Stress Management

Stress, in the true sense of the word, refers to tension. Tension in itself is a neutral condition and not always negative. However, too much stress can overwhelm people and lead to tension causing fear, worry, and possibly other health problems such as headaches, or some type of emotional and/or physical problem.

You can think of stress simply as the opposite of relaxation. Because hypnosis helps you relax, it is an excellent tool in identifying new strategies for stress reductions that feel natural to you.

Hypnotherapy can help you find strategies for changing your response to the things that stress you out. Changing your attitude toward your stressors lowers your stress and can help you avoid any detrimental health consequences.

Hypnotherapy finds the molehill in your mountains. In trance you can access your unconscious mind and open up new perspectives, which allows you to find easier and safer ways to get by that stress mountain and improve your effectiveness, and your health too.
