How Sarah became free from anxiety – Case study
When Sarah arrived, walking through my door (looking absolutely terrified) I really felt for her. She was totally flattened by life. 3 kids, a career in Finance and barely an ounce of self-confidence left.
She wanted to stop feeling so low and be free from anxiety and stress, once and for all.
Sarah admitted that she’d let things get out of control to the point that she’d lost all faith in her own abilities. She has been given a warning from work to basically sort herself out or her job would be at risk. She was making a lot of mistakes and was unaware that she even had anxiety.
Home life
At home things were tense. Sarah was either arguing with her husband, about everything and anything or just not caring and letting things overwhelm her. The kids were pushing her to her limits, constantly and she didn’t have the mental energy to deal with it. They all knew this. Anxiety pulls the energy from you and can make you feel exhausted.
She had tried counselling many moons before but didn’t get much from it, so didn’t think anyone could help her. Her friend had recommended to come and see me, so she mustered up as much courage as she could and phoned me.
Once on the phone call, I could hear how trampled down with life she was and also how much she WANTED to change, to become anxiety free. I booked her in.
First session
When Sarah came in the office, she took a seat, with an air of trepidation. I explained to her that hypnosis is not mind control and she would be fully aware of where she was, at all times. In fact, hypnotherapy is a state that she goes into regularly, like when falling asleep or awakening, or even daydreaming.
I explained that I would not be in control of her thoughts and certainly cannot see into her head. This made her feel less anxious, knowing that she wasn’t giving over her control to me, a total stranger.
After a good chat about stress and anxiety and how to cope with situations day to day, I taught her some amazing tools she can keep in her toolkit, to use whenever she needed them.
We then proceeded with the hypnosis. She really enjoyed it, so much so that she couldn’t believe that it had been 25 mins, as it only felt like 5 minutes! She felt so much more chilled out, like a weight had been lifted.
The change process
Over the next 3 weeks, she learned lots of really helpful tips on how she can control her own mind and deal with any negativity or anxiety/anxious thoughts, if it popped into her head. She practised all her bits of homework and loved each session she attended.
Sarah’s anxiety went from a 10, to a 5, then finally to zero. Her confidence and self-esteem went from being at rock bottom to a very happy 8.
Sleep
When she first came to me her she slept for approximately 4/5 hours per night, now she was getting a perfect 7.5-8 hours per night. No longer did she wake 2 or 3 times per night, she always slept right through and felt great in the morning.
Sarah’s final session
As she stood in my office on her 4th and final session, Sarah glowed. She was not a new person, she was an improved version of herself. She had found her old self again and it felt wonderful. She reported back having a new vitality for life.
Sarah could honestly say that she was now free from anxiety.
She was no longer stressed and snapping at her family and was able to deal with everything calmly
and capably.
Family life
She had more tolerance for her children and her husband was delighted to have a happy, loving having his wife back again. No longer someone to fight with anymore. She was so settled and full of joy!
Eventually, Sarah changed her monotonous job and found somethings that she really enjoyed… she valued herself and her ability to do things.
She only wished that she had come to me sooner, as our sessions had had such a positive impact on her life.
