There is no doubt that hypnosis is a very effective stress treatment. When an individual feels he does not have the resources to cope with a task he is confronted with stress develops. Hypnosis works by changing belief, preception 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 when it becomes persistent, diseases are likely.
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. Hypnotherapy is a very effective treatment for stress because it changes your perception, expectation and belief.
Following hypnotic treatment, things that trigger extreme stress are converted to easy tasks because, you now know 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 this 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 powerful and safe treatment of stress and anxiety. Another recommended stress treatment is meditation. Meditation, however, is difficult in a stressed person because it is not easy to relax and carry out the disciplines. It is better to have hypnosis as an immediate treatment and use meditation for the long term and overall life enhancement.
Anyone who has experienced stress will tell you stress is an unpleasant thing. It takes your libido away. It steals enjoyment out of your life. Anger, rage, anxiety and depression are symptoms you can develop. During stress you become less creative and makes unnecessary mistakes.
Worse of all, by triggering 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 provides not just short term stress control but coping skills for 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 relaxed and calm. You will have no fear when confronting any situation and you are confident, capable and competent.” This type of post hypnotic suggestion enables you to approach your next task with the attitude, “What is fast and best way of doing this?” rather than, “I don’t think I can do this.”
So instead of drugs, counselling, psychotherapy or CBT, have hypnotherapy for safe and better control of all your stress problems. Bear in mind that hypnosis is simply a state of heightened awareness and your brain becomes alert and receptive. The Subconscious Mind is not analytical 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.
