Facing stress is better than running away, according to the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy
Wallington, Surrey, UK (PRWEB UK) 28 July 2013 -- A research project from the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, has established that people who are struggling with stress reduction are better off dealing with the problem, rather than putting it off.
The report highlights that although depression, anxiety, illness, financial worries and other psychological health issues, all play their part in contributing to stress levels, most people affected by stress avoid dealing with these issues as they don’t feel equipped to cope or just don’t feel motivated to tackle them.
Coping strategies for stress reduction play an important role in the stress response. In the study they assessed a number of stress reduction coping strategies, in a trial of working adults as part of the study. It involved almost 1500 research participants from across the world.
In the report they explain how the findings from recent studies show a link between avoidance and higher levels of depression, anxiety and insomnia, stomach upsets and loss of appetite.
The people that tend to avoid conflict believe that they would feel more stressed in a conflict situation, compared to subjects that did not avoid conflict.
Paul White, Director of the Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy, said “When we use hypnotherapy for stress reduction we help our clients find appropriate ways of tackling the situations in their life, without increasing the stress levels. We help clients to take control of the external situations that cause them stress and allow them to feel much more in control of their lives. This has been shown to be an important factor in recent research about stress reduction.”
White continued “Stress is a normal part of life. Without some levels of stress, you would not be stimulated to eat, work, have relationships, or even get out of bed in the morning.”
Clients that undergo hypnotherapy for stress find that they can, after just a few sessions, notice a significant difference in their stress levels. By inappropriate responses to stressful situations with appropriate ones, clients begin to see changes with their improvements in feelings of well being. When this happens, just about everything in their life improves because they can deal with day to day problems more effectively.
Paul White has stepped down recently as Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, a position he held for five years. He has been a Director of The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy for 11 years. He has a special interest in using hypnotherapy for weight loss and stress reduction.
