Hypnotherapist Olga Willemsen gives tips to overcome fear without medication
The Hague, 24 May 2022 / EZPress / – In recent years, anxiety has become the most important mental illness in the world, affecting 300 million people. When left to its own devices, anxiety can cause complications such as depression, panic attacks, and burnout. Olga Willemsen, hypnotherapist and founder of the private mental health practice New Empowered You, shares her knowledge on this subject and provides insight into the effective treatment of anxiety without medication.
According to Our World in Data, 4% of the population suffers from anxiety disorders. Types of anxiety disorders range from generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and social anxiety disorder. Anxiety can be caused by certain medical conditions such as autoimmune diseases or cancer. The symptoms can range in intensity from mild to severe, leading to panic attacks.
Although pharmacological treatment with antianxiety drugs has proven its effectiveness, there are limitations to the method. These limitations include anti-anxiety effects comparable to placebo, side effects, as well as dependence and withdrawal symptoms. Some psychotherapies, including hypnotherapy, serve as viable alternatives to pharmacological anxiety treatments, due to their scientifically proven effectiveness and lack of side effects.
In addition to pharmacological treatment, psychological and combined treatments are gaining popularity. Popular psychotherapies for anxiety include mindfulness, relaxation, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Not all of these methods have a lasting effect, except hypnotherapy, which can also be combined with other types of treatment, such as pharmacological.
In Olga Willemsen’s practice, clients’ anxiety concerns are addressed through individual transformational hypnotherapy sessions coupled with coaching. Olga Willemsen testifies that such an approach combines the most effective methods and enables a quick and lasting recovery.
What is fear and what causes it?
Anxiety is a state of nervous system arousal that is activated in response to situations that generate fear and uncertainty. Although most people experience fear as unpleasant, this emotion has a very important function. Fear triggers survival mechanisms. It heightens our sense of unease and alerts us to potential dangers to our survival so that we take action and get to safety.
Olga Willemsen explains that our brains are programmed by default to look for alarming signals and potential dangers to our survival in the outside world. It applies to every living being, including humans. That means we instinctively tend to notice negative events and focus our attention on them. At the same time, positive events escape our attention more quickly, while our perception of the negative may be exaggerated.
In this way, the human perception of reality (which is neutral) is constantly distorted and biased towards attention to negative events. Paradoxically, this tendency toward negativity undermines our confidence and self-esteem and increases self-doubt.
This tendency to focus on the negative is reinforced by negative childhood events that trigger unconscious limiting beliefs. Those limiting beliefs are the root cause of heightened anxiety. If the root of self-doubt is left untouched, anxiety becomes a self-limiting belief and can develop into a disorder.
How to treat anxiety without medication?
Olga Willemsen’s approach combines hypnotherapy with coaching (Hypno-coaching) in a series of sessions that take place within a month. Olgas method first addresses unconscious limiting beliefs with hypnotherapy and then teaches clients through coaching to steer their thoughts in the direction of positivity. The combination of these techniques makes lasting changes possible.
What makes transformative hypnotherapy exceptionally effective in treating anxiety without medication is addressing the underlying cause – subconscious beliefs. Thanks to Olgas Framework, clients can effortlessly throw overboard their old limiting beliefs and transform their thinking. Lasting change with such treatment is possible by breaking the pattern of negative thinking and stimulating new desired behaviors with comforting thoughts.
Noticing positivity requires consistent practice and effort because of our mind’s default tendency to focus on negativity. During 1-on-1 hypnotherapy and coaching sessions, Olga teaches her clients how to deal with and reduce fears. One of the effective techniques to help reduce anxiety is the practice of gratitude.
