STRESS MANAGEMENT AND ANXIETY

Stress and anxiety are everywhere in our society and if not dealt with can cause real health problems i.e. back complaints, stomach problems, migraines, depression etc. There are even links suggested between stressful lifestyle and diabetes. Relaxation exercises, and other stress management techniques will help you not only to combat stress and cope with it but ultimately, and far more importantly, to prevent it in the first place.

Stress management and anxiety are two of the main reasons for people coming for hypnotherapy. An important point to note is that many of the other people who come for hypnotherapy for issues such as insomnia, nail biting, stopping smoking and weight loss will report stress and anxiety as playing a part in the problem or habit.

Hypnosis can incorporate lots of different therapeutic models to help you deal with the presenting stress but also to help you avoid developing high underlying stress levels.

It can help unconscious learning and by teaching you relaxation techniques and exercises it can enable you to develop natural responses i.e. a relaxation reflex as opposed to a stress reflex. It can also help with positive thinking and assertiveness. By understanding stress and your body's reaction to it, you can start to create new positive reactions which become a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Basically, the better you feel about your ability to cope with stressful situations, the better you will in fact cope with them. Hypnotherapy is an effective treatment for stress symptoms such as insomnia, muscle tension, rushing, worrying etc but is also a great approach to dealing with stress and anxiety before they even happen.

MOTIVATION

Hypnosis - The Greatest of Motivational Tools

In all areas of life, be it sports, business, careers, etc, the most successful people are often the most motivated. There are many theories of how we can develop self motivation but one theory that seems beyond doubt is that we need goals.

A person with goals is like a coiled spring, ready for action. No goals generally means no action.

If you feel you need to constantly find ways to motivate yourself then it's likely your goals are not well enough defined. A goal of becoming more motivated is not good enough. If you have a goal of achieving something specific in your life then the motivation will probably take care of itself. It is essentially the end product of a suitably focused mind.

This self motivation download is worth experiencing if you want to get more motivated quickly.

Hypnotherapy has helped many people to overcome procrastination and mental blocks and to develop strong self-motivation skills. It helps on a very deep level by helping you to redefine the way you think about yourself and what you can achieve.

How hypnosis can help with motivation

There are of course many different types of motivation:

Student motivation

Learn to focus on study and exams in the way that the naturally successful students seem to. Set study goals and become more motivated to achieve them.

Weight Control motivation

Rather than focusing on the loss of weight, learn to naturally focus on what you want, in other words the deeper goals. Lots of people give their goals as weight loss but what they really want are to look and feel better or to fit into smaller clothes or to feel more accepted. By defining and helping with deeper goals, hypnotherapy becomes a valuable resource.

Sports motivation

A huge growth area, not just in professional sport but also at the lower competitive levels. Most sport psychologists use traditional hypnosis techniques in their sports motivation programmes but sometimes don't call it hypnosis. Many athletes have learned how to beat more gifted competitors by "wanting it more" and thereby deciding to do whatever it takes.

Career motivation

Hypnosis can even help you focus on career goals and help you to develop the skills and attitudes you need to get to the top.

Self motivation tips and skills

Remember, hypnotherapy is not about making you do something. Trying to make yourself do something creates a clever and nasty trap. Willpower is not the long term answer although it can be a great way to start a change. Hypnotherapy will help you make long term changes in the way that you motivate yourself. It is empowering and teaches you how to build on your own internal resources automatically.

Team motivation

There is nothing quite like a group of focused people working towards shared goals. As stated earlier, if there are no goals then not much happens. Hypnosis is highly effective when used in groups or team building situations. It can help to clarify and formulate shared outcomes. In other words, it can help to create a vision.

OVERCOME FEARS

One of the most common reasons for people to seek hypnotherapy is for overcoming a phobia. The most common phobias are those such as fear of public speaking,exam fear and fear of flying, which can be easily cured using hypnotherapy techniques to help learn new behavior patterns i.e. a calm reaction rather than a panic reaction Hypnotherapy can help with phobias in many ways including:

Teaching relaxation and visualisation techniques for systematic desensitisation.Learning new habits such as being more relaxed and calm and looking at the situation from a totally different perspective.

