Stress

Stress is how the body automatically responds to real or imagined danger or threat. By stimulating the body into the process of “fight-or-flight”, we become focused, energetic, and alert and have the strength needed to defend ourselves or assist in an emergency situation. It can also help to sharpen concentration for a presentation at work or an exam, but there comes a point where stress isn’t helpful and it starts to damage health, mood, productivity, relationships and quality of life.

Stress can be caused by many things bur generally anything that places a high demand can be stressful and this can include events that are seen as positive - getting married, buying a house, going to university or being promoted. Causes of stress can include:

·      Major life changes

·      Work or school problems

·      Relationship difficulties

·      Financial problems

·      Busy schedules

·      Children and family

·      Pessimism

·      Negativity

·      Perfectionism

The physical, mental and emotional demands of modern life can be considerable and whatever the cause, stress is a difficult thing to live with. It can feel exhausting and take its toll on both mental and physical health.

Hypnotherapy can help deal with stress by boosting feelings of confidence and self-belief and reducing feelings of fear and intense worry. It can also help to develop the calm state of mind needed to overcome the emotions that often come with stress.
