Stress and chronic illness are interconnected. Scientists have shown that when the body is chronically stressed it is unable to properly regulate hormones and the immune system, which results in illness. Stress comes from many sources including physical threats, daily tasks, problems, fatigue, anxiety and illness. Stress has a significant impact on PD patients because it decreases the bodys ability to repair and regenerate as well as worsening PD symptoms, especially tremor.
Hypnotherapy has been shown to be highly effective at reducing stress. Hypnotherapist Steve Frison discusses hypnotherapy and how it is used to reduce symptoms and improve the health and well-being of those with PD.
