Coping with corporate stress.
It doesn’t matter what your location is on the corporate ladder you may still be affected by stress at work. Here we investigate how corporate hypnosis could help with these common problems.
is stress in the workplace getting you down? You are not alone.
Businesses can be a hotbed for tension, anxiousness and all manner of panic and turmoil, where ever you are on the career hierarchy. Actually, around 39% of UK work related illnesses in 2013/2014 were associated with stress, anxiety or depressive disorders (1).
Are you in senior management, finding that stress commonly comes in the form of investor targets, handling workforce and making redundancies? Or maybe you are closer to the ‘front line’, struggling under the bureaucracy and layers of management from managers who seem out of touch with the truth?
Although employees would rarely admit to suffering stress for fear of being thought of as weak, the sad fact is that stress underpins a large proportion of personnel absenteeism. Fellow workers may also be suspicious that a person who is absent is simply ‘making it up’, which can then make it a great deal more difficult for the absent employee to come back, building the stress and anxiety and contributing to the overall problem.
Of course, employers are responsible for creating and fostering a good working atmosphere, but employees also need to feel capable of taking responsibility for their own levels of stress.
In corporate environments, plenty of workers will probably continue working until they quite literally have a breakdown and find themselves utterly unable to function. As stress spirals, problem solving, levels of energy and ability to interact with co-workers gets harder. Capabilities can then quickly begin to suffer, which creates a vicious cycle of stress.
Hypnotherapy techniques can be a valuable tool in combat ting work stress. Unlike traditional medicine or therapy which may help a person contend with the stress they are struggling with right here, right now, hypnosis will help tackle the root of the matter.
More often than not, our ability to succumb to stress is brought on by a trauma or issue that is much deeper than just the environment we are presently working or living in.
A hypnotherapist will probably normally seek out any underlying problems and remove or change the effect it is having on the employee’s psychological mind as well as teaching the staff member how to chill out properly. So the techniques used will not only enable the person receiving the hypnosis to relieve themselves of stress in their current workplace, but in all areas of their life.
The company benefits, the employee benefits and if everybody invested in their mental health in this way, the economy would also gain from a higher rate of workplace productivity and a significantly reduced number of employee sick days.
