Stress manifests through various symptoms such as headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, irritability, and difficulty sleeping. These symptoms occur because stress triggers the brain's "fight or flight" response, leading to the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. This response can disrupt normal brain function, affecting areas such as the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making and emotional regulation. Hypnotherapy can be beneficial in managing stress by inducing a state of deep relaxation and heightened focus. During hypnotherapy sessions, a therapist can help individuals reframe negative thought patterns and reduce the intensity of their stress responses. This therapeutic approach can promote a sense of calm and well-being, helping to restore balance to the nervous system.