Coming to an internal understanding and acceptance of how the phobia may once have served a useful purpose but has now become an unnecessary behaviour pattern.With these new understandings and insights at a deeper level a person easily and permanently come out of a phobia that had been plaguing them for years. Hypnosis simply accelerates the internal ability we have to get over irrational fears.

CONFIDENCE BUILDING

How can hypnosis help you to become more confident?

Hypnosis can help you but certainly not by waving a watch in your face and saying "you will become more confident!" as often seen in old films and cartoons.

Hypnosis doesn't make your eyes turn into spinning saucers and make you start to behave in ways you wouldn't normally. It quite simply helps to remove a lot of the unhelpful beliefs and confusing interference in the way you talk to yourself so that you can focus on what you want. You can start to develop new and exciting beliefs. Your self confidence will improve because it was always there anyway. You were born with confidence and generally it's just life experiences and "knocks" that lower our levels of confidence and self belief. Hypnotherapy can help us to re-learn how to be confident and positive. Because self confidence is such a natural and basic resource, lack of self confidence is often one of the reasons for lots of other problems and difficulties. Therefore when seeing clients for phobias, losing weight, stopping smoking etc, hypnotherapists often work on confidence first of all. There are several important questions you will need to ask yourself.

The reason for this is that if you achieve more confidence, just about every area of your life will change in some way.

When you become more confident how do you expect to feel? What will you do with your new found self confidence? In hypnotherapy you will be encouraged to consider questions such as these and to actually start to imagine and prepare for a more confident future where other goals become much easier to achieve day-by-day.

WEIGHT CONTROL AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT WITH HYPNOSIS

Hypnosis can help you to lose weight naturally and easily. It is probably the healthiest way to lose weight if incorporated properly into a healthy lifestyle plan. It is certainly one of the most natural ways to lose weight.

This seems to work on two levels. Firstly, hypnosis helps you to let go of all the bad habits and false beliefs that stopped you losing weight before. For instance, eating too quickly and eating too much are bad habits and eating to feel happier is based on a false belief.Secondly, and far more importantly, hypnosis helps you move forward by developing new habits and new beliefs.

Weight loss should be natural and part of a well defined plan of who you are and who you want to be. We spend an awful lot of time consciously trying to not be something, or not do something. Hypnotherapy can help with weight loss and weight management in so many ways.

It can help you to develop a new self-image. You will still be you, but imagine being you in a happier, healthier, and lighter way!

It can help you feel much more relaxed, not only about food, diet and nutrition but about yourself. Overcoming stress will naturally help you to stop comfort eating and to adopt a much healthier attitude. Learn Self Hypnosis to Lose Weight

You can learn incredibly powerful self-hypnosis techniques to lose weight. These techniques and ideas will help in many areas of your life. Tackling weight loss head-on with diets and willpower can just become a battlefield. Re-educating your unconscious mind and learning to feel positive about healthy choices make weight loss and management more of an automatic and natural by product.

STOPPING SMOKING WITH HYPNOSIS

At our center we help many smokers achieve their goal of quitting on a regular basis. It is a well-known area of our work, and the results we produce are quite astounding, that’s why so many ex-smokers send their friends and acquaintances. The habit of smoking is not a decision that most people take logically. It is an emotional decision taken at a subconscious level. Therefore, any decision to stop needs to be taken at that same level. Quite simply, this is why hypnosis is such a successful way to give up smoking cigarettes. Many people considering stopping smoking feel that their true choice is being taken away from them. The secret of hypnotherapy is that it gets people to use their imagination to create a non-smoking future. This often feels very positive and empowering.

Stopping smoking becomes the positive and definite choice. We not only help people to stop smoking, we also help them to establish a replacement habit at the subconscious level that is more healthier and can give them more happiness and peace of mind.
