How to Overcome Anxiety

Thu, 03/15/2012 - 14:25 — London Wellbein...

It is not uncommon for everyone to deal with anxiety at some point. A great many people can sympathize with those who are feeling stressed about taking part in a new job, undergoing an interview, seeing a doctor, or having to take an exam. A person might be concerned about looking foolish, being unsuccessful, or just having to deal with being uncomfortable. When such sensations become a bit overwhelming, all manner of anxious and disturbing feelings could manifest. Thankfully, your anxieties can disappear if this goes well.

Short term anxious reactions actually do have their use. When you are nervous prior to an exam, such nervous energy could help you become more alert. Your performance could even be improved as a result. Yet, if these feelings of anxiety start to become overwhelming, you probably would lose your ability to perform well and your concentration would suffer as a result. Coping with anxiety may become a lot easier once you have a better understanding of it. In truth, the more you understand anxiety then the closer you become towards dealing with it in an effective manner.

When you are exposed to a stressful situation, an anxiety attack may occur which means all sorts of chemicals can flood the bloodstream. When this occurs:

Your heart will begin to beat very fast and you will feel a sense of irregularity when it beats.

Your legs may become limp and there could be tightness in the chest.

Rapid and shallow breath becomes the norm.

You mind becomes alert and your muscles are tense.

Stomach distress and light-headedness becomes likely.

You may even rush to the bathroom

All of this can be considered a major reaction to a threat. You will find yourself in a fight or flight scenario. Whatever you eventually decide to do at such an instance will be up to you.

In the instance where anxiety and fear linger without any seeming end in sight and begin to cause serious problems with day to day events, this could be reflective of an anxiety disorder. There are five different forms anxiety takes. There would be GAD which is General Anxiety Disorder, OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, PTSD or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, phobias or panic disorders.

Daily Anxiety

• Having a hard time sleeping, feeling sadness or anxiety right after a traumatic event.

• Taking the steps to ensure you reside in a safe and hazard free environment and stay healthy.

• Being mindful of any serious fear of a dangerous event, place or object.

• Experiencing nerves or ‘butterflies in the stomach’ prior to a major event along the lines of a live performance, business presentation or final exam.

• Self-consciousness or embarrassment in a social situation which might prove to be a little awkward.

• Suffering from anxiety related to romantic breakups, a job search, or covering debts.

Disorders of Anxiety

The experiencing of recurring flashback, nightmares, and emotional numbing due to a connection to a traumatic event that happened in the past.

Taking part in repeated excessive actions along the lines of constant checking, cleaning, or arranging and touching things.

Avoiding situations or places or objects due to an irrational fear when no danger is present.

Avoiding social situations due to fear of embarrassment or judgment from others.

Perpetual worry to the point your day to day life activities are upended.

There are quite a number of things which can be done to lower your anxiety levels to something that is more manageable. You might discover merely thinking about anxiety can lead to it becoming worse. The very first step to take would be to break the cycle of insecurity through directly facing your anxieties and thinking about how it really makes you feel. The minute you begin to take control of the situation, you will discover your life begins to feel much better.

You might have the ability to control your symptoms via relaxing and breathing techniques and also through slowing and improving your thoughts so they decrease negativity and present positive ones instead.

Complementary therapy can help boost your ability to sleep better and remain relaxed. Reflexology, massage, aromatherapy, hypnotherapy, yoga, and meditation can all be a great help. You might discover that exercise can be extremely beneficial as well since it can burn up excess hormones along the lines of adrenaline which can be produced in very stressful situations and this then allows your muscles the ability to relax. Getting a great deal of sleep and having a healthier diet can be a real plus when trying to cope with anxiety.

Something as seemingly unrelated as learning self-defence could prove helpful in terms of how it makes someone feel safe and secure. Discussing your problems with family members could prove to be a wise plan as this can help you let go of what may be on your mind. You may discover those close to you have suffered from similar problems and may be able to help you with your anxieties.

The Definition of Stress - When It All Gets Too Much

Mon, 02/13/2012 - 17:54 — London Wellbein...

Stress happens when the body responds to a difficult or demanding situation or thought. When a person is confronted by such a complex situation the body releases stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol. These stress hormones make the person alert and roused, and ready to face the situation head-on. The heart beats faster, muscles tighten, blood pressure shoots up and senses sharpen. Strength, stamina and focus are enhanced to deal with the situation.

Modern, fast-paced life is such that every person is impacted by stress almost on a daily basis. Office deadlines, financial commitments, personal frustrations, ego hassles, demanding relatives, etc., occur with unfailing regularity and get people all stressed out.

Stress can be motivating and energetic so long as it makes its appearances for a short while. But, when it lingers on, there can be hell to pay. People who are mostly stressed out are impacted by medical conditions, and emotional and social problems. They become less productive and turn irritable. Their quality of their life suffers dramatically.

