Stress and Hypnotherapy.
Without doubt hypnosis is a very effective stress treatment of stress. Stress develops when an individual feel he does not have the required resources to cope with a task he is confronted with. Hypnosis changes belief, preception and ability to cope so the subject no longer feels he is no longer incapable.
Dr. Lipton said that up to 90% of diseases are directly due to stress. Vital organs are straved of nutrients and oxygen by persistent stress. This is fine on occasions but when it becomes persistent, diseases are likely.
It is not the situation you confront that is the cause of stress but by the the perception of that situation and whether you feel you have the coping mechanisms to deal with it. hypnotherapyworks remarkably well in stress because it changes your perception, expectation and belief.
Following hypnosis treatment, extremely stressful tasks are transformed into tasks you can easily do because, you now know that you have the resources to successfully carry out anything you are faced with little effort on your part.
During hypnosis, you become deeply relaxed and drop down to brainwave level theta. At theta brainwave level, the barriers that block unwanted information from reaching the Subconscious Mind, relax and the hypnotherapist can alter attitude, belief and expectation.
The safety and power of hypnosis as a stress and anxiety is undeniable. Another recommended stress treatment is meditation. Meditation, however, is difficult in a stressed person because it is not easy to relax and carry out the disciplines. Best practice is to use hypnosis in the first instance and then introduce meditation for the long term and overall life enhancement.
Lets face it. Stress is an unpleasant thing. It takes your libido away. It steals enjoyment out of your life. You can develop anger, rage, anxiety and depression. During stress you become less creative and makes unnecessary mistakes.
The most serious problem with stress, however, is that it stimulates the heart and shuts off vital nutrients to important organs of the body by triggering the fight or flight reaction. This is why research has shown it is responsible for 90% of all diseases. Annually millions of days are lost in industry through stress and the cost to healthy services is enormous.
Hypnosis can change your attitude to stress and it is not just a treatment for your present stress but it gives you belief and coping skills to control stress in the long term.
In a hypnotic session, powerful post hypnotic suggestions are given not just on how to cope with your current situation but generally on all aspects of your life. Things a hypnotist will say are, “You are calm and relaxed. You will have no fear when confronting any situation and know that if it can be done, you are very capable and competent to do it.” This type of post hypnotic suggestion enables you to adopt the attitude, “What is fast and best way of doing this?” rather than, “This task is beyond me.”
So have hypnotherapy rather than drugs, counselling, CBT or psychotherapy for safe and better control of stres. Remember hypnosis is nothing more than a state of heightened awareness where your right brain becomes very alert. The Subconscious Mind is not analytical or filters like the left brain. While remaining in a deep relaxed state, the Subconscious MInd simply accepts positive suggestions.
