Hypnosis to manage UNCERTAINTY

Who hasn’t felt stress or anxiety while following the news lately?
Indeed, the global geopolitical climate, inflation and the unpredictability of the economic world are all factors that contribute to exacerbating uncertainty, which is nevertheless part of our lives.

If you don’t cut yourself off from the news completely, it’s hard to escape the feeling of worry about the unknown. So, what to do when uncertainty invades your daily life?

Therapeutic hypnosis can help you better tame uncertainty and create an inner space of calm and serenity.

Why does uncertainty generate anxiety?

Today’s world is going through a period of instability: a rollercoaster economy, geopolitical conflicts around the world, rapid social change, not to mention climate change.
All these factors contribute to a climate of uncertainty, which has profound implications for our psychological well-being:

• Uncertainty disrupts our bearings and triggers natural stress mechanisms. The human brain prefers predictability and stability, and when confronted with the unknown, it activates emotional responses of fear or anxiety.
• Anxiety related to uncertainty can have impacts on physical and mental health: insomnia, digestive disorders, muscle tension, depression, and other symptoms of chronic stress. Under these conditions, it can be more difficult to focus on the present moment or to project yourself positively into the future.

If your symptoms of stress and anxiety are significant, if you suffer from anxiety attacks, consult your doctor or a psychologist.

“Uncertainty is the only certainty that exists, and knowing how to accept it is the only form of security.” – John Allen Paulos

Therapeutic hypnosis: A gentle approach to managing uncertainty

Therapeutic hypnosis induces a state of deep relaxation, facilitating access to the unconscious.
Contrary to popular belief, in hypnosis, you don’t lose control, and no one is going to “play in your brain”!

In hypnosis, it is rather you who explore, with the help of the therapist who guides you to an altered state of consciousness and gives you the steps, to access this deep part of you where your unconscious resources are located. This allows you to work in depth to soothe the symptoms of stress.

The unconscious mind is also the seat of limiting beliefs and negative thought patterns.
Hypnosis to manage uncertainty makes it possible to reprogram these anxiety-provoking thoughts into more positive beliefs, by strengthening stress management skills and self-confidence. 😌

Hypnosis to manage uncertainty and find more serenity

Initially, therapeutic hypnosis creates a state of great physical and mental relaxation, which calms the nervous system and alleviates symptoms of stress, such as palpitations, muscle tension and hypervigilance.

This state of relaxation also helps to soothe intrusive thoughts related to uncertainty.
By regaining more calm and mental clarity, it becomes easier to take a step back from what is happening in the news and other events that are beyond our control. 

Hypnosis also makes it possible to identify and transform the limiting beliefs that feed anxiety related to uncertainty.
Indeed, our fears are often fueled by unconscious beliefs, such as:
“I have no control over what happens”,
“The future is bleak”, etc.

Hypnosis allows you to change these beliefs into more positive alternatives, such as
“I can adapt to changes” or
“I’ve been through worse, I’m able to face the future, no matter what.”

In addition to bringing out helpful beliefs, hypnosis helps build self-confidence.
And in turn, this confidence positively transforms the perception of the future by knowing that we can navigate an uncertain world with calm and serenity. 🌍

How Stephanie managed to calm her stress related to global uncertainty

Stephanie had been feeling particularly stressed since the pandemic. Then each new piece of information on the conflicts in Ukraine or the Middle East, the surges of the stock market… All this made her anxious. Her stress affected her concentration at work, her mood at home, and her sleep.

After a few sessions of therapeutic hypnosis, Stephanie learned to take a step back from her emotions. Hypnosis helped her accept uncertainty as an inescapable reality by focusing on what she could control.
She has also developed greater confidence in her ability to adapt and cope with change. Today, although she remains informed, she better doses the time she spends checking the news and social networks and no longer lets herself be overwhelmed by anxiety.

“Hypnosis has allowed me to regain more self-confidence and see things differently. I feel more serene about the future and more able to deal with the unknown. – Stephanie

Breathe and have fun rather than ruminate!

” When the body is caught up in the tumult of the world, the breath is the only way that leads to inner silence. “  – Simone Weil

Yes, it may sound simplistic, but experts in neuroscience and stress management constantly remind us of the importance of breathing and other activities that stimulate the parts of the brain that activate anxiety.

To better cope with uncertainty, here are some tools that we could suggest you integrate into your daily life:

• Practice breathing with the belly, which allows you to breathe from the diaphragm rather than the chest and sends more oxygen into the lungs. This helps to curb the chain reaction of stress.
• Otherwise, singing in the shower (or elsewhere!), or laughing, is a fun and enjoyable way to practice abdominal breathing without even realizing it.
• Surround yourself with people, spend time with friends, to remind yourself that you are not alone in facing uncertainty.
• Play sports, move to evacuate the overload of energy that comes with the stress of uncertainty.

Overcoming uncertainty and regaining calm and self-confidence

Uncertainty is a part of life, but it doesn’t have to be constant stress and fear. Thanks to therapeutic hypnosis, it is possible to regain the upper hand and access calm and well-being.

By working on the unconscious, hypnosis helps to soothe the effects of stress, reprogram negative thoughts and regain more self-confidence… and have faith in the future.

🌿 Take the time to treat yourself to a moment of inner calm and serenity.
Hypnosis can help you access mental peace, even in an uncertain world.
