Hypnotherapy is an effective treatment of stress.
There is no doubt that 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.
90% of diseases are directly due to stress, said Dr. Lipton. Persistent stress starves vital organs of nutrients and oxygen. On the odd occasion this is not a problem 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 power in you to deal with it. hypnotherapyworks remarkably well in stress because it alters your belief, perception and expectation.
Following hypnosis treatment, things that trigger extreme stress are converted to easy tasks because, you have the belief that you have the resources to successfully carry out anything you are faced with little effort on your part.
Hypnosis takes you down to a deep relaxed state and to brainwave level theta. At this level, the filters that block unwanted messages to enter the Subconscious Mind,ease their tight grip and the hypnotherapist can alter belief, attitude and expectation.
Hypnosis is without doubt a powerful and safe anxiety and stress treatment. Meditation is an effective tool and recommended for stress. It is, however, very difficult to see how a stressed person can relax, and if he or she cannot relax, meditation becomes very difficult. It is better to have hypnosis as an immediate treatment and use meditation for the long term and overall life enhancement.
Anyone who has experienced stress will tell you stress is an unpleasant thing. The fun goes out of your life and your libido goes away. Anger, rage, anxiety and depression are symptoms you can develop. Creativity lessens during stress and unnecessary mistakes increase.
The most serious problem with stress, however, is that it shuts off nutrients to important organs by triggering the fight or flight reaction and stimulating the heart. Researchers believe this is the reason it is the underlying cause for 90% of diseases. In industry there are millions of days a year lost through stress and the cost to healthy services is enormous.
Attitude to stress can be changed by hypnosis 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.
During hypnosis, the hypnotist will give you very powerful and effective post hypnotic suggestions 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 relaxed and calm. You will confront any situation calmly 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 approach your next task with the attitude, “Now what is the best way to do this?” rather than, “This task is beyond me.”
So have hypnotherapy rather than drugs, counselling, CBT or psychotherapy for safe and outstanding results of all your stress problems. Bear in mind that hypnosis is nothing more than a state of heightened awareness and your brain becomes alert and receptive. It does not analyse or filters like the left brain. The Subconscious Mind simply accepts positive suggestions by the hypnotist while you remain in a calm relaxed altered sleep.
Fight or Fright Reaction and Stress.
Consider these three different scenarios.
A sales rep is having a difficult time during the recession. His recent records show poor sales. He is about to meet a big and important new client who could be his saviour. Success will decide whether he still has a job or not.
A man is madly and desperately in love with this attractive and popular woman. To him there is no future without her but there are other men trying to attract her attention. The table is set for two, the ring is in his hand and the red roses lie near by. She is due any minute and he will ask her to marry him and he does not know what her answer will be.
A woman walking home alone late at night. The street is dimly lit. Suddenly she hears footsteps ahead of her. A group of people wearing hoodies is walking towards her. She now hears footsteps behind her. She turns around to see a group of youths walking towards her.
Although there is potential danger in only one scenario, a person becomes very focussed and alert. This is the fight and fright reaction.
This is a reaction in humans and animals that developed a long time ago to protect us from life threatening dangers. In this reaction, the brain triggers the release of the hormones adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisone.These hormones cause a remarkable change in the body.
The breathing becomes faster and deeper, the heart speeds up, the pupils dilate, the mouth becomes dry, the skin becomes cold and clammy and hairs on the back of the neck stand up.
You may even want to vomit, open your bowels or urinate. This is the brain trying to lighten the load to move faster during ‘flight’.
The fight or fright reaction prepares the body for action. You become alert and aware. Your senses are very sharp. Your sense of smell, sight and hearing are all sharpened. Your body is now functioning at it optimum.
Your heart, beating faster pumps extra blood to the brain and the muscles. By breathing faster and deeper, more oxygen is transported by the blood to the muscles and brain. In addition blood is shunted away temporarily from other vital organs such as the kidneys, immune system and the gut to enable more blood to the muscles.
Although the fight and fright reaction is primeval and developed when early humans had to confront huge and dangerous reptiles and mammals, it is still present today. The only problem, however, is that the brain cannot differentiate between real and percieved dangers or threats. The reaction is the same.
In all three scenarios above, the fight or fright reaction is triggered.
Panic attacks are severe episodes of the fight or fright reaction and, to the individual during an attack the danger or threat is very real. Rational thoughts go out the window and there is nothing to fight and no where to run to.
In stress, the fight or flight reaction is triggered even thought there is no threat to our lives and can be harmful to the body. If persistent, it can cause diseases.
Knowing the effects of the fight or fright reaction on stress will help you make some sense about the symptoms of stress you experience with stress.
What Causes Stress?
This article looks into the causes of stress and gives free tips to help you control and reduce your worries. I have, as I am sure many people do, stressed for most of my life for many different reasons. Even though I still worry about many things, I have now learned how to handle many of these situations and will write about how I go about doing this, in this article.
I do not work within the stress management industry and am in fact a web promotion expert from the UK. I also work on other projects to do with offering stuttering advice and for cost reduction consultants who offer cheap calls.
I am the kind of person who likes to have a simple and settled life. I would normally start to become a bit stressed when something big is about to happen such as a wedding. I am also somebody that is rather adverse to change; I like the way things are currently so why do we need to change them? This might seem a little crazy to you but I am just trying to tell you the way it is. I am not the kind of person who likes change, therefore things like moving house is something which will cause me a lot of stress. I have actually moved house four times in the last six years, not very clever for someone like me. I am now happy where I live and plan to stay at this abode for a long time.
I am also self-employed. There are many things I love about being self-employed, the fact that I am my own boss, I can choose my own hours, I have no-one to answer or to report to and the all round freedom it gives me. I often stress however that business will go through a bad period and that I do not have the security of a regular income. How will I pay the mortgage? How will I pay my car loan? How will I feed and clothe my children? These are all the things that at times can keep me awake at night.
I now have started to build up a back-up fund in a bank account. When business is doing well, I put as much money as I can into this account, which I can then use in the leaner times. This gives me a peace of mind and therefore I do not have to worry so much. Business will go through good and bad periods and this way I can easily cope when it does go slow.
I used to also worry about how I would pay my tax bill at the end of the year, however I have also started to put money away each month similar to the above example, to pay for it.
I now try and think about all of my worries in a logical manner and instead of losing sleep over them I try to find solutions.
I also feel stressed and I am not sure why it is, the day after I have a night out drinking alcohol. In the morning and nowadays since I am getting older, throughout the day, I often feel lethargic and my mind starts to play tricks on me. It makes me feel negative about the future and makes me worry about a whole host of issues. It now takes me around forty-eight hours to recover from a boozy night out and affects my family and work life. I have now decided that I will go out far less and that when I do, I will limit the amount I drink.
These are other things that can cause me to stress:
When I have basically been working too hard!
When I have had a lack of sleep
During and after an illness
After an argument with my girlfriend
When I am invited to a social occasion which I do not want to go to, such as a wedding
A visit from my girlfriends family for say a weekend
Going on holiday
Some of the above may seem a bit bizarre to some people who read this article, however I am trying to be truthful. Yes going on holiday does cause me to worry. I have to say that I am a terrible flyer. I am not ready to die and certainly do not want to be invloved in any kind of disaster. Then there is the hotel; what if it is manky? What if it is not clean? I also worry that somebody in my family may become ill during the holiday. What would I do if this happened? In reality I am sure that I would cope but it is just going into the unknown that scares me.
One thing which I am now careful to ensure of, is that I get enough sleep. I have to admit something here; I adore going to bed and I love going to sleep. I am fairly confident that I could sleep for a whole day if needed! OK maybe this is going slightly overboard but I am sure you know what I mean. My bed is where I feel safe and comfortable. I used to fall into a trap of working too hard and would then stay up late, possibly watching the television. I would set my alarm to wake me up early and I would then start the whole process over again.
From reading a book about stress management, I discovered that sleep was one of the best forms of stress-relief. It had to be worth a try and try I most certainly did. I am happy to report that it does work. I now stay in bed an hour later in the mornings and where possible, I am in bed by 10pm at night.
I am also now attempting to take life in my stride. What happens will happen and I will deal with each challenge on its own merit. I try to deal with potential problems in a positive way and realise that if life was very smooth and easy, that it would probably be quite boring.
I now appreciate what I have in life and instead of looking at the future full of dread, I look forward to what life will bring. I am fully aware of the fact that there will be some tough periods in my life; I am ready for these and am confident that I will be able to cope with them.
Nowadays when I do feel down and miserable, I tend to spend as much time as possible with my children, as they make me happy and can soon put a smile back onto my face.

