Would you rather get rid of your stress or learn to live with it?
Stress release aims to get rid of it. Stress management helps you to live with it. How does this work?
Two aspects to stress
The real-life situations, people and events that can be pressing in on you. Things like sour relationships, bad health, demands for money that you don't have, or an unpleasant environment at home, work or school.
Your reactions to these stressors. These can include unintended repeats of past reactions to events no longer present, what some people call "baggage."
Yawnguy sessions address baggage
If you discharge a ton of stress associated with an abusive childhood this will not change the past, but you should be able to look at those memories without feeling the hurt again.
You may not be able to get a new boss at work, but if you can permanently get rid of the baggage associated with a lifetime of bad working environments you are likely to find your current environment at work much easier to tolerate.
Stress management versus stress release
Stress management usually works – when it does – by removing or reducing the obvious stressors (get a new job etc), or by directing the person's attention away from the stressful topic and onto something else more pleasant (go out to the pub with friends etc). However, the baggage still remains to come back and bite you another day.
Stress release is aimed at reducing or getting rid of the baggage, not simply directing attention onto something else. Getting rid of, as in not there any more. The awful things that happened at school (for example) will still have happened, but reminders of them won't cause the anguish they did before.
But isn't this impossible?
Isn't it extremely difficult or impossible to remove such baggage? Well, have a free session and see for yourself. See my previous post for details. The next post is about Rub & Yawn, an integral part of Yawnguy procedures.
