Coming Out of Depression With Hypnotherapy

Coming Out of Depression

How Hypnotherapy can lift the dark clouds and give you a break from the darkness

Why is it when you are depressed you simply can't see any way out?

Why do things always appear at their worst, even if you know things look better at other times?

The reason is that depression exhausts your brain, and so makes you interpret reality in black or white, extreme and negative ways.

Depression, or 'nervous exhaustion'

Depression is exhaustion brought about by an incredibly stressful or emotional time. Over-worrying and over-analysing, inward-looking negative rumination all cause and maintain depression.

One way to get a quick break from this onslaught is to get deep relaxation. This can give your brain the rest it needs and partially restore your depleted resources. Regular relaxation can help lift depression as part of a wider depression treatment program.

How Hypnotherapy can help with depression

I will conduct a gentle, permissive hypnotherapy session designed to help you feel positive and strong about your future as depression starts to fade from your life.

As you listen, you'll first notice how deeply you relax (depressed people often relax faster and deeper than anyone else because their brain is so in need of it).

Then, you'll start to see things in more optimistic ways, perhaps just a glimmer at first, then more and more as you continue to listen to the session. The cumulative effect of repeated deep relaxation and positive suggestion will help you feel more energised and positive in a more general way.

How Hypnotherapy Can Help You Overcome Insecurity

How Hypnotherapy Can Help You Overcome Insecurity

Insecurity, a ubiquitous human experience, is often a source of distress and discomfort. We all carry insecurities that may originate from varied life experiences or personal perspectives. These insecurities can serve as roadblocks in our path towards personal growth and success. However, there's a lesser-known yet highly effective tool that can help overcome these stumbling blocks: hypnosis.

Hypnosis is a state of focused consciousness that opens the door to the subconscious mind. It's akin to stepping into a powerful control room, the place where our core beliefs, habits, and insecurities reside. By tapping into the subconscious, hypnosis allows us to tackle our insecurities at their very roots.

Insecurity is fundamentally tied to subconscious beliefs and self-perception. For instance, a single embarrassing moment from childhood can embed a deep-rooted belief that you're always the source of laughter. Such beliefs linger in the subconscious, persistently fueling insecurity.

During a hypnotherapy session, as a trained professional I will guide you into a relaxed state. They will communicate directly with your subconscious mind, bypassing the critical conscious mind, which often defends these insecure thoughts.

One significant technique used is positive suggestion. Here, I will replace your insecurities with confidence-boosting statements. If you're insecure about public speaking, for example, I may instill ideas such as "I am a compelling speaker" or "I am comfortable speaking to large groups."

Regression is another commonly used hypnosis technique. This method helps you revisit the origin of your insecurities in a safe environment, thereby helping to reframe those experiences positively. For instance, if your insecurity about your academic capabilities stems from a teacher's harsh comment, regression can help rewrite that narrative.

With repeated sessions, hypnosis can help rewrite the old programming in your subconscious mind, replacing insecurities with positive self-perceptions and beliefs. However, it's important to remember that while hypnosis is a powerful tool, it isn't a magic wand. It requires patience, openness, and commitment to experience the transformation.

While hypnosis is generally safe, it's not recommended for individuals with certain psychiatric conditions or for those who have difficulty distinguishing between reality and imagination.

In conclusion, hypnosis presents a potent method of addressing and overcoming insecurities, transforming the very narrative that holds you back. So, if you've been struggling with insecurities that seem insurmountable, consider giving hypnotherapy a try. You might just unlock the confident version of you that's been waiting to shine.

The Power of Hypnotherapy : A Pathway to Overcoming Anxiety

The Power of Hypnotherapy: A Pathway to Overcoming Anxiety

Anxiety, a common and potentially debilitating condition, can manifest in many forms and affect people differently. When traditional treatment methods are insufficient or simply not a good fit, many seek alternative approaches to manage and alleviate their symptoms. Hypnotherapy has emerged as a noteworthy tool in the fight against anxiety, offering unique methods for managing this condition . Let's explore how hypnosis can aid in overcoming anxiety and the mechanics behind this fascinating process.