Signs of stress

Cognitive signs of stress include memory problems, bad judgment, cynical, negative attitude, and anxiety. On an emotional level, the person becomes moody, short-tempered, agitated, lonely, unhappy and depressed. Physically, he suffers from high blood pressure, pains, lack of sex drive, and a repressed immune system, which leads to diseases and organ damage. A stressed out person gives himself away by indulging in excesses – for example, he may eat too much or too little, sleep more or less than recommended. A stressed out person typically withdraws into a shell, starts procrastinating and turns to alcohol and other substances for support. Stress has physical, mental and behavioural implications. It can even cause heart disease and other complex medical conditions.

Causes of stress

Stress is influenced by internal and external situations. Personal relationships, work pressure, economic recession, financial problems, family problems, etc., are a few external factors that cause stress. Pessimistic and cynical attitude, quest for perfection, a need to micro manage, or unreal expectations are major internal factors that stress a person out.

The secret solution that helps people cope with stress

If a person feels that stress is affecting his quality of life and destroying his productivity and relationships, then it is time to act and manage his stress. He must first accept the fact that he is stressed and needs help. Many folks recommend taking to yoga and meditation to beat stress and some folks recommend stress-busting medication. Though yoga and meditation can briefly calm a person down, they do not provide long-term stress solutions. As far as stress-busting medicine goes, a person cannot be having medicines all his life without suffering from serious side-effects.

Benefits of hypnotherapy in managing stress

Hypnotherapy helps strengthen the mind. It helps the affected patient develop a positive attitude and always look at the brighter side of each situation without delving into its negativity or dark side. The affected person comes to terms with his condition and realizes the need to change his way of thinking through and reacting to difficult situations.

The biggest advantage of hypnotherapy is that the hypnotherapist makes the patient go into a trance and enter an enhanced state of awareness. The patient focuses on the hypnotherapists commands and reveals his subconscious mind. The hypnotherapist is then able to figure out the leading causes of stress and fix these. The hypnotherapist suggests ideas and concepts to the patient and these positive ideas become ingrained in the patient’s subconsciousness.

The person emerges as a new, inspired, and determined man after the hypnotherapy session. Eliminating stress from his life becomes an important goal and he works towards attaining it. Yoga and meditation can condition the mind to a certain extent, but they cannot work on the subconscious the way hypnotherapy does.

Conclusion

Every person suffering from stress must deal with it on a priority basis. If stress remains unaddressed and untreated (especially over a long period of time) it may eventually cause serious physical, emotional and behavioural problems. Hypnotherapy works the quickest and it does not have any side-effects. It is recommended that people experiencing high-levels of stress should consider consulting a hypnotherapist to alleviate their condition.

How Toxin Testing Helps To Identify Your Anxiety Related Problems

Sat, 06/14/2008 - 09:23 — London Wellbein...

Toxin testing or Thought Field Therapy (TFT) is a very effective process of healing a variety of psychological and physical problems by tapping with fingers on the meridian points of the upper body and hands. The procedure has fetched accolades from far off lands, since it is simple and easy to apply. Toxin testing claims to heal obsessive-compulsive disorders, addictive behaviors, depression, phobia and anxiety.

What is Voice Technology in Toxin testing?

Dr. Roger Callahan invented the technology of toxin testing. It basically uses software that measures the voice tonality to fathom whether you are toxic to food, chemical or environment. After the testing is done and you are detected positive, then the therapy is used to eliminate the anxiety and anxiety related problems. Human beings have many complications in life and any trifle issue can give birth to depression and stress. For instance, trauma, weight loss, depression, sleep difficulties, addictions, disorders are all associated with nightmares and a very stressful life. So, in that case the TFT is very helpful and relieves you from the tangles of life.

How Toxin testing was first discovered?

Toxin testing or TFT was first discovered by Dr. Roger Callahan when he was treating a patient named Mary who was suffering from water phobia. Instead of following the footsteps of the traditional methods, he took to the tapping method which he encountered accidentally. He started by tapping underneath Mary's eyes, when suddenly the phobia was completely cured. The cure of her phobia is still now looked upon as an achievement of wonder and many therapists around the world is contributing their small efforts to make it a staunch therapy that is useful for all kinds of patients.

Understanding more about Thought Field Therapy

Roger Callahan defines the mind as the thought field. Now the patient is asked to rate their distress on a scale between one to ten. Post treatment, the success of TFT is measured again. If there is some change in the distress level, then you can understand that TFT is working. So in some cases the patient undergoes complete change after the first treatment, but in some cases the patient has to undergo a series of treatments.

