It's completely normal, but help is available, and one of the most exciting and effective methods is hypnotherapy. What is Poor Self-Eestem? Poor self-esteem is a common feeling that many people experience at some point in their lives. It can manifest in various ways such as self-criticism, feeling inadequate, or constantly comparing oneself to others. This type of negative self-perception can lead to significant psychological stress over time and can affect all aspects of a person's life, from personal relationships to professional life. Fortunately, there are effective methods to deal with and improve poor self-esteem, among which hypnotherapy is highly appreciated and effective. Poor self-esteem often radiates a presence/or aura of insecurity, affecting how others perceive you. By changing your inner feelings, your charisma changes, and a door opens to entirely different opportunities! In all areas. How can Poor Self-Esteem Affect Your Life? Poor self-confidence can impact your life in many ways, making everyday life harder. Unnecessarily so! Friends and Family: If you often feel insecure, it can be difficult to be open and relaxed with work, friends and sometimes even family. You might hesitate to express your thoughts or feelings, for fear of not being liked or others thinking poorly of you. This can lead to loneliness and social isolation. Feelings of often being alone or the black sheep in the group. Impact at Work or School: With low self-confidence, it can be challenging to show what you're capable of. You might hesitate to ask for help when needed, or to take on new tasks. This can cause you to miss chances to learn new things or showcase your talents. Exampels Students with low self-confidence may hesitate to participate in class discussions or ask for help when they do not understand, which can affect their learning and academic performance and opportunities. In the workplace, poor self-confidence can make it challenging to take initiative or pursue promotions. You might doubt your abilities and avoid taking on new challenges or leadership roles, which can limit your professional growth and development. In New Situations: Trying new activities or hobbies can feel overwhelming if you don't believe in your own abilities. This might lead to avoiding situations where you could have fun and meet new people. Low self-confidence can lead you to avoid new experiences, like traveling, trying new hobbies, or participating in community activities, limiting your life experiences and over time, and in fact, in the long run worsening your self-confidence. Your Mental Well-Being: When you constantly doubt yourself, it can easily lead to feelings of sadness or anxiety. Poor self-confidence can make small setbacks feel like major defeats, which can make you feel sad or frustrated. Low self-confidence is strongly linked to various mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. One might experience a constant feeling of inadequacy and hopelessness, which can worsen these conditions. Decision Making: If you don't trust your own judgments, it can be hard to make decisions. You might worry a lot about making the wrong choice, which can make everyday decisions stressful. This can lead to feeling stuck in your life situation without the ability to change or improve it. Relationships: In many various ways low-esteem can impact relationships - Sometimes, individuals with low self-esteem may feel unworthy of happiness and subconsciously sabotage their relationships through self-destructive behaviors. - Low self-esteem can lead you to attract negative relationships or partners, as you might not believe you deserve anything better. - Low self-esteem may cause you to let others take advantage of you as you do everything possible to help, yet you still find that no one appreciates your efforts. Even takes you for granted. Why Does Hypnotherapy Work So Well? Hypnotherapy is a therapy form that might be misunderstood as something mystical or strange, but it is actually a very well-established, calm, and pleasant method. This therapy method works with your subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind, which controls 95% of actions and emotions. That's why it's so effective. During a hypnotherapy session, a certified therapist guides you into a deeply relaxed state where your mind is more open to positive changes and new ways of thinking. Here are some examples of why hypnotherapy can be the best tool to boost your self-esteem: Identification of Negative Thoughts: During hypnotherapy, the therapist can help the client identify and address the underlying negative thoughts contributing to poor self-esteem. Changing Thought Processes: Using techniques like suggestions and visual metaphors, the hypnotherapist can help plant positive thoughts and self-images in the client. Reinforcing Positive Traits: Hypnotherapy also helps strengthen and more easily perceive your own strengths and positive traits, naturally building up your self-esteem. Taking care of your self-esteem is important for your overall happiness and well-being. But not just for you! It is also important in many ways, as you are often a role model for someone, whether it's your children, family, colleagues, or in the community. If you're curious about hypnotherapy, why not try a session? It could be just the help you need to feel stronger and more confident. Remember, every step towards feeling better is a step worth celebrating.

