Hypnotherapy for Stress in Drogheda. We all experience stress at one time or another. Sometimes stress is the result of major changes in our lives. Such as redundancy, debts, wayward offspring, marriage or even moving home.
At other times stress can be more chronic in nature, meaning that the effects can be long-lasting, having been initiated years ago. How many times have you had an unpleasant incident? The initial incident happens once, but every time you think about it, it happens all over again, and if you tell someone about it, it’s happening all over again!
So by the end of the week, you may have experienced or relived the same incident hundreds of times! Is it any wonder you stressed over it? And yet it happened only once!
(An estimated 75 percent to 90 percent of all doctor visits are for stress-related issues. )
