Stress is the feeling of being under too much emotional or mental pressure. It can affect anyone
of any age and from any background, and there are a multitude of different things that can push our
stress levels to the limit; everyday living is full of burdens, annoyances and tough decisions that
have to be made. You might know what it is that is making you feel stressed and anxious or maybe you don't; it could
be an event from your past or something stressing you out in your life right now.
Stress and anxiety can influence how you feel, think, behave and also how your body functions. Sleep problems,
increased sweating, a loss of appetite and problems concentrating are common signs of stress.
Do you often tend to be distracted and/or grumpy?
Is it difficult to focus sometimes because you feel like you can’t cope?
Do you find it easy to let go of anger or frustration?
If you feel tense or stressed can you settle down and relax yourself easily?
Do you feel you can talk to others when you are stressed to help you to calm down?
Hypnotherapy can be a great tool to help with managing stress and could assist you in improving your
ability to deal with things in a calmer, more productive way to ensure you get the very best out of
life.. if that's what you want?
You may think that the very worst stress or anxiety would be caused by distressing events, such as a car crash
or physical attack. However continual, daily stresses can be just as destructive; constant small
challenges can grind you down, even if you might not realise it's a problem.
Some frequent causes of stress include:
Money worries
Problems at work/career changes
Relationship difficulties
The death of a family member, loved one or pet
Family problems
Exams and tests
Normally (when it is functioning correctly) the stress response helps you stay focussed, alert and helps
you meet challenges but beyond that it can stop being a helpful tool and start to have a major affect
on your health, your mood, your efficiency, your relationships, and your quality of life.
Hypnotherapy could help you take charge of your thoughts, your emotions and the way you deal with situations.
It may also help ensure that you are taking care of yourself and making time for therapeutic rest and relaxation.
