Stress

Let’s get this out of the way, stress is a normal. In small quantities, stress can even be beneficial. Stress can motivate you to be more productive. However, when you experience too much stress or have a strong response to stress, it becomes harmful and it moves into the realm of anxiety. Stress can be found in many forms: work, family, relationships or if you live in Los Angeles, traffic! More specifically, it’s your reaction to the situation that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or anxious. In fact, stress can be created simply by your perception of the stressor. What is stressful to one person is not necessarily stressful to another. 

Anxiety is a feeling of extreme apprehension or fear. The source of this uneasiness and discomfort is not always recognized or known, which can add to the distress you feel. Anxiety and stress can lead to nasty side effects that involve poor health and mental conditions. Persistent anxiety often leads unhealthy behaviors like irritable overreactions and sometimes even alcohol and substance abuse. 

Hypnosis puts you into a deep state of relaxation. Relaxing the body allows you to form “relaxed responses” that reduces the stress hormones in your body. Hypnosis replaces the distracting negative thoughts with powerful positive thoughts and provides you with specialized tools called, “anchors,” which you can use to instantly calm yourself in any stressful situation. Hypnosis can change your perception and develop your confidence to deal with stress and anxiety in the short and long term.
