Anxiety
Physical
and emotional symptoms of anxiety can be sweating, difficulty
breathing, difficulty thinking, and feelings of panic. Anxiety
can be controlled and alleviated through relaxation techniques.
The source of the anxiety can be rooted out and released,
leaving you more relaxed, calm and in control. Read a short research paper about this subject.
Types of anxiety successfully treated with hypnosis:
Agoraphobia
is the fear of going out. Hypnotherapy can help with the
fear symptoms. If you can visualize going out in your mind,
then you can physically accomplish it.
Bed
wetting is usually a problem for younger children,
although some teens and adults have the problem. Through
hypnosis the mind can be “trained” to wake up
to go to the bathroom, or to sleep a little lighter so that
the sensations of needing to urinate can be felt. Underlying
problems can be addressed.
Driving
produces some anxiety or stress in everyone. When it becomes
a problem where it limits where you can travel, hypnosis
can get you “back on the road” safely and securely.
Flying,
especially after 911, has become stressful for a lot of
people. You can reclaim your comfort level in the air with
a few sessions of hypnosis.
General
anxiety can happen to anyone and the reason
may not be apparent. Hypnotherapy can remove the symptoms
and help you find the cause.
Public
speaking is anxiety producing even for those
who are good at it! The cause is insecurity, making projections
of what other people think, and embarrassment. In just a
few sessions you can be confident and more comfortable in
front of a few people or a large group.
Shyness
stems from an over focus of yourself in front
of others. With hypnosis you can temper or eliminate this
discomfort, allowing you to be more comfortable socially.
Stress
anxiety happens from overloads at work, home
and with too many personal problems. Hypnosis can help you
find better coping mechanisms.
Test
taking often produces anxiety. When the emotions
come up, it is hard for the subconscious mind to concentrate
on what you learned. Calming down gives you access to the
library in your mind!

Hi Laurie,
Just wanted to give you an update on my business trip. As you know, before the trip I was very nervous. Traveling there I was somewhat nervous. And once I got into the meetings I was not at all nervous. I was simply myself. Didn't try to be anything more, nor would I settle for being anything less.
After being there only two hours the President asked me to lead the executive team in a session the following day. It was a huge role, and I was surprised to be entrusted with it so quickly. But I was not at all anxious about it. I had brought your CD from our last session and I listened to it that night.
I was calm and confident, shoulders back, head held high, in a position of esteem and confidence! The sessions went great. I was entrusted with more significant responsibilities, and they are now figuring out how they can afford my services.
It felt so good to be out and about again. Socially comfortable. Having new adventures. Growing. I have reclaimed ME! Thank you for all your help. -- Alua P.

Laurie,
I wanted to thank you for giving me the tools for getting back a reasonable life after my wife’s death. When I came to you I was a total mess. I could not work, eat, sleep, or be around people. Bottom line! I could not function in society. I found you through the Internet and it has been a life saving discovery. You are such a kind, giving person, who gave so much of her self in helping me! Laurie I can’t even begin to thank you. Please share this on your web as a testimonial. I would be honored to be on the roll of people you have helped. Thank you -- Gabe

I went to hypnosis with skepticism having had social anxiety for most of my 48 years. The reason I had gone in the first place was a very prominent friend of mine had recently retired and got into social speaking and was terrified of public speaking. She said she had found a cure! So I decided only something could be gained from meeting Laurie.
During my first session with Laurie she put my mind at rest. Hypnosis is calming, peaceful and not controlling. Being hypnotized was like having my favorite chocolate. It was soothing and relaxing! Coming out of that blissful place came all too quickly. I took my CD home and listened to it and no longer found myself getting knots in my stomach before social situations. I had forgotten my fear or at least my mind had moved onto a peaceful place.
So when I decided to have surgery top of my list was to see Laurie. Being terrified of anesthetics and not knowing how I was going to get to the operating room without totally collapsing with fear, I had to see if this would help me. I had to wait 2 months for my surgery so when I got to Laurie the 10 days before I was already nervous. In her soothing manner she went about putting my mind at ease. Once more I listened to my "healing' CD every day, and on the day of surgery went by myself into the pre-op room without my husband, and without the need of any calming medication. My experiences have been life changing and life healing. -- Janeen

Dear Laurie,
I wanted to thank you for helping me with my anxiety. As you know it was so bad that I almost did not make it to my sessions, thankfully I persevered. My anxiety was so bad that I could not eat, sleep, or go anywhere with my family. I even had anxiety in my own home that would wake me from my sleep. I now am enrolled back in school to get my bachelors degree along with taking my Real Estate exam . I can go places with my family again which is so wonderful. I am so thankful for your help I even referred a couple of friends for similar issues and you helped one of them with anxiety as well. I am a true believer in hypnosis and tell everyone I can about you and how you helped me get my life back. -- Ginger D.

Hi Laurie,
You are amazing at what you do and it was great for me to meet such a wonderful and talented woman. Regarding our session for my blocked sexuality, I wanted you to know that I have been so comfortable in my own skin, especially when it comes to intimacy. I have listened to the CD (personal CD made during the session) 2 times since our session and have been able to focus on relaxing during sex play, intercourse, and I am much more able to let go and enjoy myself. I can imagine the letting go and placing "stuff" inside the box prior to romantic times and it helps to encourage my sexiness and confidence to come out. We have only engaged fully in intercourse twice since our visit, however, that is 100% improvement already. So far so good! Thank you again for helping to release my inner sexual goddess. She is very happy and confident that we are now on a path of improving communication and sexual fulfillment. -- Take Care, Monica

I am truly glad that I decided to go through with the therapy sessions at Hypnosis Concepts. Before meeting Laurie I had a bit a doubt in the whole process though now I have no regret in receiving hypnosis for my shyness and eating disorder. I always felt so comfortable and relaxed during the sessions. Laurie helped me in so many ways and every session was a learning experience. I believe that if a person has any type of issue with body image or low self esteem, Laurie is the person to go to. I would have to say that Laurie is a genuinely kind and helpful person who is very educated in her field. -- Crystal

I want to thank you because I remember when I first walked into your office, I was very much a skeptic but you walked me through it and helped me open myself to the process. I was an angry, aggressive, hyper, and insecure person when I first came to see you; I was having trouble sleeping, my body was always aching and my thoughts of failure were driving me crazy. Today (after just 3 sessions), I am calmer, my mind at ease and I sleep like a baby when I listen to your sessions on my iPod. You help me overcome the panic and fear I had after my car accident. I could go on and on about how great you are but I really don't know how to thank you...I owe SO MUCH of my success to you. THANK YOU!!!
I realize its a bit long but I can't tell you how great I feel. I have much more confidence in school, my grades have picked up DRAMATICALLY and I can honestly say I sleep like a baby when I fall asleep listening to my sessions with you. I really don't know how to thank you enough...everyone around me has seen a positive change in me and I couldn't have done it without you. You were able to address my doubts with hypnotherapy, guide me, and help me search for the root of my problems. Although I know I still have things I want to work on, I live my life SO MUCH better than I did only a few months ago. The accident I had does not affect me anymore and I am much more in confident in myself...I FEEL that confidence in me. I could go on and on!!! But THANK YOU!
Thank you so much Laurie...I really can't express my gratitude...words are not enough.
Sincerely,
Mariana