Welcome to a world where change is possible Have you ever felt that old habits, negative triggers, moods, or emotions are holding you back? Deep within our minds, in what we call the subconscious, live our most deeply rooted habits, emotions, and behaviors. Here, in the subconscious, lies the amazing key to positive change Beneath our conscious thoughts and daily concerns, lies a powerful and remarkable mind: the subconscious mind. This is where our most deeply rooted habits, beliefs, and memories reside – hidden from our conscious awareness yet always present and influential in our lives. It governs 95% of your automatic reactions and actions, your emotions, and conclusions. Your internal database The subconscious mind functions like an internal database, constantly operating, collecting, and storing information since childhood. It is shaped by our early experiences and interactions with the world around us. Just like a computer runs its operating system in the background, the subconscious runs our emotional responses, behaviors, and patterns. The foundation of the subconscious mind is formed when we are children (0-7 years) before your critical factor comes into play. Children see the world in their own way and draw their own conclusions. These early experiences and thoughts then become part of the subconscious and can influence how we view the world as adults. Sometimes, this might mean that we carry misconceptions or old beliefs that may no longer be true or serve us. For example, you might have been told or given the impression (through TV, adults, environment, school, bullies etc.) that you cannot do it, are not good enough, feel lonely, unattractive, etc. Which you carry still today. Negative comments and beliefs can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's like a loyal but also stubborn friend who wants to cling to the old and familiar. But what if the familiar no longer serves you? Isn't it time for a change? Double trouble - The brain only looks for answers that fit preconceived notions Meanwhile, our brain works tirelessly, not just to process the information we encounter daily but also to maintain a sense of coherence and stability. This is where we encounter the phenomenon of confirmation bias – the brain's tendency to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that stubbornly confirms our preconceived notions. This creates a kind of echo chamber where new ideas and perspectives, better well-being often struggle to break through. Even when we know better, change can be difficult using your conscious mind. That´s why working with the subconscious mind is so effective. Inner Conflicts Our deeply ingrained, often unconscious beliefs can collide with new information or experiences, creating an internal turbulence that can be difficult to navigate alone. This becomes an inner conflict. A reluctance in the subconscious to change, to adopt new perspectives, or other ways of handling situations (even when the old way no longer works) can create unnecessary inner conflicts that may lead to anxiety, phobias, stress, and worry, as well as frustration and depression, among other things. Triggers - both good and bad, and really bad To understand how this is possible, look at how triggers work. They act like shortcuts that instantly evoke a certain reaction or emotional state, often without us even being aware of it. These can be good, stemming from fun memories and experiences, but also bad. And then there are the really bad ones, traumas. Through hypnotherapy, we can identify these automatic negative reactions and then work to replace them with more positive alternatives. It is a journey through therapy to reprogram the deep, subconscious scripts that control our lives into what you yourself wish to feel or react. There are methods and tools that can help One of the most effective tools we can use to explore and reshape these subconscious patterns is hypnotherapy. Through hypnotherapy, we can reach the deeper layers of our mind in a safe and comfortably relaxed manner, where we can address and adjust negative triggers or limiting beliefs from childhood (e.g., you're not good enough, you'll always be (something negative)...) to something more constructive or positive. It's like reprogramming a computer; hypnotherapy offers the chance to update our internal operating system with more positive, supportive possibilities and behavior patterns that serves you better. Fresh start - Collaboration between the brain and the subconscious At the same time, using hypnotherapy we are given the possibility to address the brain's confirmation bias to allow this change to take root. This means actively challenging our preconceived beliefs and being open to new perspectives and ideas. Hypnotherapy can facilitate this process by opening our minds to new possibilities and helping us see beyond the limitations that we might not have even been aware of. You can take the first step if you want a change. Learning new things – challenging our minds to expand and embrace new information – is crucial in this amazing process. By continuously questioning and revising our beliefs and attitudes, we can avoid stagnation and promote personal growth and development. Ultimately, the collaboration between the brain and the subconscious, with the aid of hypnotherapy, is about creating a more harmonious and integrated cooperation. Enhanced teamwork. It's an amazing journey towards becoming the "better" version of ourselves, free from the unconstructive or limiting patterns and beliefs that have kept us in old negative triggers and reactions. The results can even positively affect your physical body. (see examples from eg. stress effects) Receiving hypnotherapy is like going on a treasure hunt inside yourself. You can find and change the hidden parts that need help to change. And the best part? You can start to feel freer and happier. Hypnotherapy could be the key you've been looking for, the one that unlocks the door to new opportunities. Adding the CE-method is the cherry on top! Why not take the step today and experience for yourself the powerful change that exists? Read more on the website www.ce-hypnosis.com and see what clients have to say through client testimonials.

