I've read a number of articles on hypnotherapy, but I'm still not clear on whether it's likely to help me. I'd be grateful for any informed views.
I understand that hypnotherapy can be effective when there's a specific goal in mind -- for example, stopping smoking, losing weight, overcoming anxiety in a particular situation.
In my situation, I think it's much less straightforward to define a precise target. I've been experiencing anxiety and panic attacks for the last 2-3 years. The main trigger has been worries about problems with the computer technology that I rely upon for my work. I've been searching for practical ways to address this but, short of moving right away from my current line of work, I don't see any realistic options. Over the last 3-4 months, I've been experiencing low/despairing moods, lethargy and lack of confidence. I feel as if I'm trapped in a technology-driven nightmare that's impossible for me to explain adequately -- even to myself.
It isn't clear to me which aspects of my situation might be best addressed by hypnotherapy, and what results I could reasonably expect. If anyone is able to enlighten me, then I'll be most grateful.
Many thanks!
