We all go through stress and anxiety at one stage of our life or another. The reasons for stress in people vary; stress can be caused due to turmoil in their personal lives or difficulties faced in their professional. Similarly to this, each person has a different way of dealing or coping with stress, i.e. some people perform brilliantly only in stressful situations, while most others succumb to the pressure and crumble under its weight.
What Is Stress?
People seem to know what exactly the term is about, yet stress seems to be a ‘catch-all’ kind of term today, often used to describe feelings that range from minor irritation to a/any cause of mental breakdown. Rekha Shrivastava, M.S. and a firm advocate of hypnotherapy reckons that there isn’t any strict medical definition for stress, which is why finding out how it affects people and the causes is difficult at best.
Generally speaking, stress can bring about the following changes in people;
The Emotional Changes
Apart from the physical changes, people going through stress or a demanding situation often feel frustration, fear, anger, anxiety and depression. These feelings in turn feed off of each other, therefore all the negativity can lead to physical symptoms. Extreme anxiety for example causes heart palpitations, headaches and giddiness.
The Behavioral Changes
People often behave differently when experiencing stress. People going through stress aren’t just affected physically and mentally, but their behavioral patterns, thoughts and feelings also change, mostly for the worse. Being able to recognize these symptoms early on provides a head start in managing them effectively.
Hypnotherapy for Stress
Rekha Shrivastava, M.S. has been treating anxiety and stress in Rochester for 20 years. Using the principles of hypnotherapy and her own medical/rehabilitative background has enabled the professional to treat a number of mental illnesses in an effective manner. What can hypnotherapy achieve? Through this therapy, silent sufferers of anxiety and stress can recognize and address their stress levels.
Following exercises and techniques, people can even unearth the root cause of stress and agree on what should and can be done to get relief from it. Although each therapist will act upon a different technique than the other, the goal will be the same i.e. to reduce or eliminate stress and anxiety from your life and lead into positivity and productivity.
One way to find out whether hypnotherapy really works is to try it out, of course! Maybe Blossom Hypnosis can really make the difference, but there’s only one way to find out for sure. Get in touch with Rekha Shrivastava today. treating anxiety and depression,
I just wanted to confirm to your readers that hypnotherapy can work miracles.
It did for me as I was a heavy drinker…very heavy. I drank 36 beers per day 365 plus other things and was able to quit with one sitting with a therapist.
I know full well that I had a lot to do with it with my real desire to stop but as the therapist said to me that he could get rid of the physical traits such as knots in my stomach, I said that there was nothing more that I would need……1.11.898 I quit…28 years later I have NO DESIRE!

This is a great, very extensive ovveeirw of hypnotism and the benefits of hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis. I thought I was somewhat well-informed on the topic, but this well-written book opened my eyes regarding many myths and ill-conceived notions regarding hypnosis which persist in popular culture. Easy to follow, this book also offers many tips and techniques as well as practical real-world advice for those with an interest in hypnotism in both theory and practice. Good read!
I think hypnosis is great to help reduce stress.
Personally I think it starts as we go into the hypnotic trance – just relaxing and “switching off” is something that grown-ups don’t do as often as they did when they were younger and didn’t know they shouldn’t 🙂
