Stress is an ever prevalent experience that appears to be increasing in the experience of many across the United States. We as a society have experienced such rapid change. Life is now moving at an incredible pace for many and the task of managing life demands and keeping up with it's pace can be overwhelming.

Anxiety disorders have become the number one mental health disorder diagnosed for women and the second most diagnosed for men second to alcohol and drug addiction. More that 10% of the United States population has been diagnosed with some form of anxiety disorder and that number is on the rise.

Often people do not register or categorize early anxiety symptoms as anxiety, but reference them as stress.

Stress and the experience of stress can most often be attributed to a person's interpretations or beliefs about events and not just the events themselves. Chronic and repetitive stress, paired with ones limited ability to cope with the stress, increases ones predisposition to anxiety as well as an array of physical ailments such as heart disease and high blood pressure.

Over the years there have been many proposed treatment options to help people reduce stress in their experience and develop the inner resources that will prevent the onset of stress related physical and mental health ailments (such as an anxiety disorder). Early on most treatment methods or resources aimed at helping people understand the mechanics and causes of their stress and how to accommodate and cope with the discomforts when they arise. While this approach offered benefit and some relief, it did not help people eliminate stress and anxiety from their lives.

Hypnosis however has been proven to not only help a person reduce or eliminate their experiences of stress, it has been shown to consistently help a person develop tools and resources that prevent the recurrence of stress and anxiety as well as heal the mind, body and emotions from the persons experiences of stress and anxiety.
