Is your anxiety rising now we are coming out of lockdown? 

It is a very worrying time now that we are allowed to socialise more.  The conflicting information that is in the press and online is adding to our stress.

Here at my Leatherhead hypnotherapy clinic I have had a number of clients whose anxiety is on the increase.  Health anxiety is a major problem of some.  They find themselves constantly checking Doctor Google for signs and symptoms of the virus. 

Those who have been sheltering for various reasons are now worried about going out and about again and the increased risk of catching the virus.  Parents are worried about their children returning to school and nursery and some children are themselves suffering from increased anxiety.

These challenges have to be faced; we have to restart our lives.  Spending the rest of our life on the sofa isn’t really an option.  

Some clients have put on weight during the lockdown and they have lost control of what and when they eat.  They face going back to work with clothes that are straining at the waistband.  Others have found it difficult to control their drinking habits.

Now is the time for us to gain control of our lives again.  We have to believe that life will return to some kind of normal over the coming weeks and months.  Many of our plans have been cancelled and we are unable to do all what we would have liked over the last few months.

We have enjoyed glorious weather and many of us have found new hobbies in gardening, knitting, crochet and dozens of other long forgotten skills.  Other people have found time to relax read those books we always wanted to read and recharge our batteries.

Whatever we have been doing, now is the time to look forward.  If anxiety is stopping you moving forward, even going out now that the doors are slowly opening, hypnotherapy can help to calm those fears.  Don’t let anxiety control your life in the future.