Hypnosis, or hypnotherapy, is a state of focused attention and deep relaxation, where the subconscious mind becomes more accessible. In this state, a trained hypnotherapist can offer suggestions to the client's subconscious mind to bring about desired changes in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

When dealing with anxiety, hypnosis can play a transformative role. Anxiety often stems from repetitive patterns of negative thought, which can be deeply ingrained in our subconscious mind. Through hypnotherapy, a client can access these deeply rooted thoughts and learn to reshape them. The process entails teaching patients to handle anxiety-provoking events in their imagination, which can serve as a form of rehearsal for real-life situations.

By altering the underlying neurophysiological states that drive our behaviors, hypnosis allows individuals to transition from a state of stress to a state of calm and relaxation. It helps to instill new, positive thought patterns, replacing the anxious ones that previously dominated the mind. As these new patterns take hold, they can lead to a decrease in anxiety symptoms, helping individuals regain control over their thoughts and feelings.

Hypnotherapy can also be beneficial in uncovering the root cause of anxiety. It's not uncommon for the origins of anxiety to be linked to past events or trauma. With the guidance of a hypnotherapist, clients can safely explore these underlying issues in the secure and controlled environment of a hypnosis session. The hypnotherapist then guides the individual through strategies for releasing and healing these deep-seated emotional wounds.

Despite the promising benefits of hypnotherapy, it's crucial to remember that it's not a magic cure-all. Like any therapeutic intervention, the effectiveness of hypnosis depends on the individual's openness to the process and their commitment to change. Hypnotherapy is most effective when used in conjunction with other treatment methods, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, lifestyle modifications, and regular physical activity.

While anxiety can be challenging to manage, there's hope in the variety of tools available for treatment. Hypnosis offers a unique and powerful approach to overcoming anxiety, promoting a state of calm and relaxation. By accessing and altering our subconscious thoughts, we can pave the way for significant change and lasting relief from anxiety.

5 Surprising Ways Mindfulness Can Improve Your Mental Health

5 Surprising Ways Mindfulness Can Improve Your Mental Health

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed out. That's why many people are turning to mindfulness as a way to improve their mental health. Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and paying attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment. It may seem like a simple concept, but the benefits of mindfulness are numerous and surprising. In this article, we'll explore five surprising ways that mindfulness can improve your mental health. From reducing anxiety to boosting your mood, you might be surprised at just how much mindfulness can do for you. So, take a deep breath, let go of any distractions, and let's dive into the world of mindfulness and mental health.

Mindfulness can reduce anxiety.

One of the most significant benefits of mindfulness is that it can help reduce anxiety. Anxiety can be a debilitating condition that affects many people, and it's often caused by worrying about the future or dwelling on past events. When you practice mindfulness, you learn to focus on the present moment and let go of worrying thoughts. This can help reduce anxiety and improve your overall mental health. Studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can be effective in reducing anxiety symptoms. In one study, participants who practiced mindfulness for eight weeks reported a significant reduction in anxiety compared to those who did not practice mindfulness. Another study found that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) was effective in reducing anxiety symptoms in people with generalized anxiety disorder. If you're struggling with anxiety, consider incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. You can start by practicing simple mindfulness exercises, such as deep breathing or body scan meditation. Over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your life, and your anxiety symptoms decrease.

Mindfulness can improve your mood.

Another surprising benefit of mindfulness is that it can improve your mood. When you practice mindfulness, you learn to be more present in the moment and pay attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This can help you become more aware of negative thought patterns and shift your focus to more positive thoughts. Studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can be effective in improving mood. In one study, participants who practiced mindfulness for four weeks reported a significant improvement in mood compared to those who did not practice mindfulness. Another study found that mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) was effective in preventing relapse in people with recurrent depression. If you're struggling with your mood, consider incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. You can start by practicing simple mindfulness exercises, such as mindful breathing or mindful walking. Over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your life, and your mood improves.

Mindfulness can help you sleep better.

Sleep is essential for good mental health, but many people struggle with getting enough sleep. Mindfulness can help you sleep better by reducing racing thoughts and helping you relax. When you practice mindfulness, you learn to focus on the present moment and let go of worrying thoughts, which can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. Studies have shown that mindfulness can be effective in improving sleep quality. In one study, participants who practiced mindfulness for six weeks reported improved sleep quality and daytime functioning compared to those who did not practice mindfulness. Another study found that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) was effective in improving sleep quality in people with insomnia. If you're struggling with sleep, consider incorporating mindfulness into your bedtime routine. You can start by practicing simple mindfulness exercises, such as mindful breathing or body scan meditation, before bed. Over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your bedtime routine, and you sleep better as a result.

