Stress can be outlined as a state we experience whenever there is a mismatch between perceived demands and our coping ability. Stress can also be outlined as an adaptational reaction by a body to alterations in the surroundings.
Stress response evolved to enable humans to deal with grievous dangers or stressors such as being confronted with a hostile human or even a wild animal.
Situations like this expected action – the activating of the stress response to either stay and fight back or to run away.
Nowadays, we hopefully wont have to confront the same dangers as our ancestors, nonetheless the stress response to rigorous situations we encounter is still with us and our mind and body still prepare for fight or flight whenever confronted with this equivalent of the wild animal.
This is where the issue might begin as activation of the fight or flight response with no physical outlet, such as if we are stuck in a traffic jam and can’t fight it or flee from it, or perhaps an unfair confrontation in the workplace where again the response for action may be sparked but we cant vent it by fighting or running away without consequences we would rather avoid.
Possibly several of these events or 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 unceasing pressure placed upon our immune system.
The resulting reduction in efficiency of our immune system might then open us up to numerous unwelcome symptoms such as yeast overgrowth, rashes, indigestion, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, headaches and migraines, diminished memory efficiency and a tendency to grow negative and depressed unless a closure is discovered and healing is facilitated.
Stress isn’t always damaging – the stress response was designed to support and protect us and many people even position themselves in stressful places they understand they can manage for excitement and ‘the thrill’ as it is often called.
We all feel stress in various means depending upon our personality type, conditioning and possible training also.
Whenever we endure a stressor but perceive we have the ability to deal with it successfully, a feeling of success and achievement can be gained. Finding the balance right between good stress to motivate us and encourage us to grow, and our ability to cope with the stress is perhaps the key to remaining healthy, positive and effective in any area of life we find ourselves.
Our power to cope with stress can be affected by our diet and the intake of good substances that out body needs to remain strong and flexible and to repair itself whenever needed. Also we should avoid anything that could cause us to be more stressed 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 creating stress, or internal attitudes or emotions that lead to stress (anxiety, guilt, low self esteem, fear, etc).
Hypnosis allows an individual to enter a state of deep relaxation which in itself is a very functional therapy for battling stress. It also allows one to become calm and focused, as all the components of the mind work together and centralise on resolving the issue at hand.
Hypnotherapy therefore provides relaxation (and clients of good therapists learn self-hypnosis so they can find this deep relaxation for themselves) and is therefore usable at even this basic level, as a form of first aid.
The good therapist will assist the client to disintegrate any repressed emotions, triggers and false instincts from the past that are a kind of out-of-date 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.
Following this, the fantastic power of hypnotic suggestion and therapy will be used to provide new and efficient programming to support moves forward into a much greater positive life with an improved mindset on everything.
