Of course. However it is subjective so hard to put in an empirical form. Everyone will always have anxiety from time to time for their entire lives. Anxiety is a normal human emotion — it is just excess anxiety for little to no reason that needs treatment.. which is your case.
CBT has a MUCH higher track record than hypnosis — but doing both certainly won’t hurt your chances.
Often people have their anxiety ‘reduced’ to a manageable level that doesn’t interfere with their daily function — which is the ultimate goal of treatment. 100% elimination of anxiety isn’t so much the goal. Generally when an anxiety disorder is reduced significantly it then becomes something that isn’t obsessed about at all.. and consequently the brain further adapts due to the person not being consumed with the anxiety and it further is reduced over time. Which essentially leads to what would be called a 100% success. CBT gives you coping mechanisms and ultimately works with our thought patterns that will structurally retrain the brain over a period of time to stop the anxiety at the source instead of ‘masking’. Medications are helpful for many cases — I recommend against the benzodiazepine family of medicines as their long term efficiency is poor — and those who rely on them daily for anxiety will eventually experience a need to increase dose, and have interdose withdrawal and elevated anxiety beyond the initial anxiety. It is just not very good for long term.
Some mild anti depressants can be very good long term to manage anxiety — and it is shown that combining such a medication with ‘therapy’ .. such as CBT has the highest success. Though being adamant about not taking medicine is perfectly fine and suits CBT very well. Also consider adding exercise several times a week to your lifestyle (if you don’t already) as this is proven to be extremely effective at combating anxiety, depression, and pretty much all mental illness not to mention the physical benefits.
Get in with a good Cognitive behavioral therapist and WORK the program often and have faith in it.. our brains are plastic (they aren’t hardwired) meaning if you provide new stimulus for a period of time it WILL invariably change in structure and neural connection/association. It isn’t QUICK, but over months and years huge changes can and do occur. So with that in mind, patience is the ultimate virtue needed for the highest level of recovery.
Good luck,
providing you have a wilingness to really embrace CBT & do the work required yes it can be a significant factor in helping anxiety. It will not cure anxiety completely, as anxiety is a body response that everyone has & needs however it does mean that you are able to manage your anxiety to a point where it doesn’t interfere in your life

There also are some indicators of agitation and panic, which include the thinking you are not safe and you suspect that something bad will occur. There's regularly a dread of being embarrassed in front of heaps of folks and sufferers think that they don’t wont ever know the way to control their lives.