Dr. Lipton said that up to 90% of diseases are caused by stress. Persistent stress starves vital organs of nutrients and oxygen. This is fine on occasions but diseases are likely when it becomes persistent.

The safety and power of hypnosis as a stress and anxiety is undeniable. Meditation is an effective tool and recommended for stress. Meditation, however, is difficult in a stressed person because it is not easy to relax and carry out the disciplines. It is better to have hypnosis as an immediate treatment and use 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. Anger, rage, anxiety and depression are symptoms you can develop. During stress you become less creative and makes unnecessary mistakes.
Worse of all, because it triggers the fight or flight reaction, it shuts off important nutrients to some organs of the body and stimulating the heart. Researchers believe this is the reason it is the underlying cause for 90% of diseases. In industry there are millions of days a year lost through stress and the cost to the health providers is enormous.

He is likely to say, “You are calm and relaxed. You will confront any situation calmly and know that if it can be done, you are very capable and competent to do it.” Effective post hypnotic suggestion enables you to adopt the attitude, “What is fast and best way of doing this?” rather than, “I don’t think I can do this.”
So have hypnotherapy rather than drugs, counselling, CBT or psychotherapy for safe and better control of all your stress problems. Bear in mind that hypnosis is simply a state of heightened awareness and your brain becomes alert and receptive. 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.
