Stress Relief
and Hypnosis
Stress
relief with hypnosis enables you to get back in control of life
events. Stress is the experience we have as the result of being out of
control of a situation. Generally people consider stress as a
modern-day phenomenon caused by the demands of modern society. In some
respects this is true but only inasmuch as modern society does not
allow us to get it out of our systems (stress relief). If we
were to go back in time to a land where there is constant threat from
predators we might discover just how important stress reactions lead
to stress relief экскурсии по Москве на теплоходе. When any animal finds itself under threat it
requires a physiological response that prepares its body to do one of
two things: fight and destroy the threat or, run away and escape from
it. Without such a mechanism to prepare itself for such action it
would never have survived to pass on those same genes which today are
responsible for the nervous system which prepares the body for
fight or flight.
Survival in todays world means many things. Instead of a wild
predator it might, for example, involve our self-esteem or how we
adapt to change. When we feel under threat our everyday sense of
security is threatened. Given choice we tend to prefer to live our
lives feeling comfortable and confident in a world that is
predictable. When things change we sometimes feel uncomfortable and
sense some possible danger. It is during these times that those old
(evolutionary speaking) responses become activated and our body reacts
as if to fight or run away. Yet we are unable to see the threat and
frequently we find can neither run nor fight. We remain aware of the
fear response but unable to see the predator.In the correct
proportion stress is positive and also necessary for achieving and
performing to our maximum potential. However, like anything else in
life, excess stress is damaging. It may pile up upon us almost
unobtrusively. It becomes a burden when we are unable to express it
through either physical action or emotional expression or, even more
importantly, not recognising its existence. Everyone, without
exception, has limits to the amount of stress they can effectively
cope with. Stressors, that is those things in our lives that create
the stress, come in many forms and varieties. Some are more stressful
than others and what is stressful for one individual may be less so
for another.
Even change can be stressful.
Change requires the individual to adapt in some way to his or her
world which itself can be a stress factor. Paradoxically lack of
change can also be a stressor. The mind and the body require a healthy
level of stress.
Signs and symptoms of stress are many. They range from extreme
conditions such as cardiac failure (even cancer is said by some to be
correlated with stress and personality factors) through a range of
other symptoms such as depression; anxiety; addictions;
aggressiveness; colitis; flatulence; memory failure, etc. There are
also overt behaviours such as clenched fists; tense muscles; blinking
frequently; talking incessantly, etc. These can be linked to feeling
bad-tempered or easily reduced to tears and hearing statements such
as: thats not like me to ----! A healthy approach to
managing, or learning to handle stress, is to recognise that it not
something out there but more to do with how you perceive that
something out there.How
you perceive it determines whether it becomes a stressor. One
individual will perceive a given experience as perhaps challenging
whilst another individual will perceive the experience as one that
exceeds his or her coping ability. Stress relief with hypnosis helps
you to re-appraise your perception of your stressors
