Without doubt 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 changes perception, belief and capability so the subject no longer feels he is no longer incapable.

Dr. Lipton said that up to 90% of diseases are directly due to stress. Vital organs are straved of nutrients and oxygen by persistent stress. This is fine on occasions but diseases are likely when it becomes persistent.

It is not the situation you confront that causes stress but by the the perception of that situation and whether you feel you have the coping mechanisms to deal with it. Hypnotherapy works remarkably well in stress because it alters your belief, perception and expectation.

Following hypnotic treatment, things that trigger extreme stress are converted to easy tasks because, you have the belief that you have the resources to successfully carry out anything you are faced with little effort on your part.

Hypnosis takes you down to a deep relaxed state and to brainwave level theta. At theta brainwave level, the filters that block unwanted messages to enter the Subconscious Mind,ease their tight grip and the hypnotherapist can alter belief, attitude and expectation.

Hypnosis is without doubt a safe and powerful anxiety and stress treatment. Meditation is an effective tool and recommended for stress. Meditation, however, is difficult in a stressed person because it is not easy to relax and carry out the disciplines. Best practice is to use hypnosis in the first instance and then introduce meditation for the long term and overall life enhancement.

Lets face it. Stress is an unpleasant thing. The fun goes out of your life and your libido goes away. Anger, rage, anxiety and depression are symptoms you can develop. During stress you become less creative and makes unnecessary mistakes.

Worse of all, because it triggers the fight or flight reaction, it shuts off vital 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. Annually millions of days are lost in industry through stress and the health cost is enormous.

Hypnosis can change your attitude to stress and it is not just a treatment for your present stress but it gives you belief and coping skills to control stress in the long term.

In a hypnotic session, powerful post hypnotic suggestions are given not just on how to cope with your current situation but generally on all aspects of your life. Things a hypnotist will say are, “You are calm and relaxed. You will have no fear when confronting any situation and know that if it can be done, you are very capable and competent to do it.” Effective post hypnotic suggestion enables you to approach your next task with the attitude, “What is fast and best way of doing this?” rather than, “This task is beyond me.”

So instead of drugs, counselling, psychotherapy or CBT, have hypnotherapy for safe and outstanding results of stres. Bear in mind that hypnosis is simply a state of heightened awareness and your brain becomes alert and receptive. It does not analyse or filters like the left brain. The Subconscious Mind simply accepts positive suggestions by the hypnotist while you remain in a calm relaxed altered sleep.