Dr. Roger explains that each human being has his negative emotions and this is the part of the thought field. These negative emotions stay in the thought field as a separate entity. TFT rids the thought field of the perturbations and keeps your mind free from all negative thoughts.

Thought Field Therapy And Its Health Benefits

Wed, 06/11/2008 - 04:56 — London Wellbein...

Thought Field Therapy or TFT is an effective technique to eliminate emotional distress. TFT is believed to provide the sufferers of emotional disorders with an immediate relief from addictions, anxieties, phobias and fears. Agitating thoughts block the flow of energy throughout the body at the time of emotional distress. Thought Field Energy treats the blockage and lets the energy flow loose. Thus, TFT removes negative feelings and thoughts. TFT is a good therapy for trauma recovery.

Thought Field Therapy is based on a concept from Chinese medicine which predicts an invisible field of energy in the body. TFT is generally thought of as psychological acupuncture. The theory tells that negative feelings and emotions block the energy. The energy needs to be unblocked for disappearance of the factors causing emotional trouble or disorder. Dr. Roger Callahan, psychologist and physician has founded and developed the Thought Field Therapy for a period of sixteen years.          

Thought field therapy is supposed to set the mind free from all sort of emotional disturbance and disruption. It removes anxieties and agitations that lower the level of energy and enthusiasm down. This therapeutic treatment is a boost to the energy system of the body. Thought Field Therapy uses a combination of oriental medicine, modern science and technology to treat not only the mind but the body as well. Moreover, persons who are enrolled in a drug rehab facility, compulsive overeating facility, bulimia help center or anorexia nervosa treatment may benefit from TFT program.        

People who suffer from the following physical and mental illnesses may benefit from Thought Field Therapy:

- Anxiety
- Phobia
- Acute and chronic pain
- Depression
- Stress and mental distress
- Addiction

How Thought Field Therapy Works

Some of the thoughts are associated with the memory of past events and occurrences. These thoughts upset and agitate the mind from time to time at the slightest remembrance of unpleasant experiences. When the energy system of the body is out of order, the thoughts carry negative emotions that curb the flow of energy from the mind to the body. Then, the patient feels emotionally paralyzed.

The patient under the therapy speaks out his or her specific problem and the therapist taps at some points in the energy meridians of the body depending on the fact and figures of the problem. It results in the restoration of energy level that in turn, resolves the problem. Thought Field Therapy also includes some energy tests that show the response of the body to the treatment.

How Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Engulfs Your Mind

Tue, 06/10/2008 - 13:28 — London Wellbein...

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD is described as a state of anxiety disorder that is triggered by any grave event. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder occurs when the victim confronts any extreme psychological trauma in the past, which gives rise to a strangulating situation of stress disorder later. PTSD is considered to be more serious than traumatic stress, whose intensity and duration are both less.

Understanding Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

PTSD is very much complicated and is caused by psychological trauma. The sources of the traumatic conditions are very grueling, since they have a consequential impact on the mind. The victim of PTSD usually has faced some childhood or adult emotional, physical or sexual abuse, which triggers the present state of problem. The traumatic events that give birth to PTSD are grave and the person passing through the phrase must have met a serious twist in the past that bifurcated his/her life onto a very different track. However, the matter should be very intensifying to result in a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for the victim. The usual events include kidnapping, torture, violent assault, experiencing some natural disaster, violent car accidents and so on.

Hence, to brief down the causes of the disorder post stress traumatic events, have a look at the following:
- life experiences
- biological and gene factors
- changes in the natural chemicals of the brain
- changes in your temperament

The Symptoms of Disorder Post stress traumatic Events

Some major signs indicating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in any victim includes viewing flashbacks of the past events or experiencing a deja vu at every moment of your life. Sometimes, you may also feel emotionally numb and that will stop you from thinking normally. You may also take resort to excessive drinking and smoking and face serious problems in getting sound sleep or problem in concentrating. Sometimes, when the victim encounters any similar kind of events or returns to the same date then he/she recollects the bitter memory in a flash and the traumatic phase returns.

Some Preventive Measures

Critical Incident Stress Management or CISM is useful in reducing the impact of traumatic disorders. Though CISM is effective for many, but it has proved to be non-beneficial for a few. EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is targeted for the treatments of PTSD. This is considered quite an effective treatment for many.

EMDR Technique To Solve Traumatic Problems

Sat, 06/07/2008 - 13:50 — London Wellbein...

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or EMDR, is a form of psychotherapy that is used to solve symptoms that arise from unresolved and disturbing life experiences. EMDR is considered in the highest category of the list in the PSTD treatment list. It has a structured approach related to the past, present and future of the victim and how to deal with the difficulties arising or having impact on the present.