Mindfulness can improve your relationships.

Good relationships are essential for good mental health, but many people struggle with building and maintaining relationships. Mindfulness can help you improve your relationships by improving your communication skills and helping you be more present in your interactions. When you practice mindfulness, you learn to be more aware of your thoughts and feelings, which can help you communicate more effectively. You also learn to be more present in your interactions, which can help you build deeper connections with others. Studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can be effective in improving relationship satisfaction. In one study, couples who participated in a mindfulness-based relationship enhancement program reported improved relationship satisfaction and communication skills compared to those who did not participate. If you're struggling with your relationships, consider incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. You can start by practicing simple mindfulness exercises, such as mindful listening or mindful speaking. Over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your interactions, and your relationships improve as a result.

Mindfulness can increase your resilience.

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, and it's an essential component of good mental health. Mindfulness can help you increase your resilience by improving your ability to cope with stress and adversity. When you practice mindfulness, you learn to be more present in the moment and let go of worrying thoughts. This can help you become more resilient in the face of adversity and bounce back more quickly from setbacks. Studies have shown that mindfulness-based interventions can be effective in increasing resilience. In one study, employees who participated in a mindfulness-based resilience training program reported improved resilience and coping skills compared to those who did not participate. Another study found that mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) was effective in improving resilience in people with chronic pain. If you're struggling with resilience, consider incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. You can start by practicing simple mindfulness exercises, such as mindful breathing or body scan meditation. Over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your life, and your resilience improves as a result.

Conclusion

Mindfulness is a powerful tool for improving your mental health, and the benefits are numerous and surprising. From reducing anxiety to boosting your mood, improving your sleep, relationships, and resilience, mindfulness can help you become more present in the moment and let go of worrying thoughts. If you're struggling with your mental health, consider incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine. It may take some time and practice, but over time, you may find that mindfulness becomes a natural part of your life, and your mental health improves as a result.

Are You Allowing Depression To Take Control Of You?

Depression.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

Are You Allowing Depression To Take Control Of You?

Feeling sad is very normal for human beings. You feel it when you break-up, lost a job or someone dies. After feeling down, you should soon recover from the sadness and move on with your life. Unfortunately not everyone can do this. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, people get sad for long periods of time. This is considered to be depression.

Depression is considered to be a psychological disorder that can be very harmful. Mild cases of depression would make a person cry for no reason and feel inconsolably sad. People, who have extreme depression, find themselves unable to function normally. They stay at home, do not sleep and even refuse to sleep. The worst depression is when you begin contemplating ending your life because you find no reason to be alive.

Some women, after giving birth, feel depressed because of the enormity of their new responsibility and the sudden changes in their lives. In this case, the condition is referred to as post-partum depression. Other people prone to depression are those who have lost someone suddenly, those who have very poor coping mechanism and those who actually find pleasure in feeling depressed.

If you have been feeling sad for no reasons at all, you should speak with a professional to determine whether or not you have an obsessive compulsive disorder. . Many depressed patients, unfortunately, become addicted to medication and find it difficult to feel better without the prescription drug. Basically this can increase your risks of being drug-dependent.

There is another less harmful treatment which involves Hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy works by targeting your subconscious and embedding anti-depression ideas. Since the subconscious actually dictates about 90 percent of the brain’s activity, it is not surprising that hypnotherapy has become effective in treating psychoses like phobias and addiction. Depending on the level of depression, a person can feel its effects after one to five sessions. The treatment is safer, less expensive and less probing.

For people who are depressed, you should first admit that you have the disorder for the treatments to be effective. You should also make sure that your commitment does not waiver. Life is too short and too beautiful to be sad all the time. By getting help, you are giving yourself a new lease in life. It will also free you permanently from depression’s bad effects.

How Hypnotherapy Helps With Stress And Anxiety

anxiety.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

How Hypnotherapy Helps With Stress And Anxiety

Stress can be defined as a state we experience when there is a mismatch between perceived demands and our perceived ability to cope. Stress can also be defined as an adaptive response by a body to change in the environment.