As spring blossoms and summer takes hold, we welcome longer days, sunshine, and an explosion of colors in nature. However, for those of you struggling with pollen and grass allergies, the arrival of spring and summer can also mean a time of challenges. The feeling of constantly having a cold, fatigue, with a runny nose, itchy eyes, and endless sneezing attacks, can dull the joy of spring and summer. But what if there was a way to welcome these seasons with open arms, to look forward to them, without the usual allergy troubles? There are methods that can offer help, and one such method is hypnotherapy through the CE- method (Emotional and Cognitive therapy work). Pollen and Grass Allergy, Hay Fever When the grass turns green and the trees bloom, they release pollen that can cause allergic reactions in many people. It is estimated that 10-15% of adults suffer from some form of pollen-related issues. Pollen allergy, also known as hay fever, occurs when the immune system overreacts to pollen from trees, grass, and weeds. Grass allergy in particular involves a reaction to pollen from various grass species. Most types of grass bloom during the midst of the summer, and pollen levels are highest during warm, dry days with light wind. If you are sensitive to one type of grass pollen, it is common to react to several varieties. This can lead to allergy symptoms from early spring to late autumn. Common Symptoms of Pollen Allergy Symptoms of these allergies include: Runny or stuffy nose Itchy, red, or swollen eyes Sneezing Fatigue and irritability Headache Feeling of being unwell Almost asthma feeling Cross-Allergy: When food can cause problems A phenomenon commonly associated with pollen and grass allergies is cross-allergy. This means that if you are allergic to a specific type of pollen, you may also react to certain foods that contain similar protein structures. Tired of it, what can you do? An alternative solution without side-effects. Now for the good news: hypnotherapy, especially through the use of the CE method (Cognitive-Emotional), is proving to be a promising therapy method for managing and even reducing allergy symptoms. This method works by restructuring the cognitive and emotional responses that the body has to allergens. The CE method has been developed by  CE-hypnosis.com  over 15 years and has proven to be very effective. How can I benefit from this therapy and how does it work? You can read more about how a session is structured here. In the case of pollen allergies, the session is entirely focused on the allergy itself and consists of several steps. By creating a comfortable state of deep relaxation, the therapy can begin. The therapy starts using hypnotherapy and the CE-method. Among other things, various mental exercises are conducted, and the client's subconscious can then understand and become more receptive to positive suggestions and ideas and ways to handle the immune response. At the end, a mental test is conducted to assess how it feels. Sometimes this is done outdoors on-site, otherwise in a conscious state. In general, only 2-3 sessions are needed. A healthy alternative to consider - without side effects! For those struggling with pollen and grass allergies, hypnotherapy with the CE method offers hope for better days. It is a complementary therapy without side effects that can help change your symptoms and improve your quality of life during spring and summer. If you are interested in trying this method, you are welcome to send a contact or booking request. Remember, even though spring and summer can be challenging for allergy sufferers, there are strategies and complementary alternative therapies that can help you enjoy these seasons more easily.

Gastritis, or the inflammation of the stomach lining, can cause discomfort and pain. There are various ways to relieve the symptoms and improve your chances of recovery. Below are some effective tips, along with the most common dietary recommendations, to manage and alleviate gastritis. What Triggers Gastritis Stress is a bigger culprit than many might think, along with alcohol, tobacco, coffee, spicy, fatty, and smoked foods, as well as acidic beverages. You should also avoid painkillers containing ibuprofen and salicylic acid, as they can cause acute gastritis. Eating good food in moderate amounts, combined with regular eating habits, helps many. If you manage your stress, your stomach will have the chance to heal itself. (Learn more here about how to manage stress) This is what you can do 1. Avoid stomach irritating foods When it comes to managing gastritis, it's important to adjust your diet to reduce irritation and inflammation of the stomach lining. Here are some common dietary tips and explanations for why it can be beneficial to follow them: Avoid alcohol: Alcohol can further damage the stomach lining and increase the production of stomach acid, which usually worsens gastritis. Avoiding or significantly reducing alcohol consumption protects your stomach. Limit caffeine intake: Caffeinated beverages such as coffee, regular tea (herbal teas are fine), and certain sodas can increase stomach acid production and worsen symptoms of gastritis. It's wise to limit these drinks to reduce the risk of irritation. If you find it hard to give up coffee, consider switching to an instant coffee as doesn't have the same acid and a lower caffeine. Avoid spicy foods: Spicy spices usually irritate the stomach lining and increase the production of stomach acid, leading to more pain and discomfort if you suffer from gastritis. By reducing the intake of spicy food, you can help decrease irritation. (Cayenne pepper seems to be an exception according to some research and may instead help heal the stomach, but use it sparingly). Wrong fatty foods: Fatty foods can be hard to digest and can cause a delay in the emptying of the stomach, which increases the risk of acid reflux. By eating less fatty foods, you can lessen the burden on your stomach. Fried and greasy foods such as hamburgers, fries, pizza, and chips are especially bad. Virgin Coconut oil seem to be the exception and can actually help in moderate amount. Citrus fruits and juices and tomato-based products: These foods are naturally acidic and can therefore worsen symptoms of gastritis fore many individuals. If you notice that these foods exacerbate your symptoms, it might be beneficial to reduce them in your diet. Raw onion: If you suffer from gastritis, you should be careful with consuming raw onion as it can be irritating to the stomach and worsen symptoms of gastritis. Raw onion contains compounds that can stimulate the stomach's production of acid, leading to discomfort and irritation. Therefore, it's better to avoid raw onion if you have a sensitive stomach or gastritis. 