Hypnosis is the best treatment for stress.

by Dr. Phil Hariram

Hypnosis is a very effective treatment of stress. According to experts, stress develops when a person feels the task in front of him is greater than the resources he can summon. This imbalance triggers stress. Hypnosis, however, changes this. Through hypnosis, this person can feel that he has all the resources necessary to do the task effeciently.

Dr. Lipton said that up to 90% of diseases are caused by stress. Persistent stress starves vital organs of nutrients and oxygen. This is fine on the odd occasion but when it becomes persistent, diseases are likely.

Stress is not caused by the situation you confront but by the way you perceive this situation and whether you feel you have the coping mechanisms to deal with it. Hypnosis works remarkably well in stress because it changes your perception, expectation and belief.

Following hypnosis, things that created stress are easily converted to simple tasks easily done without stress because the hypnotist has introduced belief that you have the necessary resources to deal with all problems as they occur.

During treatment, the hypnotist takes you down into a very relaxed deep sleep. The brainwave changes from beta, left brain, to theta, right brain. When the brain is in theta brainwave pattern, the filters that prevent contrary messages reaching the Subconscious MInd, relaxes and allows some unfiltered messages through. The hypnotist is now able to change attitude, belief and expectation.

A treatment that is very effective for stress is meditation. However, for effective improvement, the stressed subject has to relax and clear his or her mind of all intrusive thoughts. This will be very difficult especially if the stress is severe. The better option is to have hypnotherapy to reduce stress first then use meditation as a long term stress treatment.

Anyone who has had stress will tell you it is a very unpleasant thing. Stress pushes aside all the fun things in your life. It steals enjoyment. Anxiety, rage, depression and anger are commonly associated with stress. You are also less creative and regularly make unnecessary mistakes. You lose your libido.

Worse of all, stress triggers the fight or flight reaction. This shuts off important nutrients to some organs of the body while at the same time stimulating the heart. This is why research has shown it is responsible for 90% of all diseases. In industry there are millions of days a year lost through stress and the cost to health services is enormous.

Hypnosis is not just a treatment for stress. By the way it works, it can change many aspects of our lives. It has changed the lives of numerous people and most of the time it is because it creates a positive attitude in peoples lives.

When hypnotic trance is deep, the hypnotist will use post-hypnotic suggestions. These are powerful and effective and not just to help you to be calm and relaxed but to improve other aspects of your life. They enable you to cope with previously stressful situations in a different and stress free way. Post hypnotic suggestions can change how you approach a task. Instead of thinking that it is a tough problem and you may not be able to do it, your mind set will be that it can be done. All you need to do is find the best and efficient way to do it.

So instead of drugs, counselling, psychotherapy or CBT, have hypnotherapy for safe and outstanding results of all your stress problems. Remember hypnosis is nothing more than a state of heightened awareness where your right brain becomes very alert. It does not analyse or filter like the left brain. It simply accepts suggestions by the hypnotist while you remain in a calm relaxed altered sleep.
