Are you constantly on edge, have brain fog, body aches, digestive problems, snappy or maybe you just feel numb? Modern day life can be particularly stressful as we are constantly met with issues that our mind and body perceive as a threat causing us to go into the nervous system response of fight and flight. When we donāt give our minds and bodies a chance to regulate and go back into a rest and digest response our nervous systems become disregulated. We consequently start to suffer with more aches and pains, we might have digestive problems like IBS, our immune system becomes affected, we find regulating our emotions more difficult, we struggle with concentration, decision making and sleep can become impossible because we go to bed in a state of high alert. Stress soon becomes anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue and a whole range of other issues!
A fight or flight response can be FIGHT, FLIGHT, FAWN, which shows up
as constant people pleasing or FREEZE. These nervous systems responses can affect your whole life including your relationships, work and your physical and mental health. Life becomes a struggle, coping with the smallest things can become a challenge.
Hypnotherapy can help you to regulate your nervous system and help create a feeling of safety in your mind and body. Often for people who have had a disregulated nervous system for a long time the calm and safety of a rest and digest response is unfamiliar and fight and flight seems safer because your subconscious mind believes this response is your protection. Through hypnotherapy this pattern can be broken and reprogrammed. Once the mind and body accept calm and safety improvements in physical and mental health will follow and life becomes easier.