Stress response evolved to enable humans to deal with life-threatening dangers or stressors such as being confronted with a wild animal or perhaps a hostile human. Situations like this required action – the activation of stress response to wither stay and fight or to run away.

Today we hopefully won’t have to face the same dangers as our ancestors but the stress response to demanding situations we face is still with us and our mind and body still prepare for fight or flight when confronted with this equivalent of the wild animal. This is where the problem may begin as activation of the fight or flight response with no physical outlet, such as if we are stuck in a traffic jam and can’t fight it or flee it, or maybe an unfair confrontation in the workplace where once again the response for action may be triggered but we cant vent it by fighting or running away without consequences we would rather avoid. Perhaps both of these events and more are experienced on the same day, perhaps every day, and the stress builds within us until it can damage our health if a solution is not found

Stress isn’t always bad – the stress response was designed to help and protect us and some people even place themselves in stressful situations they know they can handle for excitement and ‘the rush’ as it is often called.

We all experience stress in different ways depending upon our personality type, conditioning and possible training also.

When we face a stressor but perceive we have the ability to deal with it successfully a feeling of success and achievement can be gained. Getting the balance right between good stress to motivate us and encourage us to grow, and our ability to cope with the stress is possibly the key to remaining healthy, positive and active in whatever arena of life we find ourselves.

Our ability to cope with stress can be affected by our diet and the intake of good substances that out body needs to remain strong and flexible and to repair itself when needed. Also we should avoid anything that could cause us to be more stressed or weaker such as drugs, alcohol, smoking etc.

Finally, stress can be external, some event or situation that is causing stress, or internal, attitudes or emotions that lead to stress (anxiety, guilt, low self esteem, fear, etc).

What is the Fight/Flight Response? Why do we still have it?

The ‘Fight or Flight Response’ is a physiological reaction and is the body’s response to a stressor.

Changes in hormones prepare a person to either stay and deal with a stressor or to take flight/run away. This immediate state of alarm is when the body prepares to take action, and in this state a person will be extremely alert to their surroundings but also very anxious and possibly unable to concentrate.

The body will slow down systems not vital in responding to the stressor, such as the digestive system, which is why a person in a fight or flight situation may have a dry mouth and a nervous/upset stomach. The body will make other preparations such as improved cooling for the body as more energy is used and this will result in perspiration.

The fight or flight response is a very old and very basic response and has been with us for a very long time. It was originally a response to danger that would prepare our ancestors to fight the wild beast or the enemy who might suddenly threaten or confront them, or to take flight and literally run away from the danger.

This response is triggered when we send a message of alarm to a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. This area of the brain will then send a signal to the glands to release adrenaline, cortisol and endorphin into the blood stream. Increased levels of adrenaline increase heart rate and blood flow which in turn brings extra oxygen and glucose to the muscles. Cortisol causes an increase in amino-acids and sugars in the blood. Amino-acids are crucial for the repair and recovery of damaged tissues which may occur under stress and the blood sugar adds to the availability of glucose (fuel) for the body.

The release of endorphin, which is a morphine like substance only more powerful, provides the body’s natural tranquilizing system. Pain is blocked and a feeling of euphoria may be experienced, both helping to get the body through the situation it may find itself in due to stress.

We still have this response, as it is still necessary to prepare and protect us in times of alarm, such as being involved in an emergency situation of any kind, or being confronted with any form of potentially life threatening danger.

Once the initial stages of this fight or flight response are over, a person will have a psychological reaction to the stressor which will be based upon many variables including, personality type, conditioning, age, physical and mental ability, and their knowledge relevant to the situation to be dealt with.

It is very often the resulting symptoms of this fight or flight response kicking in that we tend to call a panic attack. what actually happens is that we may be in a situation where we can’t fight or flight, such as a meeting or on a train, and so we become more and more anxious and may feel as though we will pass out, or be sick, or any one of a number of responses. What often happens then,is we find we have a desperate need to urinate, and that is another way the subconscious mind will sometimes attempt to gain our attention and force us to leave the arena in which we find ourselves at the time. It is normally the feeling of not being able to escape, and knowing that we might have this strong feeling to fight or flight that causes much of the anxiety and expectation of problems for most people who find they need help to overcome their problem.

Also, many people….no…that should be most people who suffer from panic attacks and anxiety will normally have the need for some Obsessive compulsive actions in their life…it can often be a type of coping, or controlling strategy.

