Stress related illness

Many conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pain, migraine and chronic fatigue syndrome have an emotional component. Stressful events often trigger an outbreak because emotions affect health - and vice versa.

The human givens approach can provide effective help regardless of any diagnostic label. We help you to understand your innate human needs, identify any which are

unmet by your current situation and work with you to find effective ways to get them met. We believe that ill health can be interpreted as a clear message that something in your life needs to change and we can help you to focus on taking practical steps in the right direction at a speed which suits you and your current circumstances.

We use explanations of brain function along with guided imagery and relaxation techniques to help you feel better from the very first session. We talk to you about your experiences and listen to your story, but we do not dwell excessively on the past. We help you to focus on taking small practical steps towards a brighter future, using your own innate resources. Even if you feel that you have few resources, we can show you how to use those skills which you do have to the greatest effect.

Call us now to find out how we can help you.
