What is best, in-person or online therapy, for issues with anxiety?
Turns out it has been shown that either option works extremely well 
But which is the best for you?
Let’s take a look at the options so you can decide what would be best for you
Why hypnotherapy for anxiety Issues?
Hypnotherapy is simply a way of guiding your mind into a focused, relaxed state, the kind of state where change feels easier.
You’re not asleep or out of control
You’re calm and aware, more open to responding to change.
It’s just like when you’re completely absorbed in a book or driving somewhere familiar, your mind is attentive, but relaxed.
And that process doesn’t depend on a special chair or room.
It only depends on your brain, which is just as effective online or in person
Benefits of in-Person Hypnotherapy
Calm quiet space, with no distractions, creating a definite line between time for home and time for therapy.
There can be a greater feeling of safety and reassurance being physically in the same space as the therapist.
Sometimes it is nice just to get out of the house and have a change
Benefits of online hypnotherapy sessions
Online hypnotherapy has definitely grown since lock down. Studies have shown it to be equally effective to in-person for anxiety issues, panic attacks or phobias
Clients often choose online sessions because they feel more relaxed and can continue to relax following the session. They are less time-consuming, fitting in around other commitments. Less stressful regarding parking, timing and traffic
You need to be able to see and hear the therapist, and have somewhere comfortable to sit or lie
Choosing the best option
Ask yourself:
Where do I feel most relaxed right now?
Is travel easy, or does it add stress?
Do I focus better at home or in a therapy space?
Would flexibility reduce pressure in my life?
And choose whatever feels right for you. You can always try both, and I do have clients who mix and match depending on their current schedules and locations.
