Hypnotherapy for Stress & Anxiety in York

Stress can be defined as any type of change that causes physical, emotional or psychological strain. However, not all types of stress are harmful or even negative. There are a few different types of stress that we encounter:

· Acute Stress, a very short-term type of stress that can either be positive (eustress) or more distressing (what we normally think of when we think of ‘stress') ; this is the type of stress we most often encounter in day-to-day life (e.g. skiing down a slope or dealing with road rage)

· Episodic Acute Stress, where acute stress seems to run rampant and be a way of life, creating a life of relative chaos (e.g. the type of stress that coined the terms ‘drama queen’ and ‘absent-minded professor’)

· Chronic Stress, the type of stress that seems never-ending and inescapable, like the stress of a bad marriage or an extremely taxing job (this type of stress can lead to burnout).

Stress and Health: Implications of Chronic Stress

When faced with chronic stress and an overactivated nervous system, people begin to see physical symptoms. The first symptoms are relatively mild, like chronic headaches and increased susceptibility to colds. With more exposure to chronic stress, however, more serious health problems may develop.

In fact, most it’s been estimated that as many as 90% of doctor’s visits are for symptoms that are at least partially stress-related!

When was the last time you felt relaxed and stress free?

When was the last time you didn’t feel anxious?

When did you last allow yourself to truly relax?

Daily life is full of anxieties and stress. We live life to the full and it is at such a fast pace that we don’t always realise how our stress and anxieties have built up, until we feel the effects physically. Headaches, neck and shoulder stiffness, sore back and general irritability as well as lack of sleep. Work deadlines, examinations, juggling family life, relationship problems to name just a few of our stress factors.
