Anxiety & Stress

Stress and Anxiety are the bodies natural hormonal (fight or flight) response to protect us from harmful situations. When you perceive a threat, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol. These hormones rouse the body for emergency action.

Your heart pounds faster
Muscles tighten
Blood pressure rises
Breath quickens
And your senses become sharper

These physical changes increase your strength and stamina, speed your reaction time, and enhance your focus – preparing you to either fight or flee from the danger at hand.

The problem is that for 99% of the time the human race has existed, we lived a Stone Age existence where ‘danger’ was obvious and physical. Our nervous system is designed to protect us from sabre-toothed tigers, not the stresses and strains that we experience in modern day life.

Through the use of Cognitive Hypnotherapy I can help you to gain control over your emotions and help you to defeat the sabre- toothed tiger in your life! Feel free to call me on 07948 677320 or use this contact form.
