Overcoming Anxiety

SUSIE ROTCH  Psychologist
BA, TSTC, DipCrim, MACE, MAPs

A self-help and guided self-hypnosis course to help discover and develop your own ability to master anxiety and overcome it’s effects.

The HypnoBooks are a brilliant new development of image-based, self-help courses.

Viewing the DVD quietly, safely in your own home, you can build up your skills of memory and imagination. These are the tools you need to invisage and then create a new outlook on your life. This is a self-administrated, self-help course to help you change the conscious and unconscious blockages that may be stopping you from living the life you want.

Firstly the HypnoBook manuals help you plan the course of your new life overcoming anxiety. Then the trance-inducing DVD allows you to settle these new ideas into your unconscious and so fully resource yourself for the changes you want. The gentle hypnotic images providing self-help in an enjoyable and entertaining format.

Some assumptions about anxiety

Self questioning is a vital component of change.

Feelings of uncertainty can be a driver to take you on a search for certainty.

But anxiety that floats randomly around your life and attaches itself to issues over which you may have no control is a source of energy wasted.

Anxiety is an appropriate signal for an action response

Anxiety can have physiological and or psychological causes. This program addresses the psychological causes and psychotherapeutic solutions that can help you master non productive anxiety and overcome it’s effects.

Overcoming Anxiety is a unique program that has been designed to combine both the healing powers of self-awareness and the power of the unconscious mind. The research, psychological theories and principles upon which the program is based, recognize that you already have an array of personal resources to explore and enhance your natural ability to effectively manage and avoid anxiety. These include the ability to relax and to choose what you pay attention to.

This program offers the techniques to methodically establish, reinforce and achieve your conscious goals and a unique DVD resource to help you recognize and remove the unconscious blockages to your desire to improve the quality of your life.

Together, book and DVD combine to offer a process for overcoming anxiety. You will learn how to reconstruct your habitual ways of operating, to make other aspects of your life more satisfying too.

Concerned about anxiety - ( excerpt from Chapter 1 Introduction )

If you are reading this webpage, you are probably anxious, have been anxious and want to make sure that you don’t get anxious again. Maybe you have a friend or relative who is anxious about whom you are concerned, or whose anxiety is affecting you.

Anxiety is an epidemic. There is a plague of anxiety in our times. More and more people are suffering from it. There is an ever-expanding body of research on the topic. More and more people are taking medication to try to help them to deal with it.

Some people get anxious and don’t even know that they are

They just know that they live with chronic unpleasant feelings or physical symptoms. Others know that they are anxious but don’t know what to do about it. That’s where this program can help.

How this program works

The research, psychological theory and principles upon which the program is based, recognise that you already have an array of potential resources to feel calm and confidentl. These personal resources include the natural ability to relax and an ability to choose what you pay attention to.

The program also includes a revolutionary new development. For the first time, the known ability of moving images on a screen to focus attention is harnessed in this way for therapeutic ends. This is to increase your ability to learn and use self-hypnosis to give you that confidence that you crave.

Why a DVD?

Moving images on a screen together with the spoken word are known to be a powerful hypnotic medium. Millions of people for a hundred years now have gone to the movies and willingly suspended their belief in a public yet very private place and let their imaginations soar. You can respond to and weave many messages on many levels through the flow of images and words. And that’s why there is a DVD component to this program.

The images in the DVD / video are illustrations to parables about the Ugly Duckling and the experience of learning to drive a car. The guiding, spoken words are mixed with a very slow natural heartbeat that in turn blends with the various natural rhythmic backgrounds that support the spoken narrative.

This program will teach you to recognise, extend and actually enjoy applying skills you already have. It will also help you to learn new skills and apply them. I estimate that by the time you have successfully completed the program you will have gained as much as you would have from attending ten to twelve individual therapy sessions. This will be at a vastly lower cost in time money and frustration. And you learn how to be your own therapist in the process!

With this learning you can handle your life more effectively to give calm confidence and the personal satisfaction that you aspire to in your life. You can use your internal resources to change the counter-productive habits that make you un-necessarliy anxious. As part of this process the program can help you to review other habits and develop ones that increase your sense of mastery over, and overall satisfaction with your life.
