What Is Stress | Quays Clinic of Hypnotherapy

Stress

For many people stress is simply a part of daily life. Stress can occur when person is working, while taking care of family, and even while taking a vacation. It can affect anyone at any time and when a person becomes too stressed; their health can become affected as well. Learning how to recognize the symptoms of stress and then how to treat stress is vital to having a healthy life.

Symptoms Of Stress

Stress is a natural reaction of the body that occurs when a person finds himself or herself in a harmful situation. During this situation, blood pressure rises and the heat beat will quicken. These reactions are known as “fight or flight” reactions.

When a person is under too much stress, they will begin to develop a number of different emotional symptoms. They will become easily frustrated or agitated. The person may also become extremely moody. Stress can cause a person to feel overwhelmed or like they have lost control of a situation. Stress can also cause a number of symptoms that resemble depression, such as alienating themselves from co-workers, family, and friends.

Being over stressed can also cause a number of physical symptoms. Many people will feel more sluggish and unmotivated. Stress can cause headaches, stomach problems, aches, and pains. Their health may also go downhill. Dealing with too much stress can make it easier for a person to catch colds or develop infections. A loss of sexual drive can also be caused by stress.

Hypnotherapy For Stress Management

While stress is a part of everyday life there are a number of things a person can do to bring down their stress levels. A few things to consider trying when dealing with stress are exercise, diet, and environment.

Exercise has been proven to help the body release built up tension. By working through the frustration caused by stress a person is able to clear their minds, and think more clearly about problem situations.

Many people who have a high amount of stimulants, like caffeine, find it hard to relieve stress. By removing or lowering the amount of stimulants in the diet, they are more likely to reduce stress levels. It has been proven that a healthy, well balanced diet can also help a person from suffering from stress.

While a person cannot always change their environment, they can try to make it more comfortable. If the home is the source of stress, a person could ask family help out with housework. For workplace stress, a person can try to work with their co-workers to make the work process more streamlined and organized.

Stress has become a large problem for many people and it is not going away any time soon. While a person can go a long way to reducing their stress levels on their own, sometimes a person may need to seek medical advice. If serious emotional or physical symptoms appear, a person should speak with their doctor and contact clinical hypnotherapist Ian Smith at the Quays Clinic of Hypnotherapy in North Shields near Newcastle upon Tyne. Ian Smith is an Internationally respected hypnotherapist.