2. Eat stomach-friendly foods Certain foods are gentler on the stomach and can help alleviate the symptoms of gastritis. These include: Bananas: Bananas are soft, mild, and naturally low in acid, making them a good option for calming the stomach as a snack. They can also help strengthen the stomach lining. Green bananas are particularly healthy. Cooked Vegetables: Vegetables such as carrots, spinach, and zucchini are nutritious and easy to digest when well-cooked. However, avoid raw or overly spicy vegetables that may irritate the stomach. Oatmeal: Whole grain products like oatmeal are rich in fiber, which can help regulate digestion. They are also gentle on the stomach and contribute to a feeling of fullness without causing irritation. Enjoy it with apple jam and cinnamon for additional benefits. Lean Protein Sources: Chicken, turkey, and fish prepared without a lot of fat or strong spices are good options because they are easy to digest and do not burden the stomach as much as fattier meats. Scrambled or boiled eggs are also suitable. Ginger and Turmeric: In small amounts, ginger and turmeric can help reduce nausea and promote digestion. However, they should be used sparingly until the stomach improves, as too much can irritate the stomach. Potatoes/Sweet potatoes: Cooked or steamed potatoes can be a good choice as they are easy to digest and low in fiber, making them gentle on an irritated stomach. Chamomile Tea: Chamomile is believed to have a soothing effect on the stomach and can help reduce inflammation and relieve cramps. Rice: White rice is easy to digest and rarely irritates the stomach. It can help bind the stool in cases of loose stools. However, rice can develop mold if left out for too long. It is generally recommended to discard leftover rice and cook fresh for each meal. Fermented Vegetables: Fermented foods like sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables can be beneficial for gastritis because they are probiotic foods. Probiotic foods can have a positive impact on various stomach issues, including gastritis, as they contain beneficial bacteria that can contribute to better gut health. However, start with a small amount daily along with other foods to gradually accustom the stomach. Coconut Milk/Coconut Oil: Regarding coconut oil and gastritis, opinions are mixed. Some believe that coconut oil can be soothing for the stomach due to its antibacterial properties, while others find that its high saturated fat content can exacerbate gastritis symptoms. It's important to listen to your body and see how it reacts to coconut oil. If you find that your symptoms worsen, consider reducing intake or excluding it entirely from your diet. Less fatty coconut milk might therefore be an alternative. Olive Oil: Generally considered gentle on the stomach, olive oil can be beneficial for people with gastritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It contains antioxidants and can help reduce inflammation in the stomach lining. However, as with all foods, it's important to note how your body reacts to olive oil. If you find that your symptoms worsen after consuming olive oil, you should reduce the intake or avoid it altogether. Choosing these foods can help minimize irritation in the stomach and promote better digestion. Remember that individual responses to different foods can vary, so it is important to listen to your own body and adjust your diet to what feels best for you. If you are unsure about what you can and cannot eat, consider consulting a doctor or dietitian. In the long term, once the stomach improves, fermented vegetables are a good alternative to probiotics as they contain a large and healthy amount of probiotics. 3. Eat Smaller and More Frequent Meals Eating large meals can increase the strain on your stomach and lead to increased acid production. Try instead to eat smaller, more frequent meals to help reduce symptoms. 4. Avoid Eating Just Before Bedtime Lying down directly after eating can increase the risk of acid reflux. Try to wait at least three hours after eating before going to bed. 5. Manage Stress - as stress is often the culprit behind your gastritis Stress is known to exacerbate the symptoms of gastritis and is often the cause of it. Finding ways to manage stress, such as through hypnotherapy, meditation, yoga, calming breathing exercises, or walking, can help alleviate your symptoms. It's about relaxing, choosing your health, and allowing yourself to engage in something that is relaxing. Allow yourself the time to recover. 6. Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapy has proven to be effective for many people in managing stomach pain, gastritis, and IBS. By using relaxation techniques and suggestive therapy, hypnotherapy can help reduce stress and thus decrease the symptoms of gastritis. It may be worth considering this, especially if traditional methods have not been effective or if you have long-term gastritis. It is preferable to start hypnotherapy as soon as possible to minimize and change the physical impact of stress and alter stress responses. At CE-hypnosis, you can get help managing stress, old stress, and traumas, but also assistance in changing your diet. If it's hard to let go of hamburgers, soda, coffee, or chips, hypnosis can help you so that you are in control and choose what you need to heal your stomach for the moment. You will also receive some breathing exercises that strengthen the nerves and the stomach. By following these tips and making conscious choices about your diet and lifestyle, you can help alleviate the symptoms of gastritis and improve your overall health. Remember to listen to your body and adapt these recommendations to your own needs and reactions.

