into overdrive, thinking only about the things that make you the most nervous. Even though those things might not have actually happened, they’ve already happened in your mind. This causes you a great deal of anxiety.
This, in turn, can do a number on your health due to changes in eating and sleeping habits, an increase in blood pressure and heart rate and a severely impaired immune system, all thanks to the stress brought on by anxiety. Conversely, hypnosis can break that chain so that your mind doesn’t play those tricks on you. Before you know it, you can begin to think about things in a more positive light and stop feeling fearful about any number of things that haven’t even happened yet.
