Hypnotism
has been used to help people with problems of the mind for
centuries.
Symptoms:
feeling out of control, so much to do can do nothing,
procrastination, lack of concentration, slump in confidence,
anxiety, sleep disrupted, feeling of hopelessness and
helplessness leading to depression, wanting to give up,
get away, escape. This can result in migraine, IBS, chest
pains, panics and other stress related illnesses. These
symptoms can be felt, in part, even when thinking about
the problem.
Stress
can hit anyone, often at a time of change, new job, new
relationship, new management at work, new working practises,
new baby, or a change in personal circumstances, sexual
problems, illness, trying to cope. They become linked in
that the more the stress the greater the problem seems to
be.
Hypnotherapy/psychotherapy
are excellent at dealing with these problems by -
1.
regular relaxation into hypnosis during sessions and at
home using the back up programme(s) on CD.
2.
suggestion therapy under hypnosis, often dealing with the
recent triggering event(s). Boosting confidence and putting
things into a new perspective.
3.
the use of counselling/psychotherapy to find new strategies
and ways of handling stressful situations.

Case
History - A. A man who felt he had been over-promoted into
a job he didn’t believe he could do. He went into work at
7.00 a.m. and didn’t leave until everyone else had gone.
Had a real fear that he would be found out! Felt he had
to do everything himself or others would see his failings.
Couldn’t take a holiday or even a lunch break for the same
reason. A young man with a young family this was putting
great strain on his wife and their relationship as he was
never home.
We
worked to find ways of managing his work, to make it appear
and be more manageable. Gave him the confidence to delegate
work. Changed his view of his promotion, his bosses had
enough knowledge of him and the job to ensure he was the
right man to do it. The outcome was that he took breaks
and saw time with his family as an obvious balance to the
pressures of work.
Case History - B. A woman acting as a PR who worked for
three bosses, each of which thought their work was the most
urgent and the most important. She therefore found herself
either with an overload of work, or no work to do. Times
when she stayed on to very late hours. It made her feel
important, and indispensable one the one hand, but that
just made her failure to handle it even harder to deal with.
The crunch came when due to another change in the business
structure all three gave her work at the same time, all
urgent and all important and mounting to many more hours
work than she could possibly deal with in her working hours.
She
was off sick when she came to see me and dreading a return
to work.
We
worked to boost her confidence using the evidence of how
much she had achieved and coped with. Ensuring that she
realised it was the expectations that were wrong not her.
She deserved her time off too.
We
then discussed options and found ways that she felt she
could communicate to her bosses and renegotiate a way of
working together.
When she had the confidence and courage she asked to see
the three together and used a diary she had kept of the
workload to explain that something had to change. They then
realised and decided to give her an assistant and regular
workload meetings.
She
felt valued and appreciated and back in control. She also
had a means of handling any future problems.
Stress
