HYPNOTHERAPY FOR STRESS RELIEF

Due to our own choices, many people suffer from stress. Stress is our worst enemy and the cause of the majority of one’s ailments, aches and pains and often enough our demise (causing heart attacks and strokes).

Stress is caused by many different reactions due to our lifestyle, economic, work / school and peer pressure.

Stress stops a person from thinking clearly, making them overreact to situations thus making them overreact again, causing more stress and so on and so on… It is a vicious circle and the probable cause of most mental and physical illnesses.

One of our most important factors of personal well-being and longevity is stress relief.

In this day and age of pills and potions, Hypnosis is often overlooked as a stress relief.

When a person learns that they can, in fact, overcome and control their stress, the entire body is affected in a positive way. Making one calmer, thus, sleep easier, feel more energised and thus making one more active which in turn is a great stress release.

Calmness, therefore, can help a person to heal, think positively, achieve and be the person they want to be.

Stress is what it is… stress is how one feels physically, mentally or emotionally when one is under too much pressure.
Pressure can be caused by a variety of “stressors” caused from work / school, home or your personal life. Each and every person reacts and copes differently to stress.

Stressors can range from Micro stressors, the daily hassles and minor annoyances such as difficult colleagues, traffic jams, academic deadlines etc. to more severe stressors. Major negative events, such as the death or loss of a loved one, academic / career failure, illness or being the victim of a serious crime, place strong demands on a person and require major efforts to cope. Catastrophic events tend to occur expectantly and can include traumatic natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism even psychological torture. All three classes have significant negative effects.

CAUSES OF STRESS

It is difficult to identify the exact causes of stress, however, some of the biggest and most common causes include loss, change, uncertainty, conflicts in belief systems or life cycle transitions and events that place strong demands on us.

The brain does not distinguish between real or imagined stress, and stress levels are alleviated by what we think rather than what has or is actually happened or happening. It is not always the situation itself that causes stress, but one’s reaction to the situation.

Counselling and therapy (psycho and cognitive) can help individuals to understand their way of thinking, however, Hypnotherapy is effective for managing stress. Hypnotherapy alters our reaction to particular situations during hypnosis, to a more positive one; feelings about the particular situation are turned to positive ones. When the situation is experienced in real life, the reaction is different and that of a positive nature.

When a person learns that they can, in fact, overcome and control their stress, the entire body is affected in a positive way. Making one calmer, thus, sleep easier, feel more energised and thus making one more active, which in turn is a great stress release.
Calmness, therefore, can help a person to heal, think positively, achieve and be the person they want to be.
Once a person perceives himself or herself as unable to cope with their level of stress, problems start to occur.