Why hypnotherapy is totally different from any other form of therapy?

Hypnotherapy is different from any other form of therapy because of the way in which the therapy part happens while one is in hypnosis. Put another way, hypnotherapy is a very effective combination of hypnosis, a trance or altered state of mind and deep relaxation, and the chosen therapy, which might be for example; suggestion therapy, regression, ego states therapy, neuro-linguistic-programming or hypnoanalysis.

Hypnosis allows an individual to enter a state of deep relaxation which in itself is a very useful therapy for combating stress. It also allows one to become calm and focused, as all parts of the mind work together and concentrate on solving the problem at hand, and therefore making the very best use of the chosen therapy as it is applied.

Why it is so helpful in cases of stress, anxiety and panic attacks?

Hypnosis is a state in which the conscious critical faculty is temporarily suspended or distracted and in which all parts of the mind work in harmony for the good of the whole being.

When in hypnosis an individual can become very relaxed and at the same time very aware and ‘sharp’, mentally focused.

For the computer literate, I would liken hypnosis to the ‘safe mode’ on a computer, where if a part of the system is acting up or malfunctioning, placing the system in safe mode allows for investigation and repair to be carried out safely while minimising the risk to the normal operating systems. In some sports it would be like a ‘time-out’, where all parts of the team come together briefly to review the current state of play, to identify where poor choices may have affected the outcomes and to choose a new strategy to move forward with.

In the normal hurly burly of life we seldom have time to take a time out, or to go into safe mode to pull together our resources and to calmly take stock and plan our best way forward. Hypnosis then, is a safe, relaxing state in which we can let go the tensions in and around us for a short period, and in which, if we desire it, a skilled therapist can guide us through the stages of investigation, discovery, planning and repair we may need.

Hypnotherapy therefore provides relaxation (and clients of good therapists learn self-hypnosis so they can find this deep relaxation for themselves) and is therefore useful at even this basic level, as a kind of first aid. The good therapist will help the client to find any repressed emotions, triggers and false instincts from the past that are a kind of out-of-date, erroneous, or maybe just no longer wanted or needed programming, that loops around once triggered to cause us much anxiety and feelings of panic, but we often don’t know why. Following this, the wonderful power of hypnotic suggestion, and Neuro-Linguistic programming techniques will be used to provide new and efficient programming to support moves forward into a much more positive life with a better outlook on everything..

How Can You Motivate Yourself To Make Tomorrow Great

motivation.png with kimberley stapleton mind body soul spirit

How Can You Motivate Yourself To Make Tomorrow Great

Get your unconscious mind locked onto your goals and set your expectations for tomorrow's achievement.

Can you make tomorrow great even when today's been lousy?

Do you know how to set your expectations to influence your experience?

People are always exhorting us to have a nice day, a great day. So much so, that it even gets annoying. Particularly if you're having a rather crummy day when they say it. And what sort of advice is that, anyway? How are you supposed to follow it? What are you supposed to do to make your day great? Or even just 'nice'? It's not as if you have any control over what comes your way, is it?

Well.

You may have more control than you realise!

To make tomorrow great, you need more than a good forecast

We tend to think of our 'moods', the way we feel about ourselves and our lives today, as being something like the weather. You can get to recognise 'weather fronts' and understand something of how 'weather systems' work, so that you can have some idea of what's coming. But what's coming is coming, and all you can hope for is some advance warning. Which is handy if a hurricane is on its way.

But moods are not like weather. We can do far more than just prepare for them. We can shape them and direct them, encouraging more of one type of mood and less of another. Learning to do this doesn't guarantee everything in life will go your way and you'll never have another horrid day. But it does mean that you'll be likely to have far more 'great days' -and be a great deal better able to survive the 'not so great days'.

So how do you do it?

Hypnotherapy can help you quickly develop a positive mindset

It focuses specifically on using hypnotic techniques to develop the inner control that regulates your emotional responses and aligns them with your true best interests.

As you relax and listen in your session you'll notice a number of profound changes taking place -

💜 you become adept at relaxing deeply and entering a focused trance state

💚 you identify and connect deeply with the significant personal qualities that epitomize how you want to be

💜 as these qualities pervade your inner world more and more powerfully, your outer life starts to change in response

💚 you find you are much better able to maintain an 'even keel', no matter what is happening around you

💜 you enjoy life so much more, so much more often

If you feel close to having a nervous breakdown right now you are probably feeling like you have hit rock bottom.

