Yes: Hypnosis is by definition a heightened state of focus and concentration. There are various techniques for using hypnotic methods to explore and transform distracting thoughts. Hypnosis is particularly useful in managing anxiety, as it usually involves a relaxation component. Be sure to locate a trained practitioner in your area for more information.

At times yes: See an established hypnotherapist and discuss. Last evening i hypnotized a patient with 6 months of no sleep and anxiety. The anxiety was gone and he slept 6 hours after one session. That's not going to happen for everybody, but shows just how effective it can be.
