Try to acknowledge your anxiety whenever it comes up. Say to yourself, "This is just some anxiety and it will pass." Acknowledging your anxiety and recognising it as being just that, anxiety as opposed to a scary set of sensations that start to take over your mind and body, will help you to snap out of it and not to let it take hold. Even if you believe that it is not working you need to continue the positive self talk and fight back against the anxiety.
I hope this helps in some way,

That's great news you are seeing your doc. I hope it goes well for you.
Thanks Justine, I believe I am winning this battle at the moment!
Hope things work out for you and best of luck with the hypnotherapy if you do try it!

I did try it anyway but found it didn't really work. I was expecting to be in proper trance like state but wasn't. The hypnotist said that I was hypnotised but that real hypnotherapy is not like when you see it on TV, however I really didn't feel it. I kept my eyes closed but felt that I could have open them at any time. I think it's easier to be hypnotised if you don't feel anxious but that was obviously the reason I was there.
I have known people that have been hypnotised and they swear that it worked. So I could like to try it again but with someone else. Where I went was a bit too 'hippy dippy' for me full of incense and crystals!
