Hypnotherapy for Stress

Everybody experiences stress, and indeed some types of stress are essential for growth- for example exercise, or learning a new skill. But stress can also be extremely harmful, when it is perceived as too demanding, and exceeding our tolerance- in fact, stress is known to be the biggest contributor to illness.

Stress can manifest physically, emotionally and mentally, and can create worry, insomnia, pain, tension, irritability, a feeling of overwhelm, and an inability to think clearly- all of which can cause more stress! It can be a negative vicious cycle, and extremely unpleasant to be caught up in.

Hypnotherapy can help to pinpoint and unwind any unconscious emotional triggers to stress, as well as as teach healthy ways to manage and improve stress levels. Expanding your tolerance to distress means you are better able to cope with whatever external factors may be causing you stress, and help you feel more resilient, balanced and able to think more clearly.

Reducing and managing stress also has the profound physical effect of reducing stress hormones in the body- this has a long lasting impact on your ability to be healthy, due to the close relationship between the endocrine system (responsible for hormones) and the immune system (responsible for fighting illness and disease).

As well as Hypnotherapy for stress, learning and practicing TRE will help you complete the stress cycle, which brings you back to a place of balance and ease, by releasing any physical tension that keeps you feeling stressed.

Additionally, being stressed can effect our breathing, causing us to breathe too fast and shallow. When this becomes a habit, it can make us more stressed- leading to a vicious circle. Buteyko Breathing helps to normalise these unhelpful breathing patterns, leading to a reduction in stress.
