What is Stress?
Stress is anything that makes you feel tense, anxious, worried, scared, angry, frustrated or unhappy. As a general rule, any event that significantly changes your daily routine is a potential trigger for stress. We say ‘potential’ because a lot depends on your natural inherited instincts, personality type and general attitude towards life and change. This explains why people react differently to stress.
Test yourself: What causes you stress?
Recognising the Signs of Stress
When normal every day events that you would usually take in your stride feel like too much of an effort (maybe a ‘disaster/crisis’) and start to get you down then you are probably suffering from stress. Feeling physically tired, mentally drained (known as ‘burn out’) and constantly suffering from recurring minor illnesses such as headaches, stomach upsets, colds, sore throats, aches and pains, mouth ulcers etc. are all signs that you are run down and that your immune system is struggling to cope.

The Effects of Stress
A small amount of stress is useful and good for us because it’s motivating and makes life interesting. However, severe or ongoing stress can have very negative effects on our health.
When too much stress affects our health and well-being, it can interfere with our work, jobs, home and social lives. Prolonged periods of stress and anxiety can lead to Panic Attacks, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Depression and exhaustion. The negative weakening effects of this vicious cycle can then sometimes make it more difficult to do anything about the factors causing the stress. In extreme cases, it can lead to a physical and/or emotional breakdown.
Getting Help
Clinical Hypnotherapy could help you get to the root(s) of the problem providing permanent relief from the symptoms. The important reprogramming work we do during therapy allows you to cope differently in future. There will always be a certain amount of stress in your everyday life, it is how you react to it that is important. If you really want to change your life then you can, you just need a bit of help.

Work Stress
Stress in the workplace is the single most important cause of stress throughout the developed world. It is the major cause of ill health, poor productivity and human error. In a recent survey of financial institutions, 64% of employers regarded excessive office stress as the principal health threat facing their companies.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Most people associate Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with battle scarred soldiers. However any overwhelming life experience can trigger PTSD especially if the event is perceived as unpredictable, uncontrollable and has threatened a person’s safety making them feel vulnerable and/or helpless.
Some of the main causes are: War, Rape, Natural Disasters, Car and Plane Crashes, Kidnapping, Violent Assault, Sexual or Physical Abuse and Medical Procedures (especially in children).
After a traumatic experience, the mind and body goes into shock. PTSD sufferers usually find it extremely difficult to get back to their normal, regular everyday lives, struggling to reconnect with others and negatively affecting their relationships and family lives.
PTSD can also affect the people who witness the event and or take part in the rescue operation. It can even occur in the friends and family members of the PTSD sufferers. If you suspect that you or a friend or loved one is suffering from PTSD you should seek help right away: the key to overcoming PTSD is to deal with it as soon possible.
