Hypnotherapy and Stress.

December 5, 2009

There is no doubt that hypnosis is a very effective stress treatment of stress. When an individual feels he does not have the resources to cope with a task he is confronted with stress develops. Hypnosis works by changing perception, belief and ability to cope so the subject no longer feels he is no longer incapable.

90% of diseases are caused by 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 way you perceive this situation and whether you feel you have the power in you to deal with it. hypnotherapyis a very effective treatment for stress because it alters your belief, perception and expectation.

Following hypnosis treatment, things that trigger extreme stress are converted to easy tasks because, you now know 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 theta brainwave level, the barriers that block unwanted information from reaching the Subconscious Mind, relax and the hypnotist is then able to embed positive changes in attitude, belief and expectation.

The safety and power of hypnosis as treatment of 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 stress control 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.

Worse of all, because it triggers the fight or flight reaction, it shuts off important nutrients to some organs of the body while at the same time stimulating the heart. 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 the health providers is enormous.

Attitude to stress can be changed by hypnosis and provides not just short term stress control but coping skills for 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 have no fear when confronting any situation and know that if it can be done, you are very capable and competent to do it.” Effective post hypnotic suggestion will help you to approach your next task with the attitude, “What is fast and best way of doing this?” rather than, “This task is beyond me.”

So instead of drugs, counselling, psychotherapy or CBT, have hypnotherapy for safe and better control of stres. Remember hypnosis is nothing more than a state of heightened awareness and your brain becomes alert and receptive. The Subconscious Mind is not analytical 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.
