Hypnosis for Stress and Anxiety in Lille
Julie Bouchonville sees clients at her office in Marquette-lez-Lille, on the edge of Lille, and by video.
Stress that never lets up, anxiety, panic attacks, thoughts going round in circles: we help you find calm again in your daily life.
Stress and anxiety: life in the Lille metropolitan area
Traffic jams on the A1 and A25 morning and evening, a packed metro, working days that spill into the evening, trips back and forth to Paris or Belgium, grey skies that last for weeks in winter: the pace of the metropolitan area wears you down more than you might think. Over time, the body stays switched on even when there is nothing left to deal with.
Many of our clients describe the same thing: they seem to be coping, but they sleep badly, keep going over things, and run out of steam faster than before.
Her clients come from all over the metropolitan area: Lille, Marquette-lez-Lille, Marcq-en-Barœul, La Madeleine, Lambersart, Saint-André, Wambrechies, Villeneuve-d'Ascq, Roubaix and Tourcoing.
Stress, anxiety, panic: how they differ
- Stress is a normal reaction to change. It becomes a problem when it settles in: stress hormones stay high, and sleep, digestion or the body's defences pay the price.
- Anxiety is the anticipation of a future threat, with worry and muscle tension. It becomes overwhelming when it outgrows the real danger: thoughts that keep coming back, restless nights, situations you start to avoid.
- Panic is an intense, mostly physical fear, often with no identifiable cause. It can take the form of anxiety attacks or panic attacks.
- Performance anxiety shows up when you feel judged: at work, in your studies, on stage, in sport or in social situations.
If anxiety keeps you from functioning day to day, talk to your doctor or a psychologist first. Hypnosis can support that care, never replace it.
Stress in children and teenagers
Local children and teens live at a busy pace too: the brevet, the baccalauréat and Parcoursup, one activity after another, screens late at night, how others see them at school and on social media. In young people, stress often shows up in the body: stomach aches, trouble falling asleep, nightmares, irritability, refusing to go to school.
What hypnosis can do for you
Video transcript
Bonjour. L'anxiété est un des motifs les plus fréquents de consultation en hypnose thérapeutique. En fait, c'est un mot qui recouvre des réalités assez différentes selon les clients. Pour certains, cela veut dire un stress mental intense. Le hamster qui tourne sans cesse et qui est souvent associé à des troubles du sommeil et à une grande fatigue mentale et physique. Pour d'autres, on se rapproche plus de la définition classique de l'anxiété, il s'agit de craintes par rapport à l'avenir.
L'imagination, qui embarque avec des “et si ” négatifs et même parfois des scénarios catastrophes. Et puis pour certains, l'expérience de crises de panique où le corps et le mental disjonctent. Les symptômes, dans certains cas, peuvent être très handicapants. Et si votre situation est difficile à supporter, consultez un médecin ou un psychologue pour vous faire accompagner. En fonction de l'intensité, du stress, des peurs et des symptômes associés.
Les stratégies d'accompagnement en hypnose vont être différentes. Tout d'abord, il est important de rappeler que l'hypnose n'est pas magique. L'hypnose vous accompagne aussi loin que vous serez prêt à aller. Pour vous aider à mieux gérer votre anxiété. Il vous faudra sans doute plusieurs séances et après avoir identifié la meilleure stratégie pour vous, il sera sûrement nécessaire de combiner différentes approches. Ces approches sont très variées, issues notamment de différents types d'hypnose et de PNL.
Ceci dit, la première séance d'hypnose est souvent marquante pour nos clients, car l'état d'hypnose est un état de grande détente physique et mentale. Ainsi, ils redécouvrent un état de détente qu'ils n'avaient souvent pas connu depuis longtemps et du coup, redécouvrent aussi la confiance que leur situation peut s'améliorer. En fonction de vos symptômes et de vos objectifs. Vous allez par exemple travailler avec votre hypnothérapeute comment alléger votre vie quand la coupe est pleine physiquement ou émotionnellement, changer de perspective.
relever le nez du guidon, identifier vos discours intérieurs et scénarios qui vous handicapent et les croyances qui y sont associées, pour défaire vos spirales de pensées négatives, mettre en place de nouveaux automatismes, pratiquer des techniques de respiration pour vous aider à revenir dans le moment présent et retrouver plus de calme quand le stress augmente. Chaque personne est unique et nous travaillerons ensemble pour vous trouver les bonnes clés pour vous.
Si vous souhaitez mieux gérer votre stress et votre anxiété. L'équipe d’hypnothérapeutes de Solutions Hypnose est là pour vous aider. En présentiel, près de chez vous, ou par vidéo, cela fonctionne aussi très bien. Prenez rendez-vous dès maintenant pour créer la vie que vous souhaitez grâce à l'hypnose. A bientôt.
Hypnotherapy is a complementary form of support and does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have any concerns about your health, please consult a physician first.
Managing stress better
Hypnosis is a state of deep physical and mental relaxation. You discover it in session, then learn to return to it on your own, thanks to the anchors set up together.
Knowing your typical stressors, the inner talk and the emotional reactions that come with them, lets you see them coming and respond better.
Easing the symptoms of anxiety
Spotting your worst-case scenarios and the signs that an anxiety or panic attack is coming helps you take back control sooner: over your sleep, over the attacks, over your self-confidence.
Stopping the mental hamster wheel: when thoughts keep looping, when you dwell on the past or can no longer make choices, hypnosis quiets that anxious inner voice. "It's not possible" gives way to new options.
With children and teens
Hypnosis speaks to them naturally: it draws on imagination and play, in sessions adapted to their age. They leave with simple tools they can use on their own, at home, before a test or at bedtime, and parents are involved along the way. If symptoms persist, talk to your paediatrician or GP first.
