People's inability to cope with the demands of modern life, has led to a significant increase in the incidence of anxiety being experienced by people from all walks of life. People are suffering from anxiety without knowing the root cause of it and it was found from the anxiety cases studied that its origin can in many cases be traced to the birth experience where specific negative suggestions were imprinted on the subconscious. In this study the influence of the birth experience as the underlying cause of anxiety and the effect of it on the formation of the self-concept and self-actualisation have been explored. The research shows that a subconscious origin exists in the development of anxiety. In the research for this study, Medical Hypnoanalysis, which is based on a process
of diagnosis and therapy, was used as therapeutic method with several clients suffering from anxiety symptoms.
In this research the perceptions formed in the subconscious during the birth experience were examined and related to the anxiety experienced during childhood and later life. The case studies, their diagnoses and the follow-up therapeutic sessions relating to the birth experience were investigated and discussed. Educational Psychologists show a specific interest in and a tendency to get involved with, or implement Medical Hypnoanalysis in therapy. It became obvious from this study that Medical Hypnoanalysis supplements the needs of the Educational Psychologist as a tool in therapy. In this study guide lines have been presented to the Educational Psychologist for the treatment of anxiety originating from the birth trauma by regressing the client
back to this traumatic experience. Suggestions on how to conduct the birth regression sessions have also been presented and clarified. Through the case studies the identification and removal of the highly charged
emotional and negative beliefs that were responsible for the anxiety symptom have been demonstrated. The case studies have furthermore demonstrated the successful utilisation of positive and healing suggestions to achieve the therapeutic goals. The results of this study show that Medical Hypnoanalysis can be used effectively in
the treatment of the root causes of anxiety. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