Breathing techniques are an invaluable tool in our daily lives for managing stress, boosting energy, and improving our physical and mental health. Here you will find some valuable breathing techniques to try and see what works for you. Remember, effective breathing isn't just about inhaling fresh air; it's equally about properly expelling old air. As you breathe in new air and expel the old, your blood becomes oxygenated. Deep breathing is known to slow down the heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and positively impact your mental state. You will find 4 methods to try out here and see what suits you. Important! Breathe correctly When you are stressed, you do not inhale as much air as you normally would. Your breathing becomes fast, irregular, and shallow. A body that does not receive enough oxygen will not function optimally because cells depend on oxygen to thrive. In the short term, this can lead to difficulties in focusing and thinking clearly. It is almost impossible to feel calm while you are breathing rapidly. Over time, incorrect breathing can even be harmful to your health. By making sure to breathe into your lungs and "stomach" now and then throughout the day, you help yourself. Breathe deeply, fill the lungs and all the way down into the stomach during the deep breathing exercises. When you take deep breaths, make sure to use your full lung capacity and breathe all the way down to your stomach. Fill every nook and cranny. Breathe in and out through your nose. Take deep, rhythmic, and slow breaths that make your abdomen and chest rise and fall. It is recommended that we breathe through our nose (recent research showed major health benefits). Tip 1 Make it a point to plan breathing better once or several times a day. It's a wonderful way to counteract everyday stress, enhance your energy, and strengthen your physical and mental wellbeing. Show your children how to do it too. It can help both going to sleep but also before exams or other events in life. 4 different breathing exercises 1.

Some find relief for their throat with cold lemon water, others with cold peppermint tea, while some prefer warm beverages like tea, preferably with a slice of lemon.

Anger, outbursts, rage, or getting upset have various functions. However, when it becomes excessive or out of proportion, something underneath triggers it. It can ruin relationships and have negative effects in many other situations. This impacts not only the person who becomes unnecessarily angry but also family, friends, and colleagues who might hesitate to speak up or show their feelings. Sadly, everyone loses in this scenario Anger and aggression always stem from something deeper. Anger is a powerful emotion, and in reality, one loses control when they become too angry or have outbursts. It's here that amazing changes can be made, enabling you to remain calm and focused, viewing situations from a balanced perspective without exaggeration. As a result, you can address situations more effectively, even feeling satisfied afterward. For instance, If all emotions were detached and you saw the situation for what it truly was, you wouldn't have gotten angry. Instead, you'd discern how best to handle the situation in a calm, confident, and constructive manner. The result? You gain respect, are perceived by others as more reliable and stable, and come across as a strong leader. It's all advantages. My clients have already received tremendous assistance. ​ They have gained greater self-confidence and more realistic expectations of themselves without anger A enjoyable sense of inner calmness Been able to relax while still being efficient without the same inner stress More confidence in public speaking or during meetings Discovered inner abilities that were suppressed by anger and can now finally be utilized Having more fun, enjoying life more Family and friends have experienced more joy together and dared to relax. ​ There are only wonderful benefits when changing unnecessary aggression both in health and life Is anger hereditary? No, not in my experience! However, as a child, one might often mimic patterns from family and relatives or as a cooping mechanism. A kind of survival strategy that perhaps worked at that time, when it was needed. It can be changed through various methods. Some anger is healthy in certain areas It can protect and help us defend against harmful things or events, allowing us to extricate ourselves from the situation. Anger can also be used positively, prompting you to take action, to stand up against something. Being angry and daring to say "stop!" when you're treated unfairly or when someone behaves poorly. However - there's a significant difference between getting angry and taking action by saying "stop" and having an outburst and losing control." Anger should serve as a defense protocol where one reacts appropriately to the situation they are in. Different aggression exists Passive aggression Passive aggression is expressed in cynicism, pessimism, bitterness, sharp sarcasm which can lead to backbiting, undermining, and procrastinating. The aggression is present, but it is passive. Suppresst anger Not daring to express one's opinions, or stand up for one's needs (reasonable ones) can lead to feelings of resignation and hopelessness. The anger is often turned inward, manifesting as negative and ruminative thoughts about others and oneself, doubting one's own abilities and competence. Anger can give many negative effects Anger is rooted in many emotions, ranging from frustration to feeling unseen, attacked, stressed, unloved, hated or hating others, hopelessness, incompetence, unimportant, self-critical, powerless, belittled, and so on. It also arises when one doesn't dare to acknowledge their own "negative" traits and blames others all the time. It becomes a Catch-22 that doesn't lead to anything positive. Anger creates emotions in the body! They need to be released in some way. That's why there are ONLY benefits if you transform it into something that works FOR you instead." Inward-directed anger One can direct it inward, leading to high blood pressure, headaches, muscle pain, stress issues, difficulty sleeping, and more...

