Stress & Anxiety

As someone who personally experienced the transformative power of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in alleviating stress and anxiety, I find it incredibly fulfilling to be able to offer others the same life-changing experience.

​

Why do we experience stress and anxiety?

​

Stress is a natural response to a perceived threat or demand. It's the body's way of preparing us to face a challenge or danger. When we experience stress, our body releases hormones including cortisol and adrenaline, which can increase heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration, among other things.

 

While some level of stress is normal and even helpful, chronic or excessive stress can have negative effects on physical and mental health.

 

Anxiety, on the other hand, is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be intense and persistent. It can be a natural response to stress, but it can also occur without any apparent cause.

​

Anxiety can cause a range of physical symptoms, such as panic attacks, restlessness, sweating, and a churning feeling in your stomach as well as cognitive and emotional symptoms, such as racing thoughts, irrational fears, and feelings of dread which can also play havoc with your sleep patterns. While stress and anxiety are different, they can often be related, with stress sometimes triggering anxiety or vice versa.

​

How can hypnotherapy help relieve stress and anxiety?

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool to help you focus on positive aspects of your life, enabling you to recognise and replace negative thinking patterns while inducing a state of deep relaxation to reduce your stress and anxiety levels.

 

I can guide you to create a positive outlook and provide you with helpful coping tools to manage your stress and anxiety in a healthy way.
