What
is stress?
We all face different challenges and obstacles and sometimes the pressure
becomes hard to handle. This can leave you feeling overwhelmed, under
the gun, or unsure how to meet the pressures and demands placed on you:
this is stress.
Everyone
experiences stress from time to time - adults, teens and even young
kids. In small doses, stress can be a good thing. It can give you the
push you need, motivating you to do your best and help you to stay focused
and alert. Stress is the driving force that keeps you on your toes during
a presentation at work or drives you to get some exercise when you'd
rather be watching TV but, when the going becomes too tough and life's
demands begin to exceed your ability to cope, you become overloaded
with stress. This is when stress becomes a threat to both your physical
and emotional well-being.
Signs
of Stress Overload
If you are experiencing stress overload you may notice some of the
following signs:
- Anxiety
or panic attacks
- Feelings
of being constantly pressured, hassled and hurried
- Irritability
and moodiness
- Physical
symptoms, such as stomach problems, headaches, or even chest pain
- Allergic
reactions, such as eczema or asthma
- Insomnia
- Drinking
too much, smoking, overeating, or doing drugs
- Sadness
or depression
Everyone
expresses their stress in different ways, some people become angry and
act out their stress or take it out on others. Some people internalise
it and ‘bottle’ it all up and this can turn into an eating
disorder or substance abuse problems: some can even develop chronic
illnesses and those who already suffer from a chronic illness could
find that the symptoms of their illness flare up when stressed.
The stress response also depletes your immune system and your immune
system is your only line of defence against illness and disease; just
ask anyone you know who has an illness and they will tell you that,
prior to diagnosis, they were going through a stressful period!
Many addictions,
such as overeating, smoking, drinking and drug abuse, are linked to
a stressful lifestyle. Addictions are used as an escape or a temporary
way of "switching off" but they do not address the underlying
problems and ultimately become a part of the problem.
Using ‘Pure
Hypnoanalysis’ I can help you to address these underlying problems.
Together we can resolve all of the things that have caused you stress
and that you have ‘bottled up’ over the years, because it
is actually all this accumulated stress that makes the present day to
day stresses seem so difficult to deal with.
Remember,
stress wrecks marriages and relationships, it tears families apart,
it causes physical and mental illness and disease and will eventually
send you to an early grave.
So if any of what you have just read applies to you, then calling me
now just might be the smartest thing you could do for you!
