Arolyn Burns

Arolyn Burns is a licensed therapist who’s been working with anxiety, trauma, and chronic pain since 1997. She spent fifteen years with LA County investigating child abuse, working with crime victims, domestic violence survivors, and veterans struggling with deployment stress. She’s also worked with professional athletes battling performance anxiety and helped Olympic competitors win medals.

In 2012, a workplace injury forced Arolyn to retire and deal with her own chronic pain. That’s when she started combining traditional therapy with alternative treatments like hypnotherapy, sound therapy, essential oils, and energy work. She tested everything on herself before teaching it to clients, building a system that addresses the body, mind, and spirit together.

Arolyn developed her own hypnotherapy technique for specific phobias and anxiety disorders, helping clients overcome fears of flying, driving, test taking, and performance pressure. She’s worked with people preparing for the BAR exam, state licensing tests, and national competitions. Her approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, somatic interventions, and holistic practices that most traditional therapists don’t use.

About The Book

Arolyn Burns

In “Anxiety Annihilated,” therapist Arolyn Burns hands you the tools she’s spent over 25 years refining with clients struggling with anxiety, trauma, phobias, chronic pain, and relationship problems. This isn’t theory. It’s what worked in real sessions with real people desperate for relief.

Arolyn draws from traditional therapy techniques like EMDR and hypnotherapy, then adds in things most therapists won’t touch: essential oils, sound therapy, crystals, and alternative treatments she tested on herself first. She breaks down why anxiety happens, what trauma does to your brain and body, and how you can retrain both to stop living in constant fight or flight mode.

The book covers phobias you can’t shake, chronic pain that steals your life, anger that explodes at the wrong times, and relationships that keep hitting the same walls. She explains the science behind each problem, then walks you through specific techniques to handle it.

“Anxiety Annihilated” also tackles stuff people don’t talk about enough: how your gut affects your mood, why being highly sensitive isn’t a weakness, and how to keep your emotional reserves full when life keeps draining them.

Over the past several years I have been living with anxiety and stress. After realizing that life is too short to feel the way that I was feeling, I decided to do something about it. My wife did some research and found Arolyn Burns and the A Treatment Center.

I called the number that was listed and spoke directly to Arolyn over the phone. She set up a time to call me back and give me a 15 minute free consulation to see what was going on with me. After the 15 minutes was up, she told me that she wanted to speak with me in person. So I checked with my insurance provider to make sure they covered the therapy and I was given the green light. Long story short, I was able to see Arolyn for talk therapy as well as hypnotherapy. In a total of 6 visiits, I have already begun feeling much better. My anxiety has lessened and my stress levels have dropped significantly. Arolyn is very sweet and caring. She wants what is best for her clients. If you are honest with her, she will be honest with you. If you are someone like me; dealing with anxiety and stress and agree life is too short to feel this way, then I would definitely recommed giving Arolyn a call. What else do you have to lose 🙂

I am very picky and critical, and very sceptical in general. I have no problem complaining where it is warranted, but I must also give praise where it is due. With that, i must say that Arolyn Burns is great! She is down to earth, insightful and warm.

More importantly, she helped me SO much. For several years, I found that I was having to pee all the time. I started off by going to the doctor. After a bunch of tests, I was sent to physical therapy. I had to do lots of uncomfortable exercises, like Kegels etc. It helped some. But then later, it came back again. Back to the doctor, more tests. Back to physical therapy. Except now the PT was not covered by insurance and was costing me $150 per session. There was also talk of medication, which -of course- has lots of side effects, and would be a lifelong thing. It suddenly occurred to me that perhaps hypnotherapy could help, since my problem seemed to have to do with relaxing my pelvic floor muscles which are not really under my conscious control. I ended up finding Ms. Burns. After just four sessions, my problem was solved! It has not returned. And I did not have to do Kegels exercises,, take meds etc. My ife has improved so much. No more getting up constantly all night long, so I am sleeping much better. So glad I gave this a try.

So grateful!

I would highly recommend Ms. Burns, She has brought my life back to live after 10 plus years and spending thousands of dollars to treat my freeway driving phobia. The first time I saw her I told her that she was my last try and after 4 sections I have been able

to drive the freeways with confidence and secure of my self. Just as a side note, I was very impressed with how conveniently located this business was and relaxing was just walking into her office. It was so easy to find, I didn’t have any trouble at all. She was always prepared for my appointment and remember everything about me. She is so kind and caring, and she stays open way past their closing time to help anyone who needs them or to work with my working schedule.I will absolutely return. I had an amazing experience, and she is by far the best I’ve ever seen. YES, 5 visits and there I went!!!

I was referred to Arolyn by the district attorney’s office after I was involved in a domestic situation that resulted in criminal charges being filed against my ex. I contacted her and we set up an appointment for a phone consultation: I explained my

 situation and she agreed that I would benefit from counseling. I found her to be friendly and helpful on the phone. When I went to her office for my first session I was nervous and not sure of what to expect but I felt comfortable shortly into the session. Her office is relaxing and comfortable. Arolyn is a great listener and she made me feel safe talking about my experience. She pointed out behaviors that I was engaging in that were preventing me from healing as well as encouraging me in learning how to take care of myself and to make better choices moving forward. Her approach is very gentle and encouraging but she doesn’t sugarcoat things which I appreciated. My involvement in the situation that brought me to therapy is now over but I know that I can visit Arolyn if I need any additional help. My time with her was very well-spent and my only regret is that I didn’t start therapy immediately after the initial incident.

