Stress

Overview:

Stress isn’t always bad for you.

There are two types of Stress: Eustress which is motivating and Distress which is damaging.

Most of the time, when we’re talking about Stress we’re referring to the type that feels overwhelming, unmanageable and “too much”.

Stress can be characterised as a reaction to external pressure like a deadline at work, coping with an illness, or moving house. Stress is normally temporary and situation specific. It usually eases off once the external pressure has passed.

If the body's stress response (the sympathetic nervous system) remains constantly activated without the counterbalancing relaxation response (the parasympathetic nervous system) this can lead to serious physical and mental health problems. This imbalance prevents the body from reaching homeostasis, the state of equilibrium, and can develop into Chronic Stress.

Hypnotherapy helps with stress by using hypnosis to induce a state of deep relaxation, shifting the brain into an alpha-theta state where it is more receptive to positive suggestions and less reactive to stress. This process can reprogram the anxious brain, boost confidence, improve emotional control, and help you develop better coping skills to manage stressors in your life.

Facts:

1 in 9 adults in the UK feel stressed every day.

74% of UK adults have felt so stressed at some point in the past year that they have felt unable to cope.
32% of UK adults have experienced suicidal thoughts due to Stress.

Symptoms:

Mostly, Stress and Anxiety share the same symptoms.

For Stress specifically, the most common symptoms include: irritability, anger, fatigue, muscle tension, sleep problems and digestive issues.

There are many more symptoms and the list below is not exhaustive. Symptoms can be present but they do not necessarily indicate Stress. The most important thing is to note any changes in your usual attitude and behaviour.

"I went to see Gemma for hypnosis therapy. I had a problem with arm scratching, after 2 sessions and techniques that Gemma taught me I feel like a new person! I can control the urge when I want to scratch! Thank you Gemma."
"I'd never tried hypnotherapy before and now wish I'd started it sooner. The way Gemma set up and held the space made the whole process feel really safe and relaxed. I have a noisy brain and was sceptical this would work for me but it gave me a proper break from it in a way that felt truly restorative. Highly recommend."
“Working with Gemma has been a truly transformative experience. When I first started therapy, I was overwhelmed by stress and struggling to cope. Through your compassionate and insightful approach, you helped me understand the roots of my stress and gave me practical tools to manage it effectively.”
"Gemma was brilliant, from the moment I stepped into the room she made me feel calm and at ease. Any questions I had were answered clearly and she listened carefully and compassionately to me throughout our work together. I can safely say that if you put your all into therapy, you get a whole lot more out of it than you will ever have expected. Thank you Gemma."
“Managing and running my own business results in me having a lot of stress and coping with a huge amount of other people’s stresses too. I contacted Gemma about hypnotherapy and whether she thought that may help. I was really impressed with her personal and professional manner throughout our first meeting, instantly grasping what industry I worked in and showing empathy for the areas of life that I found most stressful. Even now in times of stress I still mentally use the green shiny pebble in my pocket creating space and allowing me to breath and realign my thoughts. I would highly recommend Gemma for any hypnotherapy sessions that you may be thinking about.”
“I had the privilege of participating in hypnotherapy sessions with Gemma to help me manage stress and the experience truly exceeded my expectations.”
“I had a Hypnotherapy session with Gemma to quit smoking. I have been smoke and vape free since the session and haven't felt the need to do so. Gemma did a great job and I'd highly recommend her.”
"It was a pleasurable and relaxing experience having hypnotherapy. Gemma is very attentive, professional and engaging."
“Gemma was very professional and clear about the how the session would run, making me feel really safe. The hypnosis itself was a very positive experience. I really enjoyed the tapping sequence we did too, it’s something I have used since the session to find calm when I am feeling overwhelmed or stressed. I’d highly recommend working with Gemma as she holds people with clarity, integrity and an openness that allows you to be fully present and yourself.”
