Stress, Anxiety, Phobias & Depression<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u201c<\/span>You can analyse the past <\/span>but<\/span> you have to design the future\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/strong> Edward de <\/span>Bono<\/span><\/p>\n

Stress is all around us. It\u2019s become <\/span>normal<\/span> part of daily life. But over time, its effects can become taxing, both mentally and physically. Stress becomes a problem when you feel overwhelmed by its challenges. And though it may be difficult to define, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s all in your head. Researchers have found that significant biological changes take place in the body during periods of stress. <\/span>And<\/span> extended periods of stress can cause destructive changes in the body, such as depression and a suppressed immune system, which can eventually lead to heart disease, cancer, and stroke. <\/span>So <\/span>if<\/span> you are feeling stressed <\/span>out<\/span>, <\/span>its<\/span> time to get some relief.<\/span> Learn about stress: how to identify <\/span>it,<\/span> and how to find relief.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anxiety<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some degree of anxiety is perfectly normal. We all experience situations that make us fearful and apprehensive. However, <\/span>there are some people who feel<\/span> anxious even when there is no discernible cause. <\/span>In these cases, the anxiety usually becomes overwhelming and may interfere with <\/span>day to day<\/span> functioning.<\/span> People who regularly have a debilitating level of anxiety are suffering from an anxiety disorder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depression<\/span><\/h3>\n

Some people have described depression as <\/span>a heavy black curtain of despair that envelops their lives. Depression affects your <\/span>life,<\/span> and the lives of those around you.<\/span> It can severely disrupt how you <\/span>function, eat, sleep, and get along with others. Although most people who suffer from depression feel as though they are<\/span> suffering alone, roughly 20% of the American population suffers from depression. <\/span>Depression is a disease, and like any other disease, it can be treated and managed.<\/span><\/p>\n

The link between emotional issues and physical health<\/span><\/h3>\n

You will know <\/span>intuitively<\/span> that worrying interferes with recovery when you are ill, and research is building up to demonstrate this, along with a growing body of evidence of the interaction between our emotions and physical functioning. <\/span>Not just problems like headaches and palpitations <\/span>which<\/span> most of us know are caused by worry, anxiety and stress, but serious chronic illnesses <\/span>including<\/span> heart disease and gastrointestinal <\/span>problems<\/span>.<\/span> When people with these illnesses have untreated anxiety, medication and treatments for the <\/span>illness<\/span> don\u2019t work so well, and symptoms might become worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depression, stress and anxiety are <\/span>very common<\/span>; most of us suffer one or other at some time in our lives. It is normal.\u00a0They make us feel slow, tired and unmotivated. Doing anything can feel <\/span>such<\/span> an effort. We get short-tempered, sullen, resentful, overwhelmed. We find it impossible to relax.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution Focus<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Many people <\/span>put up with<\/span> this misery for years before seeking help, unaware that progress can be <\/span>really<\/span> rapid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Help You Manage Chronic Pain<\/span><\/h3>\n

Hypnosis used for pain control and pain management offers help where medication and alternative medicine have failed. <\/span>Though not suitable for every <\/span>single<\/span> case of chronic pain<\/span>, <\/span>or for everyone who suffers from it, hypnosis pain management has helped many <\/span>to<\/span> control their pain and live a more comfortable life. In hypnosis<\/span>, <\/span>and then through\u00a0<\/span>self-hypnosis<\/span><\/a>, the person suffering from ongoing pain is taught to alter the brain\u2019s perception of the pain message, to turn down its intensity.<\/span><\/p>\n

All hypnosis is, essentially, <\/span>self hypnosis<\/span> and<\/span> once you have experienced the trance state, it\u2019s a relatively simple matter to learn to re-entre it at will and reap the benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