I have been one of Arolyn’s clients for over 4 years now. Coming to see Aroyln was one of the best decisions I have made in my 20’s.|
Atmosphere:
Aroyln has a charming and cozy office in Pasadena. Her waiting room

has plenty of magazines to choose from , you can help yourself to a snack and a cup of coffee or tea while you wait to see her. Once inside here office its a calm gentle space. Warm rich colors and the temperature is pleasant. Plenty of pillows if you need something to hold on to.
The Therapist:
Arolyn has a very calm voice and a kind face. She let’s you do the talking and LISTENS ! I always leave wishing I had a longer session. I have dealt with so many personal and emotional problems the past couple of years with Aroyln. I was typically seeing Aroyln twice a month. If my schedule permitted it I would see her at least once a week.
Sessions:
I have made so many positive changes in my life because of Arolyn’s help and guidance. I have a better understanding of who I am , I am able to express how I feel in a calm and rational manner now. I have been able to work through some dark past because of Aroyln’s help. I had a bad couple of years where I lost my job, i lost several family members and friends and with Arolyn’s words and suggestions. I have been able to resolve a lot of my own personal issues and feelings.
Conclusion:
Arolyn’s sessions are worth every penny and she really does a great job of listening,getting to know her clients and offering helpful words when needed. She is always professional and she is very motivational. If you need professional help she is the person to see. You won’t regret it !

Arolyn was a breath of fresh air. I very much enjoyed chatting with her and thought her advice was very actionable, useful, and easy to implement. As others have mentioned, she is great listener, has a wonderful sense of humor,and was always eager

to help. I highly recommend her as an advisor and general ‘good ear’.

I have been a client of Arolyn’s for both hypnotherapy and talk therapy and cannot sing her praises enough. In regards to hypnotherapy, it is clear she is very experienced,but she is also very willing to listen to you and work with

  your individual needs. She tailored hypnotherapy to my own needs so well that I had great success towards my goals while working with her. Arolyn thrives as an MFT as well though. I have gone to Arolyn for therapy through some of the most difficult times of my life and she has helped me not only survive these troubling times but come out the other end feeling stronger and more stable. Now when faced with challenges in my life, I have learned how to not drown in my feelings of being overwhelmed, but rather to be my own lifeguard in addressing difficult situations by finding solutions that will keep me safe mentally and emotionally. I have heard many of her clients say that Arolyn is a wonderful listener, and I agree wholeheartedly. I always feel that she is understanding and sympathetic, and I do not feel judged at all when speaking with her. But I also wanted to note that she is a very engaged therapist and actively helps you understand your issues and work through them. Ultimately there is a degree of emotional growth and a level of maturity I have achieved with Arolyn’s help that I would not have reached without her. I believe she can help anyone achieve that growth too.

Oh my goodness where to start Arolyn really listens and hears what is saidand from the very first appointment it felt it right. Always the professional in her manner. She explains the processes we will be doing and makes sure that it understood clearly before starting

and it has been the greatest way to see results in a short time. I have had so many positive reactions to the changes others people see in me. No doubt the best time and money I have ever invested in me

Ms Burns has been incredibly helpful. I did not have great expectations for this type of therapy but was impressed by her manner and helpful techniques. She seems very professional yet I also felt comfortable They have very nice chairs in their waiting room.

It was a nice start to my appointment and helped me feel more comfortable and relaxed. They were ready to see me when I showed up for my appointment. I never had to wait for them to show up. I am always so impressed with how quickly my calls are answered here. I am never put on hold for a long time and love knowing that if I have a quick question I won’t have to wait a half hour through terrible music to get it answered. When comparing them to others I have visited for the same condition, they are among the best I have seen.

Arolyn

Arolyn is a very kind and skilled therapist. She is straight forward and helps you see issues in a clear light. She doesn’t just listen, she gives suggestions for action.

Fran

I had an excellent experience with Arolyn.She has helped me learn how to manage my mental health. I had problems with my confidency. Couldn’t make friends. Was shy to talk to people. Didn’t want to go out.I felt lonely and depressed.Arolyn was super professional, kind and very patient with me. Now I am a new person. Thank you Arolyn for your excellent work.

I like the approach and very simple way to follow to get the best result. Ms.Burns is very professional and knowledgeable, her techniques are very useful and I got a good resolute following her technique. I would recommend her very much ! I got so much energy and life has been amazing since I started working with her.

Arolyn is a great listener and provides valuable feedback. She often gives thoughtful homework assignments.Whenever I talk to he, I feel heard and understood. I highly recommend Arolyn.

As a highly sensitive person, I always felt like something was wrong with me. This book reframed it as strength and gave me permission to stop apologizing for how I’m wired. The sections on managing overwhelm and protecting your energy changed how I move through the world. would definitely recommend.

After years of therapy that focused only on talk and medication, this book introduced me to techniques I had never encountered. The combination of EMDR explanation and hypnotherapy methods gave me tools that actually address my panic attacks. I finally understand what’s happening in my body and how to respond effectively.

As someone living with fibromyalgia, I have tried countless treatments with minimal success. The visualization techniques and essential oil protocols outlined in this book provided the first meaningful relief I have experienced in years. Recommended highly!

I work in a high stress environment and my anger was affecting both my professional and personal relationships. The practical exercises in the anger management section, particularly the physical release techniques, have given me ways to manage my responses before situations escalate. My family has noticed a significant difference.

This book validated my experience as a highly sensitive person in ways no other resource has. Rather than treating sensitivity as a disorder to fix, Arolyn reframes it as a valuable trait. The self-care strategies she provides have helped me protect my energy while still engaging fully with the world around me.
