Without doubt 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 changes perception, belief and ability to cope so the subject no longer feels he is unable to cope.
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.
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 power in you to deal with it. Hypnotherapy is a very effective treatment for stress because it changes your perception, expectation and belief.
Following hypnotic treatment, extremely stressful tasks are transformed into tasks you can easily do because, you have the belief that you have the resources to successfully carry out anything you are faced with little effort on your part.
During hypnosis, you become deeply relaxed and drop down to brainwave level theta. At this level, the barriers that block unwanted information from reaching the Subconscious Mind,ease their tight grip and the hypnotherapist can alter attitude, belief and expectation.
Hypnosis is without doubt a powerful and safe treatment of stress and anxiety. 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. It is better to have hypnosis as an immediate treatment and use meditation for the long term stress control and overall life enhancement.
Lets face it. Stress is an unpleasant thing. The fun goes out of your life and your libido goes away. You can develop anger, rage, anxiety and depression. 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 cost to the health providers 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 calm and relaxed. 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, “This task is beyond me.”
So have hypnotherapy rather than drugs, counselling, CBT or psychotherapy for safe and better control of stres. Remember hypnosis is nothing more than 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.