Unraveling the Mind-Body Connection: The Power of Emotions and Hypnotherapy in Shaping Our Health Have you ever wondered if the way you feel could actually influence your physical health? Well, you're in for a fascinating journey into the world of emotions, thoughts, and their remarkable impact on our well-being. Let's dive into some intriguing research that connects our inner emotional world to our physical health, especially our immune system. Imagine this: your thoughts and feelings are like gentle, yet potent, messengers coursing through your body, reaching every cell, delivering unique instructions. This isn't just a flight of fancy but is grounded in the amazing science of epigenetics, which shows us how deeply interconnected our minds, emotions, and physical health really are. You will find some studies at the end of this page. You have probably heard or read about stress and how stress impacts your body down to your very cell. but there's more than just stress. The Mind-Body Connection Consider a study focusing on the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of the brain, particularly linked to emotions like depression. Researchers discovered something startling: heightened activity in the right PFC, associated with distressing thoughts, correlated with a weaker antibody response to flu shots. Conversely, more activity in the left PFC, associated with positive emotions, led to a better antibody response. This fascinating finding hints at how our emotional states might directly influence our immune system, though the exact pathways remain a tantalizing mystery. Relationship between emotions and immune response Another study employed a meticulous time-series analysis to unravel the relationship between our daily emotional states and immune response. Participants recorded their emotions regularly and gave urine samples for neopterin levels—a marker of immune system activity. The results? A clear correlation between emotional states and immune activity, underscoring the powerful influence of our psychological well-being on our physical health. Psychoneuroimmunology: The Crossroads of Mind, Nerves, and Immunity Adding another layer to this intricate puzzle is the field of psychoneuroimmunology, which explores the interactions among psychological factors, the nervous system, and the immune system. It's been found that stress and negative emotions can dampen our immune response, making us more prone to illnesses. On the other hand, positive emotions and a stable mental state seem to bolster our immune system's efficacy. Hence why hypnotherapy, meditation, positive intent, gratitude and joy can aid your wellbeing. Epigenetics breakthrough - why it matters Now, let's talk about epigenetics, where the information through experiments was revealed. It's like a secret conversation between our experiences and our DNA. Stress, for example, doesn't just make us feel uneasy; it actively prompts our genes to behave differently. Studies with stressed medical students revealed changes in the expression of about 24 genes. These shifts can lead to longer healing times, suppressed immune function, and more. But the silver lining? We have the power to influence these changes positively! Stress and Its Underestimated Impact on Health Lets look a bit deeper into stress, our not-so-friendly companion. When you're under stress, say, during an intense work project or when dealing with personal challenges, your body is not just idly standing by. It's actively responding. Research has shown that in such times, our genes can change their behavior. Temporary stress These changes can have a range of effects, including longer wound healing times, decreased intercellular communication, suppressed immune system, poorer inflammation response, and increased susceptibility to autoimmune diseases and infections. These findings illustrate the profound impact stress can have on our bodies at a cellular level. Stress is often seen as a temporary, albeit uncomfortable, part of life. However, its impact on our physical health can be more profound than we realize. Don´t stress about it, do something about it! Yes you can. Chronic stress can lead to: Weakened Immune System: Making you more susceptible to illnesses. Increased Inflammation: Potentially exacerbating conditions like arthritis and heart disease. Hormonal Imbalances: Affecting everything from mood to metabolism. Digestive Issues: Such as IBS or chronic indigestion. Sleep Disorders: Impacting overall health and well-being. But knowing how you can change it also gives us the amazing insight that we can change again! We can do