Hypnotherapy for Anxiety in London.

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is the reaction of the autonomic nervous system to real or imagined danger. It is the human body’s instinctive defense against attack. In the event of a threatened or actual physical attack, the fight or flight mechanism kicks in and the system releases adrenaline to boost the body’s ability to fight off the attacker or run away quicker than normal. Once the real or imagined threat has subsided, the system then returns to normal. In some situations, some unused adrenaline will remain in the system which can cause long-term stress.

Fight or Flight?

The fight-or-flight mechanism was very useful in the days of cavemen being chased by saber-toothed tigers. Stress wasn’t really an issue then but in the modern day where we worry about redundancy and the world’s economic problems, there is no outlet for this stress as the system’s original design was intended to take care of physical threats.
