Stress is reaching a concerning level in the United States, with money, work, and the country’s political landscape often cited as top contributing factors. Regardless of the source, hypnosis is an unexpected, yet excellent, therapeutic tool for stress management.

As one of the oldest forms of psychotherapy, hypnosis is an effective way to learn how to manage anxiety and relax the mind. Hypnotic Solutions in Cincinnati, OH, uses hypnotherapy to help patients achieve a deeply relaxed state and make key lifestyle changes that help reduce everyday stressors and improve work-life balance.

Hypnotherapists help patients identify the cause of their stress, whether it’s a past experience or current situation. Once the source is found, you will work together using various hypnotherapy techniques to achieve a sense of calm, rethink, and re-frame your problems. This will help you tackle the issue from a new perspective, both during therapy sessions and in stressful situations.

Once patients achieve a relaxed state, hypnotherapists give patients therapeutic suggestions that encourage healthy lifestyle changes to help reduce stress. Some of these changes can include beginning an exercise routine or learning how to feel confident in social environments.

Studies also show that hypnosis helps lower blood pressure, including short-term, stress-related spikes. When you’re stressed, your body produces a surge of hormones that temporarily increase your blood pressure. This is what causes your heart to race, which can make a situation seem worse than it actually is.

If you’re ready to begin reducing the stress in your life, schedule an appointment with Hypnotic Solutions. You will work with Margaret Arthur, a certified hypnotherapist and registered nurse who uses medical hypnotherapy to help patients reduce stress, achieve weight loss goals, and more.
