While your body’s response to stress is a natural reaction to overwhelming situations, there are many ways you can redirect this energy so it doesn’t become harmful to your well-being.

I totally understand where you are coming from. Dealing with the general public can be difficult. I am a Bus Driver in London. Although is no way comparable to saving lives, we give a valuable service to our community and lack of appreciation is a stress. I think we have to realize that not everyone has had the same love and experience in there lives. That is why we should be more understanding to each other. Some of us are put on this planet to help the needy. Is our responsibility and calling. We all have times in our lives when a kind word or a hug is all we need to make things ok. I am going through a very bad depression at the moment. To the point where my doctor was so worried she called the police. Made me realize people do care. I was a soldier and boxer once so thought I was tough. Did not feel like it when the policeman had his hand on my shoulder while the tears poured down my face. And maybe if that policeman hits a point in his life when he needs a shoulder to cry on. I hope is mine so can return the favor. I pray it never happens to him…..is not a nice place to be. I have been on a few of Igors courses. Beyond Self Hypnosis in Dublin and am a so called certified Hypnotherapist now from a course I did in London last January. Opened a whole can of worms but realize it is a course not therapy. I know my mind is finding a way to be in a better place and will get there eventually. Was prescribed Serotonin uptake tablets. And have a very big alcohol problem. Medication self or prescribed is not the answer. Depression in society needs to be addressed though. Prisons are getting fuller and suicides are rising year on year. Hopefully when I get strong again I can make an impact on reducing those statistics. And know we saved a few lives in our time on this earth. Your message inspired me to write this. Thanks and wish you all the best in life.
Thank you Jamie! We wish you all the best as well.
Hypnosis is great for stress relief, but sometimes stress is your body telling you that you need to change your reality, not just your perception of or reaction to reality. It’s usually better to use your feeling of stress to stop then walk away from a rattlesnake rather than to use hypnosis to eliminate your fear so you can sleep in a pit of vipers without fear.
Hi D! You do have a great point. Sometimes stress may be our body’s way of telling us that we need a break.
