Break Free from Overthinking
Anxiety and Hypnotherapy: Your Path to Peace
Discover how hypnotherapy can help you overcome anxiety and stop the cycle of overthinking, allowing you to embrace life with confidence and clarity.
Embrace Uncertainty
Trusting the Journey Forward
Anxiety and hypnotherapy. There’s something powerful about moving forward, even when you don’t know exactly how. Certainty isn’t a requirement for progress—things can feel impossible, confusing, or overwhelming, and yet, they still get done.
I’ve seen this time and again, both in my own work and in the people I help. When faced with a challenge, the instinct is often to hesitate, waiting for the perfect plan before taking action. But the truth is, most of the time, we don’t need to know how we will achieve something —hypnotherapy helps you trust that you will.
Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety, Overthinking, and Your Unconscious Mind
I was reminded of this recently while trying to help someone understand their anxiety. I explained it using an example I often use:
Imagine you have an important meeting coming up. You think about it once, then again, and then 50 more times, each time picturing it going badly. Your brain, unable to tell the difference between imagination and reality, logs all of those imagined meetings as real experiences.
So when the actual meeting happens, and it goes fine, your body still reacts as though you’ve attended 51 meetings—50 of which were disasters. No wonder you feel exhausted, and your sleep may suffer as a result.

The Misunderstanding: Anxiety, Assumptions, and Awareness
But here’s where things got interesting. The person I was speaking to completely misinterpreted my point. Instead of understanding the example as a way to explain how anxiety works, they walked away believing that I was deeply stressed about meetings! They had taken my explanation as a personal confession rather than a teaching moment.
It reminded me of another moment of misunderstanding when I assumed knowledge that wasn’t shared. One day, I mentioned Malta’s Eurovision entry was really ‘serving,’ assuming my two colleagues would understand the reference. They didn’t—and looked at me with blank confusion. I later discovered that Malta’s Eurovision song actually includes the word ‘serving,’ which explains why it stood out to me. It was a small, funny reminder that we often overestimate how much other people know about the things that feel obvious to us.
It was a perfect example of how easily meaning can be reshaped depending on someone’s perspective. Misinterpretation is a natural part of communication, just like uncertainty is a natural part of progress. But neither has to stop us.
Anxiety and hypnotherapy: break the cycle of overthinking
How Hypnotherapy Can Help
Hypnotherapy offers effective techniques to break this cycle of overthinking and anxiety, particularly when it begins to interfere with sleep and well-being. Some key benefits include:
-
Reframing Negative Thoughts – Through guided sessions, hypnotherapy helps individuals replace negative visualizations with positive or neutral ones, reducing anticipatory anxiety.
-
Deep Relaxation Techniques – Hypnosis induces a state of deep relaxation, calming the mind and body, which can improve sleep quality.

I Don’t Know How… But I Will
As Mike Mandel emphasizes, effective hypnosis can involve direct, clear instructions or suggestions as powerful as this one. This approach allows your unconcious mind to play a role in your healing, Consciously you may not have the idea of where to start, but your unconcious library of experience and authenticity just might. Leading to lasting change.
Assumptions and Anxiety
Assumptions often act as a breeding ground for anxiety, creating scenarios in our minds that may not reflect reality. By questioning these assumptions and seeking clarity, we can reduce the mental burden they impose. This approach not only alleviates anxiety but also enhances our ability to communicate effectively, fostering healthier relationships and a more peaceful mindset.
Embracing Persistence in the Face of Challenges
Final Thoughts
Whether it’s tackling something that feels overwhelming or trying to explain a complex idea, the important thing is to keep going. Understanding doesn’t always happen instantly. Solutions don’t always appear right away. But with persistence, clarity emerges.
So if you ever find yourself thinking I don’t know how I’ll do this, try adding one more thought:
…but I will.