Be acquainted with EMDR so as to resolve it

EMDR is widely considered as the most effective treatment. It is safe, since it does not make use of drugs or hypnosis. It is non-invasive and involves the patient and the therapist to heal the victim completely. Those who have suffered for a long duration from distressing memories, anxiety, traumatic event and abuse are said to be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In such cases, EMDR is effective since it is a short-term therapy and is not complicated at all.

Therapists look at it as a breakthrough therapy. Worldwide, patients prefer the treatment because of its simplicity and less time consuming factor. To simply the method, the therapy is effective for a wide range of disorders that incorporate phobias, chronic pain, panic attacks, depression, traumatic incidents, sexual abuse, stage fright, performance fear and anxiety.

Know the person who discovered and how the therapist work

Psychologist Francine Shapiro first discovered in the 1980s that certain eye movements help to reduce the intensity of the disturbing thoughts that goes on at the back of our mind. It was in 1989, that she first published an article where she described about her innovative method of using EMDR and how it brings effectiveness to the victims. After EMDR was introduced to the world, many eye movement desensitization therapists have contributed hugely to the improvement of the treatment.

How the EMDR works?

When a distressing incident happens, the sounds, sights, thoughts and accompanying feelings get trapped in the nervous system. At this point the brain is unable to process the experience and your traumatized feeling is suppressed in the consciousness. But the problematic area lies in the fact that the distress lives in the nervous system and from time to time, it tickles the emotional functional of the victim. At this point, the EMDR works by locking the emotions and negative memories stored in the nervous system.

The eye movement desensitization therapists work by guiding the traumatic patient and matching the images and feelings with the client's eye movements. After the events are matched, the patient is redirected to the particular movements that trigger the release of memories.

The benefits of EMDR therapy

Some therapists like to experiment. They use the EMDR therapy in conjunction with other therapy modalities to erase the emotional distress and bring peace to the minds of the victims. What is most gainful of therapy is that you will benefit from the EMDR is elimination of distress and relief from the past trauma. In this way the client can return to his/her own emotional functioning and lead a very normal life.

Emotional Freedom Technique And Its Health Benefits

Fri, 06/06/2008 - 05:07 — London Wellbein...

Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT is a kind of psychotherapy practice, which is almost akin to acupuncture and acupressure. Needles generally are not used in EFT as in acupuncture. Emotional Freedom Technique involves the use of a person's fingertips for tapping in place of needles. In the case of this therapy, a balanced body is necessary as energy relating to emotions can affect the physical health of a person. Balance in energy is the outcome of Emotional Freedom Technique, which results in a relief from traumatic agony and anguish.

The therapy turns up with long-lasting effects even if it takes a little time to perform the process.  It is different from therapies for trauma and pain. Gary Craig developed this therapeutic technique on the basic bones of Thought Field Therapy (TFT). However, EFT is a simpler therapy than TFT. It involves no specific way for tapping to be effective.                  

The Process of EFT 

A revolutionary discovery that has violated the beliefs of conventional psychology is the base of Emotional Freedom Technique. The discovery contends that disruption in the energy system of the body is the source of negative emotions. EFT relieves the symptoms of any emotional disorder with incredible consistency. An imbalance in the energy system of the body is a blockage in the energy flow through the energy meridians. The tapping with fingertips releases blockages, which are formed when you get deeply involved in an emotional disorder. Release of the blockages brings emotions back into balance. The memory of the disturbing circumstances remains but its influence is gone.     

Emotional Freedom Technique is done by tapping certain parts of the body called meridian points with fingertips. These points encourage the energy flow throughout the body that in turn, produces a healthy mind with positive emotions. Not only negative emotions, but some physical diseases like back pains can be treated with this therapy. Therefore, EFT is also offered as a pain relief.

The parts of the body that are tapped with fingertips in EFT include:

- Sides of the thumb
- Below the eyes
- Collar bone
- Along the eyebrows
- Sides of the hands
- Underside the arms
- Below the nose       

Emotional Freedom Technique offers a heap of health benefits like:

- Removal of pain
- Improvement of eating habits
- Improved state of sleep
- Relief from depression and stress
- Disappearance of phobias
- Improved self-esteem
- Loss of excess weight
- Escape from smoke addiction
- Decreased aggression
- Improved vision
- Fast recovery from trauma
- Reduced suffering form disease
- Sports improvement
- Help with traumatic disorders

Emotional Freedom Technique Training and Weight Loss

Emotional Freedom Technique Training is an integral part of many weight loss related programs. EFT tapping lessens your cravings for eating and thus, prevents you from overeating. EFT training for losing weight shapes up the outline of your body and transforms your negative attitude into a positive self-image. Empowered with Emotional Freedom Technique training you can help others in distress. On the strength of this training, you can achieve your goals and make your dreams come true.
