Anxiety Can Help You Combat Stres


What is Stress?

Stress is our body’s response to pressure. When we’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed or under pressure, our bodies release hormones like adrenaline and cortisol that help us deal with the situation.


While a little stress can be good for us – it can make us more alert, motivated and energetic – too much stress can have harmful effects on our health, including causing anxiety, depression and heart problems.


Stress can be caused by many different things, but it is often triggered when we experience something new, unexpected or that threatens our sense of self. For example, if you are starting a new job and feel overwhelmed by the new tasks, or if you are going through a particularly tough time. Regardless, stress can become overwhelming and weigh heavily on us.


We all react to stress differently. Some people may become withdrawn, while others may lash out. Some people may cope by using alcohol or drugs, while others may overeat. For some people, their reaction to stress can be unhealthy and negatively impact their mental and also physical health. That's why it is important to find a way to address stressful situations in a healthy manner. That's where hypnotherapy comes in.


How Does Hypnotherapy Help to Fight Stress?

Hypnotherapy has been used to combat stress for a long time. It is particularly effective at doing this. At The Self Image Institute, we can help you find a way to deal with stress in a healthy way, preventing it from becoming overwhelming.


Hypnotherapy treatment can help with stress in a number of ways.


Hypnotherapy can help you to relax and feel more in control. It can also help you to deal with any underlying issues that may be causing your stress. This can make it easier for you to manage your stress in the future. One key element of a stressful situation, is the feeling of losing control. Many of us get stressed in situations where we feel as though our grip on proceedings are slipping and we are losing control. Whilst some people may be able to deal with this, others simply find this too overwhelming. Therefore, hypnotherapy is utilised to calm the mind and allow us to think clearly and regain control.


Hypnotherapy treatment can also help us in approaching situations differently. We utilise hypnotherapy treatment to alter the way the mind addresses situations. Whilst some people may look to solve every issue at once, or perhaps avoid stressful situations, hypnotherapy allows us to address these issues head on and calmly. This allows us to reduce stress as we are able to think clearly and find a solution in a calm manner without getting overwhelmed. As mentioned earlier, hypnotherapy treatment adopts a holistic approach and addresses the root of the issue, not just the reaction to a stressful situation. In many cases, it is the way that we deal with situations that determines the level of stress we experience. Therefore, hypnotherapy treatment targets our approaches to situations, rather than specific cases. As a result, we find that clients are able to utilise their new skills and mindset in a variety of stressful situations and are no longer overwhelmed.


What To Expect in A Hypnotherapy Session for Stress

When you come in for your first hypnotherapy treatment session to help with stress, We will ask you a variety of questions. Your therapist will ask you about your current stressors and how they affect your life. They will also want to know about your medical history and any other mental health conditions you may have. Be prepared to answer these questions honestly so that the therapist can create a tailored treatment plan for you. Honesty and transparency from all parties is crucial as it ensures that we can find the root of your problem and address it directly. We see the best results when our clients are as open as possible.


During the hypnotherapy session, the therapist will guide you into a state of relaxation. This may happen through deep breathing exercises, visualisation, or other methods. Once you are relaxed, the therapist will then begin to work on changing your thoughts and beliefs about stress. This may involve positive affirmations, reframing negative thoughts, or other techniques. We try to alter the way our clients see stress and encourage them to tackle it in a healthy manner.


We will continue this over multiple sessions, slowly shifting your mindset until you no longer see stress as a negative force in your life. Hypnotherapy treatment is particularly effective for stress because it addresses the root of the problem- your thoughts and beliefs. Once we change the way you think, the stress will no longer have power over you. Hypnotherapy trearment is effective in overcoming fundamental, unhealthy approaches to stress and uses hypnosis to alter clients' ways of thinking. As a result, we often see positive responses and clients dealing with stress in a healthy way.
