The sky is blue, the sun is shining and all the birds are
singing in the trees. It is early summer
and the wedding season has arrived once more.
Every weekend from now until the end of September, happy couples will be
tying the knot on what is supposed to be the happiest day of their lives. You
want your wedding day to be full of love, joy and elation. But for too many
couples, the weeks leading up to the wedding can be filled with stress, anxiety
and even fear. This is a very special day that the couple, especially the
bride, and their families have been dreaming of and planning in their heads for
years, so there are a lot of expectations to be met, especially an expectation
that the day must be perfect right down to the tiniest detail.

So can hypnotherapy help you plan and enjoy your wedding day
feeling relaxed, calm and happy?
Stress and Anxiety:
If planning a wedding as well as working and getting on with
your day to day life is leaving you feeling tired, stressed and anxious, then
hypnotherapy sessions can help you to relax and stay relaxed whatever is thrown
at you. You will also learn some great
techniques such as self hypnosis and EFT that you can use at home, to keep you
feeling chilled and carefree even when the relatives start squabbling about
seating plans or your wedding dress needs to be altered at the last minute.
Confidence:
Many brides and grooms feel extremely uncomfortable at the
thought of being the centre of attention for the whole day and do not like the
idea of the spotlight being on them.
Hypnosis can help to improve your confidence levels, so that you can
really enjoy walking down the aisle with all eyes on you and taking to the
floor for that all-important first dance.
Fear of Public Speaking:
At many weddings the best man, the bride’s father, the groom
and increasingly the bride make speeches at the wedding reception. Fear of public speaking can turn the speech
maker into a miserable, bundle of nerves weeks before the actual wedding day and
ruin any sense of excitement and anticipation.
Hypnosis can help to calm those speech making nerves, so that you can
look forward to the wedding happily and fully enjoy the actual day, rather than
letting the dread of having to speak in public cast a dark shadow over the
whole proceedings.
Social Anxiety:
A lot of people just aren’t that comfortable having to
socialise with large groups of people.
Standing in the line up greeting lots of people you may not know very
well, being seated on a table with strangers and being expected to chat and
mingle at the reception can be very stressful for some people and can lessen
their enjoyment of the occasion. A few hypnosis sessions will help you to relax
and overcome your fears and anxieties.
Weight Loss:
Every bride wants to look their best on their wedding day,
and hypnotherapy can be a really useful tool if you are trying to shed a few
pounds. Having some hypnotherapy
sessions will help you to lose weight more easily, improve your relationship
around food and ease those cravings. Hypnosis can also help you if you are
losing too much weight because you are stressed, rushing around and not eating
properly.
Skin Problems and IBS:
If you suffer from skin problems or IBS, you may find that
the stresses of planning your wedding can cause distressing flare ups. Getting everything sorted out on time is
challenging enough without having to deal with the painful symptoms of IBS or a
skin eruption and you certainly don’t want to have to deal with them on your
big day. Having hypnosis can help to
ease your IBS or skin problems, leaving you to enjoy the occasion with
confidence.
Honeymoon:
The idea of a honeymoon on an exotic tropical beach is idyllic. However, fear of flying, fear of water or a
phobia such as a fear of snakes or insects could be causing you to dread rather
than look forward to these precious first few weeks of your marriage. Hypnotherapy can help eliminate these
phobias, so that you can look forward to and enjoy a long-haul flight, splash
around happily in those warm, tropical seas and explore jungles and rainforests
without the fear of seeing a snake or a spider.
So as you can see, hypnotherapy can help in many different ways;
enabling you to truly relax and enjoy your wedding day. Allow yourself the freedom to no longer worry
about everything being perfect, how the relatives are all going to get on, what
you look like or being the centre of attention.
You really deserve your wedding day to be the occasion you have always
dreamed of, a day that you will never forget for all the right reasons.