Many people who are close to a nervous breakdown feel a million miles from their real self.

Feelings of anger, negativity, exhaustion and anxiety are probably overwhelming you and your ability to lead a 'normal' life and have 'normal' relationships is no doubt proving tough.

The right approach can help quickly

Nervous breakdowns tend to happen due to a demanding lifestyle, stress, or as a result of dealing with trauma. Stress and anxiety can often lead to depression and feelings of being unable to cope.

You may feel at the moment that everything is a struggle and there is nothing positive in your life. However, treating a breakdown in the right way will allow you to come out the 'other side' of this an even better person.

Here's how I can help you…..

Relaxation is the key to recovery

Stopping for a while and taking time to relax when you feel things are getting too much will gradually allow your body and mind to start to feel refreshed and re-energised again. Regular relaxation will also help 'reset' your sleeping patterns which will help reduce your stress levels greatly.

A Hypnotherapy session will quickly make you feel calmer and happier, getting you back to the 'real you'. Being relaxed and knowing how to cope with stress and challenging situations will allow you to approach the future in a calmer and more confident way.

Getting back to the 'real' you

You can just imagine yourself now with the feeling of this renewed energy and confidence. With this, you will begin to enjoy those little things in life such as meeting up with a friend for a coffee, going shopping or spending time with your family; just like you used to.

When you feel more relaxed you will also be able to put up boundaries and set yourself limits so you don't have to deal with a breakdown again. As you start to feel calmer, things you currently find difficult to do will slowly become easier.

Just remember that right now you have just gone off track slightly and you just need to stop for a while to return back to the 'real you'. With this rest and revitalisation you will begin to see a brighter future.

After a session with me you will notice how quickly life regains its color. 

Important: A nervous breakdown is a serious condition. Hypnotherapy is designed to supplement, not replace, treatment from a suitable medical practitioner.

Need Help Coping With Anxiety At This Time Of Year ?

Most People Refuse to Acknowledge Their Anxieties

Hey, let's face it, we all like to put up a face around people we care about or respect. At the very least, we have some sort of public face that we try to maintain.

What is this public face? Well, we want people to think that we're strong. We want to give people the impression that we have our acts together. We don't want them to see our weaknesses.

We really are often embarrassed by a public display of shortcomings or other features that we think will make us look bad. This is why we put up with appearances.

We know, deep down inside that, most of the time, we can't trust appearances. People who seem to have the perfect families, the perfect careers, or the perfect lives are actually going through a tough time. But, since we maintain this public face, most people are simply left with the surface impression that everything is going well.

Here's the thing. You can get so caught up in the public appearance that you're putting up that you end up playing seriously damaging games with yourself. One of the worst things that you can do is to be in denial about your anxieties.

Now, let's get one thing clear. Everybody's got anxieties. We all have fears about the past. We have regrets, guilt and other negative emotions about things that have happened in the past.

We also have issues about the future. Sure, these things have not yet happened, but despite that fact, we can't help but worry about them.

We would like to gain some measure of control over our lives. And sadly, too many of us try to do this by simply trying to worry ourselves into some semblance of control.

Well, just as we can't control what happened in the past, we can't control the things that have yet to happen. And that's why, unfortunately, a lot of people struggle with anxiety. It can easily get out of hand.

While it's almost normal to assume that a certain level of worry is fine, it's very easy to overstep our bounds. It's really hard to find that thin line between "healthy worries" and obsessive anxieties that wear us down and pollute our relationships.

Given this background, it is no surprise that a lot of people refuse to acknowledge their anxieties. As far as the world is concerned, they're living perfect lives or something close to it. That's the public appearance they want to give.

And before you know it, they start believing their own press. They start believing the image that they portray to the rest of the world and that's why they are terribly surprised when they figure out that they have these anxieties that are eating them from within. Are you one of these people?

Well, the good news is that there is a solution to anxiety , I am, of course, talking about changing your belief system.

The best part to all of this is that you yourself trigger the changes. By simply working with how you currently process reality, you can get out from under the crushing weight of anxiety.
