The Benefits of Hypnotherapy

Life today is causing more of us to suffer from stress and stress related illnesses. With busy schedules it is even harder to relax. Hypnotherapy can help you to achieve a deep state of relaxation so that you can refresh your mind and body and be better able to cope with the stress of daily life.

You may be seeking a safe alternative to anti-depressants or sleeping tablets through complementary therapies such as hypnotherapy, which not only relieves the symptoms but can also tackle the root cause of them.

Hypnotherapy can help to break certain behaviour patterns such as nail-biting, blushing and over-eating. It can help to overcome job interview, exam or driving test nerves, phobias (flying, heights, spiders, water), and panic attacks. It can improve confidence and self-esteem, public speaking or sports performance. It can help with the physical symptoms of grief or separation by releasing pent up emotions and heals emotional wounds.

During an initial consultation the process of hypnotherapy is explained more fully and your specific needs would be discussed. A course of therapy will be devised to meet your individual needs and the number of sessions needed will depend upon your specific problem or concern.

Halloween

Halloween is becoming more and more popular each year with nearly ever organisation wanting to take part, whether it is the local optician dressing their window or restaurants offering spicy pumpkin soup on the menu. However, it is not always a ‘trick or treat’ fun night for everyone. For those who have a serious phobia of spiders, real or plastic (they can seem life like enough) they have to endure this anxiety every year. So what is a phobia? It is an irrational fear triggered when faced with the feared object and as a result the person may sweat, shake, experience dizziness or palpitations as a physical response. Or they may try to avoid the trigger all together which can sometimes be difficult to do. I walked into my local charity shop and there was a plastic spider on the counter as part of their Halloween display. So not as easy as it may seem, and every time the trigger is avoided it actually reinforces the phobia. Why can’t phobias be rationalised by use of simple ...

Without some sense of drive and a good dose of adrenaline, things just wouldn't get done and you probably wouldn't enjoy life so much. Bursts of adrenaline give us a buzz or feeling of excitement. But when you don't get a chance to unwind from stress the body goes into overdrive which is a drain on your body's vital systems. When you are under stress you are especially prone to anxiety disorders and depression.

But how can something that doesn't even physically impinge on your body do you harm? The answer lies in the chemical changes in the body which are triggered by stress. In the past stress has often been dismissed as irrelevant but now scientists are discovering that it can do very real damage.
