Manage Stress Hypnotherapy Programme for Wellbeing

Most people tell me they have large amounts of work to get through daily and as long as interruptions are minimal they can just about manage the pressure but they generally admit to feeling a sense of relief at the end of each day! However, many report of an increasing overlap and worry over things to do that carry forward to the next day and a feeling and sense of starting to lose control as they experience the feelings related to a sense of pressure building up.

Various official statistics show the increase in absenteeism from the workplace. The cost to UK industry is 13 billion. A report by Mind in 2011 states that British businesses lose an estimated £26 billion each year in sickness absence and lost productivity. With greater awareness and mental health support, Mind indicate businesses could save one third of these costs – £8 billion a year. (Source ISMA UK)

So, whilst some people may thrive on a sense of pressure, other people may feel the sense of an escalating loss of control. Stress is defined by the HSE as, the adverse reaction people have to pressure or other types of demand placed on them at work. (Source ISMA UK)

Which leads to the question, What Stresses You?

People experience pressure and stress in different ways. Some speak of external stressors, such as the expectations and demands from Managers or Directors whilst other people report of the pressure of their own inner critic’s demands.

• Other peoples’ expectations and a fear they cannot meet these and the ramifications
• A lack of appreciation from bosses for the job well done
• Lack of respect in the workplace for working overtime
• Inability to switch off from work or other problems and to sleep well
• Increased workplace expectations
• Internal fears of recalled past events and build up of pressure and self blaming

Can You Spot Your Increased Anxiety Levels?

People often speak of a niggling anxiety and further describe the physical sensations that build up through worries over increasing expectations. For example, feelings of increased heart rate, shortness of breath, tension in the chest, perspiration and palpitations: some people even report headaches and IBS.

Do some of these situations and triggers seem familiar?

• Job worries over a pending merger and acquisition
• New management leadership styles and conflict in communication
• Experiencing negative thought processes and physical symptoms of stress
• Nerves over pitches and presentations
• Lack of assertiveness, increasing procrastination, and unproductive time management

Do you want to be able to sleep well at night – perhaps you’re considering Better Sleep Hypnotherapy?

Usually something has occurred to disrupt your sleeping patterns. Are you worried over work, relationships or career, and unable to switch off and get a good night’s sleep? Or, perhaps you’ve suffered depression and found this has affected your sleep.

For those who have suffered stress and depression I will briefly explain the link between depression and Insomnia . People who suffer depression often report anxiety and broken sleep patterns. The anxiety may be related to private life or work issues. Both depression and Insomnia may have links to a disruption in body rhythms. For example, worry can produce a troubled mind and in turn, a shortened sleep time. When sleep is under 6 hours a person is less likely to awake feeling relaxed and refreshed. There is considerable academic information on the net detailing this.

The link between Insomnia and depression becomes clearer in that the absence of a sound sleep pattern with control over unwanted negative thoughts means insomnia may trigger depression (through changing brain chemicals and body rhythms).

With Better Sleep Hypnotherapy you could learn a new easy plan for a good night’s sleep.

People often report symptoms in experiencing a continual and unwanted inner dialogue expressing repeated worries and fears – and they feel unable to switch this off. These fears then alert and arouse the individual to a state of anxiety, which in turn, produces muscular tension and a shortened and irregular breathing. Another issue with Insomnia is that people often present with other symptoms such as muscular aches, unwanted habits, headaches or IBS.

Better Sleep Treatment Methodology – using Hypnotherapy, NLP and Solution Focused approaches

My method as a registered advanced practitioner and stress management consultant is to use a combination of tried and tested methods tailored to suit individual needs – whether you have mild case of short term insomnia or more chronic symptoms.

• Learn progressive relaxation techniques – breathing, muscular relaxation, and cue setting
• A Sleep audit diary (with daytime additions) to help to identify negative beliefs and associative triggers,
• Learn enabling and empowering behavioural changes ….
• Learn how to stop and control unwanted negative thought patterns, triggers and associations
• Rational emotive and logical coaching structure with routine and rhythm for a restful sleep
• Assessing dietary, psychological and behavioural stimulants for change(ie – (caffeine, computer, noise)
• Learn self hypnosis and gain a feeling of peace and control.

If you think you may be suffering from depression you should contact you doctor for advice.

When a person’s ability to experience peaceful, restorative sleep, new solutions to the worries surrounding their depression can often be found.

For persons who are suffering depression, motivation may be low, therefore my methodology is tailored to help each individual to regain a sense of control by taking progressive small steps forward and building on these.
