Stress is something many talk about yet a definition of it is not very clear. There are numerous definitions around, but one of the most useful is: "Stress is any change to which you must adjust".
Stress is shown to be indirectly linked to such things as insomnia, hypertension (high blood pressure), depression and anxiety, smoking, weight gain or weight loss, alcoholism and other substance abuse, gastrointestinal problems, arthritis, and skin breakouts.
Stress can reduce the effectiveness of our immune system. This can increase the risk of cancer, infections, the common cold, and NK cell function. (Morikawa et al., 2005; Kiank et al., 2005; Saul et al., 2005). Stress is linked to all leading causes of death, including cancer, heart disease, lung diseases, accidents, cirrhosis, and even suicide.
It is evident stress management and stress reduction can prevent so many problems. Prevention is far less costly, and far easier, than the alternatives.
Hypnosis has an immediate effect on current stress levels evident by reductions in blood pressure, breathing rate, and pulse
Hypnotherapy can go further toward long-term stress management with behavior modification and teaching effective self-hypnosis techniques.
