Stress, Anxiety and Hypnosis: Find Your Calm

Stress and anxiety are your body and mind's natural responses to life's pressures - but when they linger, they can feel like uninvited guests taking over. In today's world, stress touchess many people, young and old, across the globe. From the teenager juggling to school and social media to the retiree facing health worries, life challanges pile up - work deadline, bills, family demands, and shadow of wars. These pressures spark stress, the immediate "fight, flight or freeze" reactions to a threat, while anxiety lingers as persistent worry of fear, often without a clear cause.

Amygdala: This almond- shaped part of your brain is your alarm system. When it senses denger - real or imagined- it floods your system with stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Research (Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2015) shows an overactive amygdala keeps you wired, amplifying stress and anxiety.