something about it! Hypnotherapy: A Pathway to Positive Change Hypnotherapy can be a game-changer in mitigating these negative effects of stress. By inducing a state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness, it allows individuals to: Reframe Stressful Thoughts: Transforming the perception of stressors and reducing their impact. Promote Deep Relaxation: Counteracting the 'fight or flight' response and fostering a state of calm. Enhance Emotional Regulation: Helping to manage emotions like anxiety and depression more effectively. Strengthen the Mind-Body Connection: Encouraging a healthier response to emotional challenges. Foster Positive Lifestyle Changes: Supporting habits that contribute to overall well-being. The Empowering Journey with Hypnotherapy Incorporating hypnotherapy into your wellness routine can be a transformative amazing experience. It's not just about learn how to handle symptoms but about empowering you to take control of your emotional and physical health. By addressing the root causes of stress and emotional blocks, hypnotherapy paves the way for a more balanced, healthy life. Whether you're struggling with deep-seated emotional issues, chronic stress, or simply seeking a more harmonious connection between your mind and body, hypnotherapy offers a very comfortable relaxing yet effective path. A short-cut to quicker effective help. Giving our cells better help - is something you can do! The bright side: our happy, positive emotions are equally powerful. When we engage in activities that bring us joy and peace, like practicing yoga, meditating, being grateful, feeling joy or simply enjoying a hearty laugh with friends, we're not just lifting our spirits; we're also sending waves of positive energy/help to our cells. These activities have been linked to beneficial changes in our gene expression, kind of like a happy lullaby that helps our cells function at their best. A help to the cells to get powered up and strong. Positive thoughts and emotions can lead to beneficial changes at the cellular level. It's like sending a love letter as instructions to our cells, giving them help to work at their best. The story gets even more heartwarming. People with a strong sense of spirituality or belief in a higher power, like those with HIV/AIDS in certain studies, have shown remarkable resilience. Their strong beliefs and feelings of being loved and supported by a higher power appeared to slow the progression of their illness. It's as if their belief provided a shield, guarding their physical well-being. And it's not just about fighting illness. Our mental states can even influence how we heal. Studies have shown that a positive outlook can lead to faster recovery from surgeries and better overall health outcomes. Hypnotherapy before and after a surgery has shown increase in recovery sometimes up to 50% faster. Read more here.

PMS, or premenstrual syndrome, can be a really challenging time for many women. One of the most noticeable symptoms is pain and mood swings that can make everyday life difficult and stressful, not only for the woman but also for her family. A method that has proven to be very effective in reducing PMS symptoms, including mood swings, is hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is a non-invasive treatment method that involves relaxation to reach a relaxed and focused state. This state is natural and something most of us experience every day, such as when daydreaming or getting absorbed in a book or movie. By using hypnotherapy for PMS, you can change the brain's behavior patterns and reduce both conscious and subconscious stress and biological responses. It is also important to note that hypnotherapy is a safe method without side effects. In fact, many women who have used hypnotherapy for PMS have reported significant improvement in their symptoms and better management of their PMS period. I teach you how to work WITH your body. Make you a great team, Camilla says It may take a few sessions (usually 2-3) done monthly before significant improvement is seen, but most women report noticeable difference after just one session. Hypnotherapy can also be used preventatively to reduce the risk of symptoms getting worse. My PMS decreased drastically "I have suffered from both mood swings and pain and heavy bleeding, which unfortunately also affected my family. It was so bad that I could hardly go to work for the first 1-2 days. It was terrible! After 3 sessions, the bleeding has decreased significantly and it is easier to manage. I no longer bleed through at night and I don't panic anymore when I have to go somewhere because the bleeding has decreased. What a huge difference. It's amazing that hypnotherapy could help so much. I chose to change my irritations to focus on cleaning that day. It was great! Effective and then it feels really good, so I can enjoy to relax afterwards. I now have no problem going to work and have almost forgotten how difficult it was before. A big heartfelt THANK YOU!!!! Such an incredible difference." In the end, hypnotherapy is a highly effective treatment method for PMS and mood swings. It is safe, non-invasive, and can provide significant relief from symptoms. If you suffer from PMS or know someone who does, it may be worth considering hypnotherapy as a form of help. Remember that it is important to consult a qualified hypnotherapist to ensure that you receive