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.

Today, due to the economic climate it seems that more people are under deeper stress than before.  Life is definitely tough sometimes but with the US unemployment rate at or over ten percent, many believe the true number is higher, individual stress levels appear to be increasing.

So, what are some simple things we can do to alleviate stress? These may be obvious, but sometimes a little reminder is helpful.

1. Listen to your favorite music

2. There are alpha wave attunement CDs that allow your mind to move into an alpha wave state – also known as ‘relaxed alertness’.

3. Meditation – The most powerful and relaxing set of meditative exercises I know of are from Falun Dafa to be found for free at FalunDafa.org

4. Take time to quietly sit and think of nothing in particular – this is close to, but not as good as the meditation mentioned above. 

Another thing to be conerned about during times of higher stress is yor oral health.  Stress is a contributing / risk factor for gum disease.

To help counter act this use an oral irrigator like the hydrofloss.

Gum disease is a big problem anyway, and people need to know what they can do about this silent epidemic that may afflict up to 75% of all people according to statistics.  Some say the numbers are even higher.

Take a look at the special mouthwash made by a company called therabreath.

Finally, some people prefer a more natural approach to fighting oral health problems.  In that case, there is an essential oil blend known as oramd that you may find helpful. 

When stress levels are high, it is much easier for verbal and even physical conflicts to occur between people. Now is the time, more than ever, to keep a cool head and be kind, forgiving and compassionate to our fellow man.  As high as our personal stress level may be, remember your neighbor’s could be even higher. 

Forgive and forget and move on.

Finally, reward yourself by watching a cool, exciting and yet relaxing show called Shen Yun : ShenYunPerformingArts.org

In the past I have worked for companies whose employees have made my life unbearable. These work colleagues were completely two-faced, extremely imature and very annoying – the majority of them deserved a slap. There have been many a time when I have really not wanted to go to work; in fact I would go as far as saying that I feared going to work – yes that is how bad it became at certain stages.

I would return home feeling very drained and would have little energy to do anything in the evenings. I would then decide to go to bed early but would basically just lay their worrying about the next day. This could last for hours on end and at times would last all of the night.

Luckily I am now self-employed working within various sectors including stuttering therapy, business cost reduction and becoming a foster carer.

I have read that plenty of sleep is a good way at reducing levels of stress, the question is, how does one get to sleep in the first place?

For all the stress I had to endure, I certainly was not paid enough. I was less than impressed with the way in which my co-workers, including the management, treated me – I was worth more than this – they treated me at times like some piece of dirt at the bottom of their shoes. It has to be said that this stage of my life was not exactly the brightest; I even started to become quite ill – no doubt because of the amount that I was stressing.

I wanted to leave this company a lot earlier than the time that I eventually did, the problem was that I did not feel that I could afford to. I needed to think of a way of escaping this madness. There was absolutely no way that I could continue to work for these and with these idiots. As previously stated it had started to affect my health as well as my overall level of self-confidence. I started to save as much as I could possibly afford to on a monthly basis and believed that within 6 months I could be out of there. At the same time I started to look at finding alternative work and thought long and hard about which career path I wanted to take.

On the day that I left this job, I will never forget my journey home. I could not stop smiling, I was so relieved that this nightmare was over once and for all.

As a parent it is important that we understand what potential problems our child has. It goes without saying that many children have various anxieties and worries; I know that I certainly had quite a few as I was growing up. In this article, I write about the types of fears that this might be and about how we can help our children to cope and to get through life in the best possible and stress-free way.

I am by now a child social worker and what I write within this article is just my own personal opinion. I actually work within the composite front doors industry; I am also involved with a training for foster carers company and with a group of cost reduction specialists.

Many children are able to pick up on what their parents are worrying about. They may hear arguments about money and can then start to worry themselves about the financial situation their family may be in. I am a parent myself and try where possible to only discuss serious issues with my partner when the children are out or are asleep. If I believe that one of my children has overheard a conversation which I would have rather they hadn’t, I then talk to them to attempt to reassure them that everything is OK.

Children may also worry that their parents may break up and that they will end up living apart. They will no doubt hear that this has happened to their friends and may wonder and stress about how their lives would change if this happened to them.

My children have told me that they worry and that they fear that one of their parents may die in the near future. It is quite difficult to explain to them that this is unlikely to happen as it obviously could. I try and laugh it off which may not be the best policy, by stating that I am still very young and that I have no plans to leave this planet in the near future. I explain to them the age that the average male will live to in our country and that normally, I hope, makes them feel better.

Another form of stress and anxiety for many children, is of course, attending school. Will they be able to comprehend all of the work that they are given? Will they be able to obtain a good examination mark and a good report? Will they be able to make their parents proud of them? I have told my own children not to worry about these issues and to just try their best.

Socialising and meeting friends can also bring its own tensions. Children make and break friends at regular intervals, especially during the early teenage years. It can be quite stressful when friends have a disagreement or argument. When this happens to my children, I make a point of saying that it has been the fourth time in a month that you and Amy as an example, have had a falling out. Your sure to make friends again in the near future.

As children get a bit older there is then the challenge of meeting a member of the opposite sex. We all know the problems and strains that this can bring. At this time I think it is just a matter of being there for your children and getting them through these difficult years the best and easiest way possible.

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.

As a parent it is important that we understand what potential problems our child has. I think that we would all agree that the majority of children have a certain amount of fears and anxieties. In this article, I write about the types of fears that this might be and about how we can help our children to cope and to get through life in the best possible and stress-free way.

I am by now a child social worker and what I write within this article is just my own personal opinion. I actually work within the stammering therapy industry; I am also involved with a DVD authoring company and with a group of cost reduction consultants.

The majority of children are more than capable of being able to pick up on the anxieties of their parents. Money is a perfect example; the child may have listened to its parents discussing their money worries, this can then potentially make the child start to become anxious about the family’s financial situation. I am a parent myself and try where possible to only discuss serious issues with my partner when the children are out or are asleep. I am quick to re-assure my own child if I am of the opinion that he has overheard a conversation that in truth I would have preferred he had not listened to.

Children may also worry that their parents may break up and that they will end up living apart. They will no doubt hear that this has happened to their friends and may wonder and stress about how their lives would change if this happened to them.

My children have told me that they worry and that they fear that one of their parents may die in the near future.

School can be another area of stress for some children. Will they be able to cope and understand the work? Will they be able to obtain a good examination mark and a good report? Will they be able to make their parents proud of them? I have told my own children not to worry about these issues and to just try their best.

Socialising and meeting friends can also bring its own tensions. I am sure that we all remember our own childhoods and the fact that we regularly break friends but that we normally, eventually, make up again. When friends fall out this can be a very stressful time for any child. When this happens to my children, I make a point of saying that it has been the fourth time in a month that you and Amy as an example, have had a falling out. Your sure to make friends again in the near future.
