It’s unsurprising that negative life changes cause stress, however research has acknowledged that even positive life changes produce stress. Why?

Any life change requires extra mental effort. A life change needs extra processing of emotions (positive or negative) as well as adjusting to new beginnings.

It is the change that is most important. The change requires extra mental effort as we adjust, and that’s what causes the stress.

Equally stressful are the accumulated daily hassles. Individually they are not particularly stressful, however when accumulated, or at a time of life changes, they can have a greater impact on a person’s ability to cope.

It affects more than we think. If you’re tired, mentally and physically, it’s no wonder. Our lives are filled with stressors, whether they’re work deadlines, running the kids to all their activities, making sure our pets’ shots are up-to-date, or caring for our parents. According to the Amer...

It can be useful to think of anxiety as inner stress. Because it is coming from inside, a person finds it difficult to understand why they feel they way they do or how to overcome it.

The anxiety is an obstacle. It prevents them from getting the most out of life.

Hypnoanalysis helps a person resolve the build up of pressures leading a person to feel anxious, or having a negative mindset.

Like a pressure cooker a person can have a build up of emotional rubbish which is having an affect on a them.

According to the Seasonal Affective Disorder Association around 17% of the UK population suffer with the condition in a mild form.

Common symptoms range from prolonged low mood, to sleep problems and increased anxiety. Most of the time symptoms can be relieved when Springtime comes around.

Suggestion Therapy using hypnosis can be of benefit; using suggestions to control the symptoms.

Perhaps we should be considering dealing with the possible psychological causes of the condition. Using Hypnoanalysis it can be possible to make more permanent improvements for the sufferers.

An individual’s mental health is experienced in the present but is influenced by the past, and informs future behaviour.

Analytical approaches to Hypnotherapy view the symptoms as an outward expression of past behaviour.

The symptoms are what is happening in the present, but are reflections of past experiences and the effect they had on the individual.

When we approach understanding mental health in this way, we accept that symptoms are not the root cause of the problem. They are a response to difficulties that mirror their experience.

Burnout from stress is the result of the circumstances demanding more than we can manage at the time.

Stress does not have to be a negative. It is, however, important to know how to mange stress to prevent burnout occurring in the first place.

An opportunity comes your way. Part of you wants to go for it, but your inner critic takes over and begins giving you doubts.

The inner critic is something which is established during our early-years. The way we view the world and how we respond to what happens is based on a kind of blueprint that we learned as children.

Our experiences shape how we will act in the future. These are a mixture of helpful and not so helpful experiences, and they continue to have an effect on us as we continue into adulthood.

Analytical Hypnotherapy can be a useful way to help a person ‘re-set’ that blueprint and banish the inner critic.

How many times have you had great intentions to make a positive change in your life only to find you loose enthusiasm after a few days or weeks?

One of the reasons this may occur is our goal was a nice idea rather than a firm intention.

The Theory of Planned Behaviour suggests that a person’s intention is not a good predictor of their future behaviour.

Good intentions are one thing, action is another.

Analytical Hypnotherapy works to resolve unhelpful beliefs from our past and remove the obstacles that can help a person have the confidence to turn those nice ideas into clear intentions.

Stress and anxiety impact each other. The greater our external stresses, the more we will be troubled by our inner anxieties.

The anxiety within a person’s mind needs to find an outlet. They have to rationalise it, so (unknowingly) attach it to a symbolic representation.

They feel the anxiety for something in particular, for example, phobias, some physical symptoms, panic attacks, depression and many more.

The symptom acts as a ‘pressure value’ for the anxiety. It allows a person’s mind to rationalise feelings they are experiencing as anxiety.

Hypnoanalysis aims to reduce the accumulation of childhood unhelpful experiences.

By thinking through them as an adult, they are processed in a way they couldn't be the first time.

Less accumulated psychological baggage means we are less vulnerable to developing anxieties even when life stresses increase.

While we cannot change what happened in the past, it is possible to change the negative effects it has on current behaviour.

In a groundbreaking study published in BMC Psychology, researcher A. Buyukcebeci delves into the intricate psychological dynamics linking adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to an individual’s overall sense of happiness.

Now that we have put the clocks back the evenings are becoming much darker earlier.

For many this can also be a time when they notice their mood changing for the worse. A positive, happy outlook is sometimes replaced with more depressed feeling that can last for months.

Can Hypnotherapy help?

Hypnoanalysis combines psychotherapy and hypnotherapy helping a person process events from their life.

Using Hypnosis makes it easier to remember events, the unhelpful interpretations made at the time and the emotions they created.

The cathartic effect of thinking through past experiences reduces the intensity of the stored emotions.

Events are re-interpreted with the benefit of hindsight, and the anxiety created is resolved.

Stress and anxiety are different.

Stress is a response to external pressures. We feel agitated and unhappy and can attribute it to external things: work, relationships and financial issues. We know they cause stress (rather than anxiety) because when our external circumstances change, stress symptoms change also.

Anxiety creates the same symptoms, but the stress comes from within a person’s mind. They feel the same nervousness, anger and agitation, but it remains even when external circumstances change.

It is something inside themselves but outside their own control.

Hypnoanalysis combines psychotherapy and hypnotherapy helping a person process events from their life, and the unhelpful interpretations made at the time. Events are re-interpreted with the benefit of hindsight, and the anxiety created is resolved.

Sometimes those around us notice changes in our behaviour. How many times has somebody asked you if everything is Ok?

Many of my clients describe the situation as having slowly developed, without being able to say when it began.

As this change occurs we can often find that those things that can make us anxious get stronger and more obvious. A phobia you could previously keep under control becomes more of a problem, or your mood changes so you feel low and unhappy.

A lot of the time we don’t know what has led to this situation or what we should do about it. The well-intentioned advice of ‘getting on with it’ is little if any help.

Hypnoanalysis works through and removes the obstacles which are preventing us from getting on with life.
