Stress shuts down your immune system

Stress is supposed to be an emergency reaction. It is for running away from, fighting or surviving danger or disaster. But, if stress is generated on a full-time basis because of our modern habit of freezing and staying with the cause of the stress, processes in the body which are not immediately essential are taken offline to allow their energy consumption to go elsewhere in response to the emergency.

Two processes which are not immediately essential in an emergency are the immune system and the healing processes in all cells: The body is made vulnerable and weak.

A strong immune response throughout the body is associated with recovery from Coronavirus.

Being stressed is not a good time to catch Coronavirus. Your body’s only ability to fight it is reduced, on hold or shut down.

Lockdown anxiety brings stress

Lockdown anxiety comes because Coronavirus, lockdown or isolation are things happening which you don't want to happen and have no control over; this formula brings depression and also anxiety because you are forced to accept something you don't want and you cannot fight against it.

This opposes your free will; you feel frustration and anger which will also bring depression if they are not resolved and in this current situation - and there is no resolution.

You feel angry and helpless to fight the cause and so your anger can be directed at others who do not deserve it - this means trouble and stress.

It is vital your immune system is online and strong

A virus attacks the body by attaching to and taking over cells and making them do things they shouldn’t. The way the body fights a virus is by the immune system producing antibodies that target and destroy the virus. The body usually remembers the virus and is ready to fight it immediately if it meets it again.

However, Coronavirus has several strains and sub groups. Also a virus mutates as it spreads. So if the body meets Coronavirus again, as in the second wave that has already hit Asia, it may have to go through the antibody learning and manufacturing process again; it may be ill and contagious again. Antibodies are now known to fade away after a number of weeks. You need your immune system and you need it to be up and running - and running well.

Your mental wellbeing is essential to your body's only defence against Coronavirus

Coronavirus is something new, current and ongoing: Not much can be done about that.

We all live with a certain amount of baggage in our minds and manage quite well because the level of baggage is below our threshold of tolerance to it. Take that pile of baggage and throw Coronavirus on top and now the whole pile is higher than our level of tolerance - and we start to come apart at the seams. I have already said that not much can be done about Coronavirus but if it makes a previously manageable pile of baggage into an out of control beast - there is something that can be done about that.

Something need to be done because by this time, stress has shut down the immune system or is in the process of doing so. What can be done is to deal with all the other baggage that has been present up to now, thus enormously reducing the size of the pile of baggage and increasing your ability to cope with what is left - Coronavirus... on its own.

Hypnotherapy can help deal with processes running in the background which are taking up vital energy. Hypnotherapy can help your body bring about a restoration of your immune system.
