We all have different likes and dislikes and we have different outlooks on life. All this and more is what makes us unique individuals. It’s these differences that will affect how we deal with certain situations, our openness and why we have resistance to certain thoughts or ideas. With these differences in mind, it is the requirement of the hypnotherapist to assess the client and devise a therapy strategy that meets their needs and will achieve the best outcome for them. We are all aware that the usual method of
A counselor needs to be able to correctly evaluate the current stage of a client in order to appropriately intervene. Resistance will vary in intensity at different stages in an addict’s treatment, which means that a counselor will need to intervene differently at each stage. Resistance can be very strong during the pre-contemplative stage for example. During this
Fear of the dentist, fear of dogs, fear of flying, all these things and many more can bring around feelings of stress. It is these common situations that we as hypnotherapist's will often encounter and can safely deal with as it is obviously likely that the person will be aware of the cause, or trigger, of the stress and we can tailor our course of treatment accordingly. This however is not always the case, where we are unable to pinpoint the cause of stress it can leave us feeling out of control because we are unsure what we are trying to control. There are different categories or levels of stress and as therapists it is important that we learn to notice these different types as some of the more severe stress problems require referral to GP’s or specialists in the particular field. These more severe problems tend to fall into one of the following
We can also utilise these responses to help us perform at a higher level. Some people find it difficult to perform at their optimum level unless they are under a certain amount of pressure. This pressure although self induced creates stress and anxiety though hopefully only enough to achieve the required results. Anxiety and stress become a problem when they start to be detrimental to a person. That is to say when they impede a person’s progress and /or start to dictate the things we choose to do, or in some cases they can get to such an elevated level that they cause health issues.
People often compare themselves to others to feel more socially accepted or to set themselves apart from others. Others perceive us how we perceive ourselves. Having higher self-esteem causes others to pick up on that confidence and they themselves have confidence in you. If you are constantly worried about what you say or if you are concerned about what others think you project the idea in people head that you have low self-esteem. Others pick up on your negative energy and can use this against you.
(American Psychiatric Association, 2013). The Counsellor may use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy which may be helpful in order to reduce a client’s anxiety. Furthermore, the Counsellor will carry out an initial assessment which involves making a decision as to what psychosocial intervention would be best for each individual client, moreover, the initial assessment will take into account a client’s past experiences. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy may be used by the therapist in treating a person who presents with anxiety.

Essay title: “Discuss the relationship between stress, anxiety, habits and phobias and describe how you would treat these issues with hypnotherapy” This essay considers the common debilitating and inter-related neurotic conditions of stress, anxiety, phobias and habits and provides a generalized account as to how each may be treated through the ethical use of hypnotherapy. Stress is the name given to how we feel under pressure, is a natural reaction, a normal part of everyday life and in small quantities helpful in motivating us to react in certain situations. Faced with stressful or dangerous situations, the body produces hormones to induce the “fight or flight” instinct. Feelings of stress can be experienced as anger, frustration and anxiety.

This theory stresses that people will work more diligently when a goal is set for them to obtain. In the affective process, Bandura points out that people handle stress differently. The way in which one handles stress could act as a motivator.
