HONG KONG, March 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As cases of COVID-19 increase around the world, leading Hong Kong hypnotherapist Christine Deschemin of the Renewed Edge Hypnotherapy Center, has developed a new hypnosis app that strives to support those struggling with stress and anxiety to relax, remain calm, build mental resilience and practice self-care.
The UpNow app, which is available today on the Apple App Store, offers a comprehensive library of self-hypnosis audios that have been carefully curated to help people stay resilient and emotionally healthy as communities continue to face lockdowns and social distancing measures.
Designed to address some of the biggest stressors of modern life from anxiety and depression to sleep disorders and pain management, the app which helps users manage their mental wellness remotely, explores mindful themes with guided self-hypnosis programmes organised into 15 dedicated audio categories that include:
In addition, aside from enabling users to tailor the experience to their own individual situations and symptoms, the easy-to-follow self-hypnosis sessions are on average 20 to 25 minutes in length making it easy for people to fit into their schedules. Offering over 20 hours of premium audio content, the app which is free to download also provides users with the opportunity to save favourites for when they are offline.
According to the National Institutes of Health database, over 14,000 studies have been performed on hypnosis.
With the science increasingly supporting its effectiveness, many medical and psychological associations today recognise the benefits of hypnotherapy for generalized anxiety disorders and other conditions with a stress-related element.
With the coronavirus taking a toll on people's mental health, Ms. Deschemin expresses that in these uncertain times where anxiety, insomnia and other ailments are affecting more people than ever, the practice of self-hypnosis can play a major role in alleviating such problems.
"Given the realities of this challenging period, it's essential to not only care for our physical health, but our psychological well-being," says Ms. Deschemin. "One particular benefit of hypnotherapy is that by creating a state of focused awareness, you become more open and receptive to things that you want for yourself.
"In turn, hypnosis can help you to make changes at the subconscious level from calming nerves and managing difficult emotions to adopting positive behaviours and constructive thoughts. This includes redirecting energy towards improving optimism and embracing healthy habits that can protect and promote good health."
Ms. Deschemin shares that the aim of UpNow is to make self-hypnosis an accessible tool for all, while citing that, contrary to popular belief, people who are experiencing hypnosis do not lose control and, thereby, would not do anything that they would usually find unacceptable.
"Quite the opposite, growing scientific research supports the benefits of hypnosis in being able to assist with a wide range of conditions from stress and depression to sleep disturbances, pain, low confidence, addictions, weight management and phobias.
"In fact, hypnotherapy is even becoming increasingly popular among business leaders seeking support with performance issues such as focus, confidence, presentation anxiety and goal-setting."
Through the UpNow app, users can become more empowered by learning to enter a state of focused awareness to relieve anxiety, improve sleep, build mental fitness and live healthier - all from the comfort of their own homes.
As an internationally certified hypnotherapist, Ms. Deschemin is passionate about helping people improve their lives and has developed UpNow to bring the benefits of hypnosis to the masses. With a strong interest in peak performance, she also has helped countless athletes, executives and individuals overcome behavioural and emotional challenges to attain their goals and improve their mental and physical well-being.
