Yes, hypnosis works with situational anxiety and there is more to the story. Anxiety is exacerbated by lack of enough sleep and deep sleep, lack of nutrition and nutritional deficiencies, and stress. It is helpful to use hypnosis with a comprehensive approach.

When a person has experienced trauma it is important to create a safe environment for their healing. Hypnotherapy can give a method to access deeper levels of consciousness that allow healing to occur. Also hypnotherapy can give self-awareness tools that you can use anytime and anywhere. The application of certain approaches to hypnotherapy supports the person at their pace rather a rote system that is not individualized.

Hypnosis for getting to sleep and staying asleep is valuable. It is also helpful to look at other aspects of life which include regular exercise, avoiding caffeine at least 5 hours prior to sleep which includes sodas, tea, coffee and chocolate, not using alcohol to get to sleep, and creating a sleep routine to help cue your body to unwind. It is also beneficial to have a regular time to get to sleep and sleep rituals. Avoiding screen time is necessary as well. There is a video on getting to sleep on Youtube from Transformational Wisdom Instititue if you wan to learn more.
