Hypnosis for chronic stress

Are you struggling to switch off?

Is it impossible for you to sleep at night because you have hundreds of thoughts, worries, fears, and to-dos circling around your mind?

If this sounds familiar, we can help.

In certain situations, stress can be a good thing. It keeps us going and gives us drive. There is even healthy stress that strengthens us mentally and physically (eustress).

But when stress becomes a permanent condition, it can be problematic. From a purely neurological point of view, you are in a permanent state of fear, in which the body remains in fight-or-flight mode. This persistent nagging stress makes rest and creative thoughts almost impossible, as you always perceive your environment to be dangerous even when there are no obvious threats or triggers.

Luckily, hypnosis is an effective treatment for curing chronic stress. It works by eliminating the internal causes and performing what can be described as a ‘neurological reset’.

As a general rule, stress can never be 100% avoided. A job interview, an important exam, or a robbery will trigger stress whether you’ve had hypnosis or not - and that's a good thing!

After all, stress is a natural survival mechanism that keeps you alert and directs your energies in the right direction.

What must be avoided, however, is excessive and permanently present anxiety that puts the body into stress mode unnecessarily. The kind of stress that prevents you from relaxing or falling asleep at night; stress which hangs like a shadow over all the beautiful moments of life.

This is exactly where hypnotherapy comes in: to cure chronic stress disorders.

There are a variety of common stress management methods that people always recommend to sufferers of chronic stress such as time management, meditation, relaxation, better nutrition, sports, etc. While all these methods definitely have their raison d'être, they are all external protective factors – none of them address the psychological root of the problem.

How is better time management supposed to help you if you are still plagued by inner anxiety in your daily life?

How can relaxation and sports help if you can't even switch off during them and your head is somewhere else entirely?

The math doesn't add up at this point, and it's compounded by the fact that all of these activities have to be done actively and consciously.

Comparatively, hypnosis for stress management starts much deeper. The goal of the treatment is that you become calmer from within. The strongest stress triggers are removed and your inner mindset naturally changes to become restful and calm, rather than chaotic.

This does not require active stress management techniques or a change in your daily routine. It simply becomes an instinctive part of how you approach life – calmly and stress-free.

There can be multiple causes of chronic stress. Typically when we talk about an anxiety disorder or a chronic stress occurrence, it is caused by an excessive demand in one or more areas of life.

Some common triggers include:

It is well known that all the things mentioned above cause stress. But how does it become a chronic pattern?

The answer is quite simple: the longer an individual is under stress, the more likely they are to become accustomed to this state and build up more and more triggers in their everyday environment.

It is these trigger points combined with habitual thought and body structures that cause stress to become persistent and ‘chronic’. A "stress body posture", "stress diet pattern", or "stress world view" are commonly seen in individuals with chronic stress.

Effectively, your body has been trained to create a perfect cocktail of thoughts, hormones, posture, etc, that allow you to work at your best when you’re in a state of stress or panic.

This cocktail has now become your speciality and it is increasingly difficult to create a new recipe for rest and relaxation.

When it comes to hypnosis for chronic stress, we aim to clear the nervous system of all the ‘ingredients’ that are combining to create this ‘stress cocktail’.

Essentially, all the receptors that are responsible for chronic stress are removed from the consciousness.

To achieve this, hypnosis induces a trance state in which your subconscious opens up and I, the hypnotist, gain access to make the desired changes at the deeper level of your (sub)consciousness.

Hypnosis against stress not only gets rid of the triggers responsible for your persistent stress but also helps you to create your very own stress buffer zone, meaning:

Plus, a hypnosis session places you in a state of pure relaxation and leaves you with a feeling of inner liberation, freeing you of that stressed feeling almost instantly.
