When you
experience a drop in blood-sugar level, it is possible to mistake or attribute the
environmental stimulus or event as causing any physiological distress you
experience at that time. However, the confusion, headaches, tremors, cold
sweats, increased anxiety, etc., are actually symptoms of low blood-sugar levels and not specific consequences of
what is going on around you. For example, the late Hypnosis Motivation Institute founder John Kappas PhD once worked with a client to
help her overcome her fear of loud noises. He explained how nutrition can affect
these levels; specifically, how low blood sugar can trigger the physical
symptoms she had been experiencing. The hypnotherapist concluded that his client’s
fear of loud noise was actually associated with agoraphobia
(fear of open spaces), as her anxiety about this stimulus essentially kept her
house-bound. Her extreme sensitivity to loud noise was exacerbated by her low
blood-sugar level, which in turn strengthened her negative reaction to the
noise. To treat her, Dr. Kappas recommended stabilizing the woman’s blood-sugar
level through diet and used hypnosis to desensitize the client to loud noises.
