Do you feel angry a lot of the time, or find yourself losing your temper?
Anger can be very destructive, eating away at us and destroying our relationships, and yet it is actually just another signal that we are too stressed.Once our systems become overloaded and we begin to feel that we cannot cope we will react in one of three ways — anxiety (including panic attacks), depression or anger and sometimes two or even all three at once. Other people often fail to recognise anger as a sign of stress and no wonder. The person who is being angry can be very frightening. Perhaps you are even being physically violent toward someone else. Learning to control and disperse your anger begins by recognising when you are under stress and learning ways to relieve that stress.
What are the symptoms of too much stress or anxiety?
Symptoms of excessive stress can include:- Difficulty getting to sleep or waking in the night (insomnia)

How can hypnotherapy help with anger?
Hypnosis helps to reduce anger in three ways.
Firstly the trance sessions will reduce your level of stress. If you want to know more about trance read the section called What is trance?Secondly the process of seeing a good hypnotherapist will actually help you to reclaim control of your life. You will become calmer, more confident and generally better able to cope. It gives you space to review what is going on in your life, and during trance you will often come up with solutions to problems that you had previously thought were insurmountable. Your self-esteem will improve so that you feel better about yourself. Once you start to feel better about yourself you will find it much easier to be tolerant and patient with other people.
Finally you will learn tips and techniques for reducing and controlling your anger.
American Health Magazine reported the following findings from a recent study.
The majority of people believe hypnosis is a last resort tool for smoke cessation, weight loss or changing habits. Few people know hypnosis is a dynamic and vital healing process embracing all aspects of mental health care. Hypnosis is client-centered with its focus on the discovery of the origin of a person's issues. This study clearly points outóHypnosis is more effective and works more quickly than traditional talk-therapy or psychoanalysis. In a hypnotic state, you are more receptive to new ideas and you can more effectively process the emotions linked to the experiences, which created pain, fear, sadness, anger, guilt, shame, humiliation and low self-esteem.
