What Is Stress And How Will Hypnotherapy Help You Overcome It?

• We are Stress Management specialists

These days Stress is so common in everyday life that everyone understands the word immediately.  Modern life is so fast paced and the world is changing faster than ever before.  We are under more and more social, financial, emotional, family and work pressure than ever before. 

What is Stress?
​Stress and its effects can range from mild to debilitating.
Apart from the obvious discomfort of stress and the things it can make us do, how it can ruin our personal life and affect our relationships, it can also have a dramatically negative impact on our physical health. Stress is now proven to be a significant contributor to many serious and often fatal organic diseases such as High Blood Pressure, Asthma, Heart Disease and Cancer and it is a barrier to recovery from many others. 
Stress is known to shorten life expectancy
White blood cells, the soldiers of our immune system, which fight germs, have been observed in laboratories disintegrating in a person under stress! This seriously compromises our defences against illness.   Untreated, Stress can spiral downwards from an unpleasant experience, to an emotional problem and ultimately to physical illness.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ( PTSD )

People that have experienced life threatening or traumatic experiences often find that they develop a particular set of responses to certain conscious or unconscious triggers.  When triggered they may experience horror, extreme fear, anger, or an acute sense of  helplessness. 

It can often feel as though the original traumatic event is being re-experienced resulting in intensely vivid recall and the sudden occurrence of many of the stress symptoms listed above at once.  

People with PTSD are often hyper vigilant, wary of any potential threat.
They will often go to great lengths to avoid any potential triggers which can have an extremely limiting impact on their lives.
They may become numb emotionally and shut themselves down as a defence mechanism. 

Hypnotherapy is an effective treatment to safely and gently resolve the unresolved emotions attached to  the original events so that the memory can be processed to completion and it no longer feels as though the event is ongoing. I use Hypnotherapy combined with Counselling and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to successfully resolve PTSD related symptoms.

If you'd like help overcoming PTSD please give us a call on 0435 923 817.

This is not an emergency service if you require emergency help please call Lifeline on 13 11 14
