In this world of high tech, multiple communication streams, and exceedingly high demands, the pace and expectations on us have been consistently increasing.  Stress and anxiety have become common. Do you know anyone who is not experiencing stress and anxiety in some measure?  Hypnotherapy and Self-Hypnosis are powerful and popular tools to decrease, manage, and at times even eliminate conditional stress and anxiety. I’ll explain how hypnotherapy works and why it can be the solution you've been seeking, especially given that it is so accessible in the Rogue Valley.

The Four Brainwave States

Hypnotherapy is an approach that uses guided relaxation and tuned-in attention to transform the chaos of the mind and world with the shifting of brain waves.  Our brain is always in one of four states: Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta.  The Theta state is the state that we enter when we're in deep meditation and prayer.  In Theta state, we’re able to best use imagery, experience a change in behavior, increased retention of learned material, and integrative emotional experiences. 

This is why Hypnotists and Hypnotherapists will commonly, although not exclusively,  use the Theta state in session work helping clients to create new patterns and gain greater clarity. 

In this brainwave, one can safely explore feelings and underlying patterns that are the root of challenges and suffering even when that root is unknown to our conscious self.  This allows the formation of new habits and behaviors, allows the ability to call upon peace as your foundational state, and upon reframing and healing the past, one may  live more freely in the present.

Relieving the Cause and Effects of Stress

Stress and Anxiety can have numerous detrimental effects on us, although there are some cases when stress can be used as a great motivator as in sports, performance, and other goals we are seeking to achieve.  The level of stress and how we manage and channel stress will determine its impact on us.  If we are unskilled and don’t have skills to manage stress, we may feel overwhelmed, restless, experience panic attacks, feel little self-confidence, and even become hopeless and depressed.  Our friends and family may not know how to interpret our moodiness and change in attitude, and we may feel that we cannot even leave our house.  Our sleep can suffer, as can our blood pressure and many other systems of our physical health.  

This is why it’s important to seek appropriate help, learn skills and tools, and achieve the realization that while we may not always have control over our circumstances, we can learn to regulate our nervous systems, practice control over our stress responses, and perhaps choose to change the factors contributing to our stress and anxiety.

How Hypnotherapy Helps

There are numerous ways that Hypnotherapy can positively decrease and transform stress and anxiety, including the below summaries.

1. In a Hypnosis session with an experienced, qualified Hypnotist or Hypnotherapist, a detailed intake session will be conducted.  This is so the Hypnotherapist gains insight into your life and you as a unique individual.  With this insight, the Hypnotherapist will better be able to discern the most personalized and effective approach to helping you achieve your goals for yourself.  
2. The Hypnotherapist is an expert in the shift of brainwaves necessary to create a deeper level of relaxation and focus, thus enabling a rebalancing of your body systems and greater clarity for you to clear confusion and gain different perspectives.  This is also the state in which sustainable change is made, because our brain is designed to change in very specific ways.

By releasing stress and anxiety, a new stream of creativity, happiness, and direction can form rather than living in reaction and pre-programmed responses.  This can be life transforming to those who are suffering from the pressure of stress.  One can be free of addictions, emotional burdens, past trauma, and other factors that are detrimental to one’s health and well-being.
