Stress is a natural response to the pressures of work,
home, relationships and life generally! Stress is common
to all of us, from executives to shop floor workers, doctors,
nurses, teachers, council workers, mothers and even school
children. No one is immune to stress, though some people can
handle it much better than others.
Stress results from any event or situation that places
physical or psychological demands upon you. When stress
occurs, complex physiological reactions occur that prepares
the body to either fight, flight or freeze. These prehistoric
responses of fighting, running or just playing dead are
practical solutions to physical danger and threats to life.
They are not, however, the most suitable response to the
pressure of deadlines, presentations, arguments or other
events of modern life.
How can Hypnotherapy help?
Hypnotherapy can help you manage stress by identifying the
sources of psychological pressure and preventing the
accumulation of stress by changing the attitude of your mind.
By learning how to remove unnecessary pressures from your
life, and how to react differently to those pressures you're
stuck with.
There are many different stress management techniques and
tips you can learn that can take as little as two minutes,
which can easily be incorporated into everyday life. By far
the most effective is learning self-hypnosis for relaxation
skills you can learn to release the tension held in the body.
Stressors and Stress Factors
There is much
research to indicate that stress in the psyche creates the
possibility of physical illness. The listed 'stress factors'
and calculations shown at the foot of the table are based upon
that research. To use the chart, add together the stress
factors you have experienced during the last twelve months.
