Control stress with hypnosis.
Sunday, September 27th, 2009There is no doubt that hypnosis is a very effective treatment of stress. Stress develops when an individual feel he does not have the required resources to cope with a task he is confronted with. Hypnosis works by changing belief and capability so the subject no longer feels he is unable to cope.
According to Dr. Lipton, as much as 90% of diseases are caused by stress. Stress that persists for a long time starves vital organs of nutrients and oxygen. Stress on the odd occasions is not a problem but when it is persistent, disease can develop.
Stress is not caused by the situation you confront but by the way you perceive this situation and whether you feel you have the coping mechanisms to deal with it. Hypnosis works remarkably well in stress because it changes your perception, expectation and belief.
After a course of hypnosis, stressful situations are converted to easy to do things and are no longer stressful. The hypnotist has changed your belief and you now know that you can handle all problems as they occur because you have the required resources.
During treatment, the hypnotist takes you down into a very relaxed deep sleep. The brainwave changes from beta, left brain, to theta, right brain. When the brain is in theta brainwave pattern, the filters that prevent contrary messages reaching the Subconscious Mind, relaxes and allows some unfiltered messages through. The hypnotist is now able to change attitude, belief and expectation.
There is no doubt that hypnosis is a powerful and safe stress and anxiety treatment. Another effective and recommended treatment for stress is meditation. For it to be effective, the stressed individual needs to relax and clear his or her mind. This will be difficult initially. For faster benefits, it is best to have hypnotherapy first then start meditating for lasting results.
Anyone who has had stress will tell you it is a very unpleasant thing. Stress pushes aside all the fun things in your life. It steals enjoyment. Anxiety, rage, depression and anger are commonly associated with stress. You are also less creative and regularly make unnecessary mistakes. You lose your libido.
Worse of all, stress triggers the fight or flight reaction. This 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. In industry there are millions of days a year lost through stress and the cost to health services is enormous.
Hypnosis is not just a treatment for stress. By the way it works, it can change many aspects of our lives. It has changed the lives of numerous people and most of the time it is because it creates a positive attitude in peoples lives.
Once you are in a deep hypnotic trance, post hypnotic suggestions will be made. This is the most important part of hypnotherapy. These suggestions will decide how you cope with future stressful situations. Suggestions such as, you are calm and relaxed, are powerful and effective. In addition the hypnotist will suggest that you will not get stressed when confronted with a difficult task. Instead you will see it as a difficult task but it can be done and you will be looking at the best way to do it.
When looking for the best long term treatment for stress, consider hypnotherapy for a safe and effective way forward. It can change how you view life in general by creating a state of heightened awareness during right brain activity. The right brain does not analyse or filter like the left brain. It accepts suggestions readily and once accepted, the beneficial results soon follow.
