Stress can be outlined as a state we experience while there is a mismatch between perceived demands and our coping ability. Stress can also be outlined as an adaptive response by a body to changes in the environment.
Stress response evolved to enable mankind to contend with life-threatening dangers or stressors such as being confronted with a hostile human or even a wild animal.
Situations like this required action – the activating of the stress response to either remain and fight back or to run away.
Nowadays, we hopefully wont have to endure the same dangers as our ancestors, however the stress response to rigorous situations we encounter is still with us and our mind and body still prepare for fight or flight when confronted with this equivalent of the wild animal.
This is where the problem might begin as activation of the fight or flight response with no physical release, much as if we are stuck in a traffic jam and can’t fight it or flee from it, or maybe an unfair confrontation in the workplace where once again the call for action might be triggered only we cant vent it by fighting or running away without consequences we would rather avoid.
Possibly several of these events and more are experienced on the same day, possibly every day, and the stress level builds within us until it can damage our health because of the endless pressure directed upon our immune system.
The resulting reduction in efficiency of our immune system may then open us up to many undesirable symptoms such as yeast overgrowth, rashes, indigestion, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, migraines and headaches, diminished memory efficiency and a tendency to grow negative and depressed unless a solution is found and healing is facilitated.
Stress isn’t always damaging – the stress response was designed to serve and protect us and many people even position themselves in stressful situations they understand they can manage for excitement and ‘the rush’ as it is frequently called.
We all experience stress in various ways depending upon our personality type, conditioning and possible training also.
When we endure a stressor but comprehend we have the ability to contend with it successfully, a feeling of success and achievement can be gained. Finding the balance right between positive stress to motivate us and encourage us to develop, and our ability to deal with the stress is possibly the key to remaining healthy, positive and effective in whatever area of life we find ourselves.
Our power to cope with stress can be affected by our dieting and the consumption of good substances that out body needs to remain strong and flexible and to repair itself when essential. Also we should avoid anything that could cause us to be more upset or weaker, such as drugs, alcohol, smoking, lack of sleep, poor diet, etc.
Finally, our stress can be mostly external, some issue or situation that is causing stress, or internal attitudes or emotions that lead to stress (anxiety, guilt, low self esteem, fear, etc).
Hypnosis allows you to enter a state of deep relaxation which in itself is a very functional therapy for combating stress. It also allows one to become calm and focused, as all the parts of the mind work in concert and centralise on solving the problem at hand.
Hypnotherapy thus provides relaxation (and clients of good therapists learn self-hypnosis so they can find this deep relaxation for themselves) and is therefore functional at even this basic level, as a form of first aid.
The good hypnotherapist will assist the client to disintegrate any suppressed emotions, triggers and false instincts from the past that are a kind of outdated misconception, or perhaps just no longer required or needed programming, that loops around once activated to cause us much anxiety and feelings of panic, but we often don’t even consciously know why.
Observing this, the wonderful power of hypnotic suggestion and therapy will be employed to provide new and efficient programming to support moves forward into a much greater positive life with a better mindset on everything.
