Help Stop Anxiety: Hypnosis To Overcome Anxiety

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

http://www.justbewell.com/help_stop_anxiety_hypnotherapy_nlp_london.html

Anxiety is a word used to describe feelings of uncertainty, hesitation, nervousness or fear and is usually context related.
Before treatment the first question we ask someone who tells us they ‘have anxiety’ is usually, ‘how do you know when to be anxious?’

Some feel anxiety when talking to strangers, some feel anxiety when giving presentations, some get anxiety driving on a motorway. A few will say they get anxious feelings all the time.

Anxiety has a pattern
There is, in our experience, always a pattern to anxiety, it is not random. It is often associated with depression. The way we help stop anxiety is to treat it as a learned behaviour. Indeed, it is said that the only two fears humans are born with are those of loud noises and falling – the rest are learned (albeit unwittingly).

Because the human brain learns so quickly, it is often possible to literally rapidly ‘re-condition’ the learned response of anxiety or depression so that the next time the person is in a situation which previously made them feel bad (anxious), instead they feel more resourceful and capable.

JustBeWell has clinics worldwide, so do get in touch for help.

Depression & Anxiety: There Is Hope

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

If you are suffering with depression or anxiety, or both, I want to let you know that there is Hope!!! This is my personal testimony of how Christ healed me of both. If you are hurting and feel an emptiness inside, I want to let you know Jesus loves YOU and wants to give you peace. I am not saying that medication and Doctors are wrong, quite to the contrary, the medication I was on helped the symptoms of both my anxiety and depression and helped bring me to a level state.

I am just saying that Christ’s love can heal your emptiness and give you a purpose that you have never felt before. If you let Him, He will fill you with true LOVE and peace. To those who are struggling and hurting with this debilitating illness I want you to know that people care, but more importantly Jesus cares!!!

He loves YOU!!!

Panic And Anxiety Disorders – Treatments For / Mental Health Video Documentary

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Panic Disorder – Stories of Hope / Documentary Video; National Institutes of Health; National Institute of Mental Health; Panic Disorder: Stories of Hope
AVA19710VNB1 – 1994; This 19-minute video documentary panic disorder, a serious yet often misunderstood mental illness, is useful for presentations at public and professional seminars and meetings. Introduced by TV personality Willard Scott, who himself has recovered from panic disorder. Producer: National Institutes of Health; Panic Disorder. What is Panic Disorder?; Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms that may include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or abdominal distress. Signs & Symptoms: People with panic disorder have feelings of terror that strike suddenly and repeatedly with no warning. During a panic attack, most likely your heart will pound and you may feel sweaty, weak, faint, or dizzy. Your hands may tingle or feel numb, and you might feel flushed or chilled. You may have nausea, chest pain or smothering sensations, a sense of unreality, or fear of impending doom or loss of control. More about Signs & Symptoms: Treatment: Effective treatments for panic disorder are available, and research is yielding new, improved therapies that can help most people with panic disorder and other anxiety disorders lead productive, fulfilling lives. Panic Disorder is a serious condition that around one out of every 75 people might experience. It usually appears during the teens or early adulthood, and while the exact causes are unclear, there does seem to be a connection with major life transitions that are potentially stressful: graduating from college, getting married, having a first child, and so on. There is also some evidence for a genetic predisposition; if a family member has suffered from panic disorder, you have an increased risk of suffering from it yourself, especially during a time in your life that is particularly stressful. Please remember that only a licensed therapist can diagnose a panic disorder. There are certain signs you may already be aware of, though. One study found that people sometimes see 10 or more doctors before being properly diagnosed, and that only one out of four people with the disorder receive the treatment they need. That’s why it’s important to know what the symptoms are, and to make sure you get the right help. Many people experience occasional panic attacks, and if you have had one or two such attacks, there probably isn’t any reason to worry. The key symptom of panic disorder is the persistent fear of having future panic attacks. If you suffer from repeated (four or more) panic attacks, and especially if you have had a panic attack and are in continued fear of having another, these are signs that you should consider finding a mental health professional who specializes in panic or anxiety disorders. Body: There may be a genetic predisposition to anxiety disorders; some sufferers report that a family member has or had a panic disorder or some other emotional disorder such as depression. Studies with twins have confirmed the possibility of ‘genetic inheritance’ of the disorder. Panic Disorder could also be due to a biological malfunction, although a specific biological marker has yet to be identified. All ethnic groups are vulnerable to panic disorder. For unknown reasons, women are twice as likely to get the disorder as men. Mind: Stressful life events can trigger panic disorders. One association that has been noted is that of a recent loss or separation. Some researchers liken the ‘life stressor’ to a thermostat; that is, when stresses lower your resistance, the underlying physical predisposition kicks in and triggers an attack. Both: Physical and psychological causes of panic disorder work together. Although initially attacks may come out of the blue, eventually the sufferer may actually help bring them on by responding to physical symptoms of an attack. For example, if a person with panic disorder experiences a racing heartbeat caused by drinking coffee, exercising, or taking a certain medication, they might interpret this as a symptom of an attack and , because of their anxiety, actually bring on the attack. On the other hand, coffee, exercise, and certain medications sometimes do, in fact, cause panic attacks. One of the most frustrating things for the panic sufferer is never knowing how to isolate the different triggers of an attack. That’s why the right therapy for panic disorder focuses on all aspects — physical, psychological, and physiological — of the disorder. Creative Commons license: Public Domain

Beating Chronic Anxiety, Depression & PTSD Holistically At Home.

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

The clip is in response to Kyle’s questions posed to me about chronic anxiety and depression.

Start with water, its fundemental to all bodily processes which support clear thinking and balanced emotions. Take sleep seriously, light cycles regulate the primary endocrine pathways governing rest and repair. Stop eating denatured foods, foods stripped of the full nutritional spectrum inherent in unprocessed groceries. De-energize your anxiety by observing and controling your breathing. A single deep steady breath can calm the mind and return you to the present, the NOW moment, eternily. Pay close attention to fear for chronic fear itself is known to slow healing processes.

Half a year ago I had written down some of my negative thoughts on index cards- I thought they could help me in my recovery. Thanks to “xiodao88″ the index cards got their chance to be on Youtube tonight… which worked out well because I didn’t feel much like talking anyway!

I hope you *get* it.