the best possible treatment for your needs. At Ce-hypnosis, we have experience and have helped many women with good results. Studies and research PMS and hypnosis/hypnotherapy Here is an example of some studies that show results of hypnosis and hypnotherapy for reducing PMS and menstrual bleeding: A study from 2018, published in the journal BMC Women's Health, examined the effect of hypnosis on PMS symptoms in women. The results showed that women who received hypnotherapy experienced a significant reduction in symptoms compared to women in a control group who did not receive any treatment. The researchers therefore recommended hypnosis as a potential treatment method for PMS. Link to the study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6124559/ Another study from 2015, published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, investigated the effect of hypnosis on pain and other PMS symptoms in women. The results showed that hypnotherapy led to a significant reduction in pain and other symptoms compared to women who did not receive hypnosis treatment. The researchers therefore recommended hypnosis as a potential treatment method for women with PMS. Link to the study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26497852/ A review article from 2019, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry, summarized several studies that investigated the effect of hypnosis on PMS symptoms. The results showed that hypnotherapy can be effective in reducing pain, depression, and anxiety related to PMS. The researchers therefore recommended hypnosis as a potential treatment method for women with PMS. Link to the review article: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2019.00260/full In summary, these studies suggest that hypnosis and hypnotherapy can be an effective treatment method for reducing PMS symptoms and menstrual bleeding.

Have you ever heard of hypnosis? It is a form of therapy that uses suggestion and concentration to help people change behaviors or achieve their goals. Unfortunately, hypnosis is often misrepresented in the media and in the public consciousness, leading to many misconceptions about its effectiveness and safety. Here are five common myths about hypnosis - and why they are incorrect Myth #1: Hypnosis only for entertainment. This is one of the most common myths about hypnosis. Many believe that hypnosis is only used for entertainment purposes, such as on stage in a nightclub or in a TV show. However, hypnosis is actually a well-known therapeutic technique used to help people change phobias, reduce sugar cravings, allergies, pollen or manage stress, depression and anxiety, pain relief, PTSD, OCD and postpartum depression etc. There are many more areas of application as well. One very useful application is to give birth without pain. There are specially trained professionals in this area and it is a fantastic natural way for both the baby and the mother, as it results in less trauma for all parties involved, and instead a wonderful experience where the body also heals faster. Myth #2: Hypnosis is dangerous and/or can create brain damage. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hypnosis can cause brain damage or any other harm. On the contrary, it is a form of focus and mindfulness that helps with relaxation. Hypnosis is a natural therapy that poses no risks to physical or mental health (as long as you don't have certain mental illnesses). Different countries have different regulations regarding what can be done with hypnotherapy. In England, psychologists and psychiatrists often refer their patients to or collaborate with hypnotherapists to more effectively change certain behaviors. Some even have a whole team of doctors and psychologists who work with hypnotherapists. Myt #3: Hypnosis makes you lose control Another common myth about hypnosis is that it makes you lose control. This is completely untrue. Hypnosis involves a deep relaxation and a state of high concentration, but you still have full control over your actions and decisions. Myt #4: Hypnosis only works on some special people. Many people believe that hypnosis only works for a few select individuals and that it is not an effective form of therapy for everyone. This is also a misconception. Hypnosis is a therapy that can help at least 90% of those who want to change their behavior or achieve their goals, regardless of age, gender, or background. (There are certain personality types that absolutely do not want to change, such as psychopaths and sociopaths.) Myt #5: Hypnos is a qick fix. Many people believe that hypnosis is a quick fix for all problems and that it can change everything at once. But that's not the case. Hypnosis is a therapy that requires commitment and time from both the client and the therapist to be effective. However, it is extremely effective as we work directly with the subconscious mind. For example, I have had many clients who have been seeing a psychologist for 10-15 years (who works with the conscious mind) and the results after seeing me has been about 20 sessions. So more effective depending on the issue. Another example is phobias, which may only need 1-3 sessions, extremely effective, don't you think? As you can see, there are many myths about hypnosis that are not true. Hypnosis is actually an effective and safe natural therapy that can help you change your behavior or achieve your goals.
