I had a really excellent day yesterday. My anxiety client has had a massive breakthrough. I never expect treatment to be quite this dramatic so as she finished telling me all about how wonderful she was feeling, I had to ask,"What can I actually do for you then?"
I felt like my work was finished, oh halleluyah, I love it when this happens! Actually it wasn't, there was more work to do for her. But what a brilliant session! This lady reported that all the usual anxiety inducing situations were just passing by so quickly without symptoms that she kept thinking, "Hang on, I've just done something that should have given me a panic attack." She wasn't even noticing what was happening. It was as if the anxiety had never even been there.
I think I have said this before but I got such a buzz. To think that the elimination of anxiety states really is possible, quickly, with no drugs just blows my mind. Mainly because it has such a positive effect on somebody's life.
My job is to help people to enjoy their lives. That is all there is.

It is always good when someone who goes in for therapy can come out feel much better than they went in. We do a lot of complimentary health in our magazine and I know full well that people who go for therapy have the weight of the world on their shoulders, so well done
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane. This lady has had the anxiety for 20 years so learning to live without it is quite a revelation for her! Often people come to me as a "last resort" which is not deeply complimentary but it does make it sweeter when they achieve their goals. I love my job!

I have several relatives who have had great success with hypnotherapy for anxiety problems. And you're right, it has such a positive effect on people's lives. It's amazing to see the difference. It sounds like a very fulfilling job to be able to help people in such a profound way.
