Are you feeling stress and anxiety and don’t know what to do about it?
Well… you are not alone, as a Remedial Massage Therapist I see and feel what stress and anxiety does to my clients, and while a regular massage does help to reduce stress, there are alternative therapies that have a longer effect that does not involve medication.
Life is busy, and juggling a career, family, aging parents, running a household and finances can take a tole making stress a part of your day-to-day life, and while many of us can recognise when we are under stress, however sometimes stress can develop over time, and we may not be aware of the effect it is having on us.
Feelings of stress and anxiety:
- Worried most of the time
- Tense and on edge
- Scared
- Panicky
- Irritability
- Detachment from your body
Long term stress can affect may aspects of your mental and physical well-being and can lead to:
- Insomnia, sleeping problems
- Headaches
- Problems concentrating
- Malnutrition, gaining or losing weight
- Pounding heart
- Increased blood pressure
- Feeling irritable, teary and or angry
- Addictions: alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs to relax
Stressed or Anxious? You are NOT alone!
As a matter of fact:
72% of Australians feel that stress is impacting their physical health
64% of the population think that stress has an impact on their mental health
but… only a few people are seeking professional help.
One way to naturally reduce stress and anxiety is through Hypnosis.
how can hypnosis help you?
Stress and anxiety are subconscious reactions to situations and circumstances.
Sometimes we know what triggers these strong stressful feelings; other times, we do not, and they overcome us straight out of the blue.
The mind is a deeply intricate organ that can be retrained through the therapeutic process of Hypnosis. By getting to the root of the problem, Hypnosis will reveal things that your conscious mind is unaware of.
Hypnosis (as described by the Mayo Clinic) is a trance-like state in which you have heightened focus and concentration. Hypnosis is usually done with the help of a therapist using verbal repetition and mental images. When you’re under hypnosis, you usually feel calm and relaxed, and are more open to suggestions.
Hypnosis can be used to help you gain control over undesired behaviors or to help you cope better with anxiety or pain. It’s important to know that although you’re more open to suggestion during hypnosis, you don’t lose control over your behavior.
During Hypnosis, you get access to your higher mind (subconscious) and changing these programs has a powerful effect on your daily life. This can occur with or without relaxation and therefore Hypnosis is not sleeping, but rather a focused concentration on some idea or image.
Surprisingly, people who had a significant anxiety problem over the years and choose Hypnosis as a last resort and after attending a program of 5 sessions, they don’t recall precisely why they were coming because they don’t experience these problems anymore.
