Stress

Everyone experiences stress and not all stress is harmful. Life without any stress might be very dull. Unfortunately, stress can be overwhelming or chronic resulting in our bodies being flooded with damaging hormones, which can cause problems such as asthma, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), hypertension or headache. Stress can also caues us to become irritable and angry and lose our tempers with our loved ones leading to relationship problems. Sometimes we manage our stress in self-defeating ways, such as substance abuse, perfectionism, hypersexuality, avoidance, etc.

Both biofeedback and hypnosis are very powerful stress reduction techniques and both reduce stress related problems, psychological and physical. Biofeedback has a special part to play in that it can strengthen the part of our nervous system that maintains the balance between arousal and relaxation so that stress never gets the better of us, but we can still meet the demands of everyday life.
