Living with anxiety can be difficult, exhausting and even overwhelming at times. At Whole Mind Strategies, we provide specialist anxiety treatment for clients across Melbourne.
Anxiety is one of the worst feelings we can have, which results from the way we have evolved. It is our old survival mechanism, the flight or fight response, kicking into overdrive.
The discomfort comes from the release of adrenaline, cortisol, and noradrenaline in response to a perceived threat. This response is designed to push us into action by running away from the threat or fighting it, hopefully allowing us to survive. This might have been fine for physical threats such as lions and tigers, but today it is more about the response to perceived emotional threats at a subconscious level.
Often anxiety causes us to fear the anxiety, a fear of a fear that feeds itself and causes you to be anxious about being anxious and can even result in a panic attack. As soon as you try to control your anxiety you feed it. Anxiety will tend to worsen over time and not improve because of the mind being in this constant state of worry.
At Whole Mind Strategies, we provide anxiety treatments and panic attacks hypnosis for clients throughout Melbourne, helping them to better manage their anxiety. There are many types of anxiety including generalised anxiety, social anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and phobias, to name just a few.
These anxieties originate from the subconscious parts of our minds, such as habits of seeing threats that are imaginary, not real, resulting in the subconscious not being able to tell between a real or imagined experience. Because the issue is at a subconscious level, it must also be resolved in the mind. Panic attack hypnosis treatments are a beneficial way of treating this disorder.
Hypnosis is one of the best ways to get within your mind and manage your anxiety. Using guided relaxation, attention, and concentration, patients can achieve a heightened sense of awareness, which may assist with managing anxiety.
Our extensive experience has allowed us to create a six-week program that targets anxiety, depression and stress, helping our clients to live life without worry.
Psychotherapist Anthony Gilmour specialises in treating anxiety and depression, having developed a tried and tested program for changing the mind and resolving issues over the past 20 years. As the author of the popular book “Tragic to Magic”, Gilmour has established his reputation as an expert in understanding and treating anxiety and depression. Thousands of clients across Melbourne have benefited from his anxiety hypnotherapy program over the past 20 years.
The program consists of six one-on-one sessions conducted weekly, and a set of four hypnosis recordings to listen to between sessions. This is the time required to change the patterns of the mind. Three CDs are also provided free of charge, which enables you to listen to the recordings in the car or on the go. The program is like a life coaching course, with the main focus being on resolving anxiety. The sessions focus on the individual’s specific issue, with hypnotherapy being used to resolve the issues at a subconscious level.

We can see anger in many situations. Road rage is just wanting control over another driver’s behaviour. The golfer getting angry when the ball doesn’t go where they want it to is another example, and the angrier they get the worse the shots get. The want for control is the fear of a lack of control. The more we want to control the more we lose control.
Frustration, impatience, and annoyance all come from the want for control. We usually start off trying to suppress anger but when we suppress things they will come back with a vengeance sometime down the track, we are just creating internal pressure that can explode like a volcano over the smallest things. This is why some people find anger management courses beneficial.
Anxiety and depression often go hand in hand, stemming from many of the same issues. Whole Mind Strategies also offer hypnotherapy for anxiety and depression, which is one of the best methods for resolving long-standing issues. Hypnosis can be used to achieve a heightened sense of relaxation and awareness, making it easier to discuss your fears, worries, or issues. By unlocking this part of your mind, our hypnotherapists can then offer psychotherapy and counselling to further work on your issues.
Our anxiety, depression, and panic attack sessions are covered by some health funds.
At Whole Mind Strategies, we provide counselling, hypnotherapy and courses for a range of issues. Whether you’re looking for an OCD specialist, a sports psychologist, a fear of flying course or hypnotherapy for anxiety or depression, we’re ready to help.
