Modern day life has become more and more complicated due to a number of factors such as more pressure at work, intense competitiveness, inflation, unemployment, changes in values etc. This has resulted in the fact that, although not always recognised, stress is now one of the main causes of disease. Equally most of today’s workforce experience minor or severe stress related illness at some stage.

The physical body consists of energy. Stress is a negative energy. If allowed to accumulate and not released, it will find its way to the weakest points in the body’s structure and eventually manifest as physical illness. It also adversely affects the immune system. Stress, although not necessarily the only cause of disease, is more often than not the trigger that sets it off. Being ill will also contribute to stress and so a vicious circle is set into motion.

Since stress is also a natural human condition, most of us do not take notice or are in denial when it builds up and symptoms start to develop. This process can take months or sometimes years and we therefore often do not recognise the signs or brush them aside until the problem is well out of hand. Serious ill health may then result. When this happens, it can take a long time to fully recover. It is therefore best to prevent this from happening!

Stress therapy is a mind & body programme, which aims to help clients recognise stress at its source and thereby be able to effectively control and/or deal with it before it results in physical or other symptoms. Clients are taught a set of specific techniques and given help and healing for existing stress patterns. This valuable complementary therapy can be beneficial to anyone. It can also be very effectively combined with energy & crystal healing and Bach Flower Remedies.

What to expect during a Stress Therapy Session

You will be asked about any symptoms you may have and after an initial chat be made comfortable on a therapist’s couch (fully clothed, minus shoes). The treatment will include a deep relaxation and one or two specific exercises to practice at home will be given to you as well as a relaxation tape. The whole programme usually consists of five to six sessions. In severe cases more sessions may be needed. Afterwards, if needed, one off sessions will be enough, usually to go over the programme.
