The summer days are fast approaching, for some this fills them with joy and excitement, for others it is filled with dread and anticipation….why? Because of the dreaded summer allergies and hay fever. Imagine feeling like you have the heaviest of colds or flu with a raw throat and itchy eyes that tear and stream constantly, whilst the rest of the population are extolling the virtues of “The wonderful long summer days”
Looking at the psychology behind how often do we accept a label and fully live up to it? Well the answer may be many more often than we should. The challenge that we have as human beings is that we have used words to identify things, but the words are never fully reflective of the true experience.
For example, lets say you go to the doctors one summers day because your eyes are sore and your nose is runny. The likely hood is that your doctor, whom you respect and trust, will apply a label to your symptoms, in an effort to provide an explanation of your experience so that it can then be treated.
So your doctor tells you, have Hay fever. From that Summer onwards you grow to expect you will suffer with Hay fever . You know only too well how you will feel, what your symptoms will be, when they will start, when they will stop. You even compare your suffering with other episodes of suffering the self same symptoms of hay fever, to compete and identify which was the worst!
What Can help?
When do you know to stop being a Hay fever sufferer- how do you know that you haven’t grown out of it? Could your

expectation of it be the sole reason that it is continually re-created?
How about stress? Is that a factor for allergy sufferers? For many asthmatics eczema and psoriasis sufferers it is a deciding factor in the severity of the condition.
So how can NLP and hypnosis help? Well as we know one of the major frames of NLP is the cause and effect frame. This moves the client out of “I suffer” and into “I create.” This in itself may not be enough to stop the allergic reaction, but does at least get the client away from relying on a treatment for the problem and looking more towards how they continue to cause it. As a hypnotherapist based in central Watford, Hertfordshire, I get the client to look at the old condition in new ways my philosophy “being if you change the way you look at things the things you look at change.”
For those whose Symptoms are aggravated by stress, Hypnosis is especially beneficial at creating relaxation and relieving tension and suggestions for healing can be given to the patient, few patients would look at underlying stress levels when looking for help with their hay fever, however look at what is driving the condition and reduce/remove this and in many cases the issue is resolved.
