<br />
Panic attacks significantly impact the ability to enjoy daily life and for some people, the symptoms of panic disorder can be utterly debilitating. When you are fearful or anxious you are imagining a worrisome outcome or event that you fear will take place. <br />
<br />
The body responds to these thoughts and begins to react as though it were<br />
<a name='more'></a> in a situation of real danger. Hormones are released and the 'fight or flight' response takes over. The body becomes primed to react on a hair trigger to either fight off an enemy or to run away fast. These physical feelings can trigger even more anxious and panicky thoughts in your mind. <br />
<br />
Hypnotherapy can be used to quickly reduce the effects of panic attacks. In most cases hypnosis can eliminate them altogether. Most individuals suffering from anxiety, excessive worry or panic attacks have a vivid and well developed imagination. They can create chaotic thoughts of catastrophic events and outcomes in a matter of minutes. If not controlled, these thoughts change from bad to worse to the point that shear panic sets in! <br />
<br />
Hypnosis can easily help the individual leverage the ability of their imagination and put it to work to replace fearful thoughts with very powerful, helpful positive scenarios and outcomes. Identifying triggers and changing automatic thought patterns stops the vicious cycle of racing thoughts and physical feelings of panic that occur and can spiral into a full blown panic attack or a moment of extreme intense anxiety.<br />
<br />
A qualified hypnotherapist will work with the client to develop a comprehensive strategy to identify the cause and eliminate panic attacks quickly and easily. The hypnotherapist will also teach the client self hypnotherapy techniques to be used in any stressful situation keeping panic attacks at bay. Clients using hypnosis each time feelings of anxiety or panic begin, will in a short time find they are able to feel more relaxed and comfortable and are able to just let go and experience life, trusting they can handle whatever situations come up.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311573652084148678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700444743386570497.post-44521720621500681782010-10-03T17:40:00.000-07:002010-10-03T17:40:06.166-07:00Is Hypnosis Mind Control?<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness during which an individual is able to exert heightened control over sensory modalities through suggestion and imagination. The hypnotist under this definition is not seen as controlling the patient. He is viewed as an educator and guide of the patient's ability to control his own sensory state.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Contrary to a popular belief, people under hypnosis are </span><br />
<a name='more'></a>not captive and spellbound. They can resist direct instructions that are at odds with their wishes, values, religious convictions or moral standards. For this reason, it is not as easy as one might think to make people do things against their will with hypnosis.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Is Hypnosis mind control? No, not from the perspective of the hypnotist controlling your mind, but rather from the understanding that hypnosis places <strong><u>you</u></strong> in control of <em>making positive changes </em>in <strong><u>your life</u></strong>!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311573652084148678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700444743386570497.post-30279125347029847682010-10-03T15:34:00.001-07:002010-10-03T15:37:55.587-07:00Overcoming LonelinessLoneliness is a feeling in which the individual experiences a strong sense of emptiness, worthlessness, unwanted and solitude. Loneliness is not the same as being alone. Being alone can be experienced as positive, pleasurable, and emotionally refreshing if it is under the individual's control. Solitude is the state of being alone and secluded from other people, and often implies having made a conscious choice to be alone. Feelings of loneliness can be described as the absence of identification, understanding or compassion and are experienced even in crowded places. It may also be described as <br />
<a name='more'></a>a yearning for love or companionship, which is unfulfilled, but cannot seemingly be achieved, or may stem from the lack of love in one's life, and hence may lead to emotions such as rejection, despair and low self-esteem. <br />
<br />
Someone who is lonely may find it hard to form strong interpersonal relationships. In fact, a person experiencing the feelings of loneliness may be unable to stop the feeling lonely and behave in ways that maintain isolation; shunning invitations, spending hours on the internet or watching television and sometimes turning to self-destructive behavior such as drugs, alcohol, excessive eating, etc. The rejection of others is essentially rooted in a deep seated fear of rejection causing the person to reject first. This behavior can cause others to respond in kind, confirming the feelings of worthlessness. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.<br />
<br />
Hypnotherapy helps you to remove negative reactions to events of the past that have compounded into the present resulting in the deep seated emotions of loneliness, allowing you to move forward into a brighter future as a more confident and connected individual.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311573652084148678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700444743386570497.post-68280867184764735662010-10-03T12:16:00.000-07:002010-10-03T15:39:08.541-07:00Increase Your Selling Potential Through HypnosisWhy can two sales people working for the same company, selling the same product or service and spending the same amount of time working do not earn the same sales commission? There are, of course, many valid reasons, but the most important reasons are motivation and method.<br />
<br />
A self-started attitude is critical to be successful in sales. Effective sales motivation requires positive self-esteem and self-confidence. When these two qualities are in place, the individual can <br />
<a name='more'></a>prepare for success by establishing a sales method that includes planning and goal setting. Hypnosis is a proven means of enhancing self-esteem and self-confidence, producing the mind-set necessary for true sales success.<br />
<br />
True sales competency is among the highest paid professions in the world. It demands control of self, by the self, an invaluable and achievable asset.<br />
<br />
<strong>Accomplishment and Activity Goals</strong><br />
<br />
There are two types of goals, accomplishment goals and activity goals. Accomplishment goals in a career are decisions about where you want to go in a career. Activity goals include the steps necessary to get there. It is important to understand that accomplishment goals can be nothing more than dreams without activity goals. Successful goal setting requires a deep understanding of step-by-step advancement and subsequent accountability. <br />
<br />
Research of the product or service and the market involved is necessary to establish realistic goals. The research could determine what it would take to generate $50,000 in commissions, for example: how many prospective customers must be contacted to generate the number of prospects needed to meet this goal? This type of research gives the sales person a good roadmap showing the ultimate destination. Once the research is done and the roadmap is clear, activity goals begin and the sales person begins moving toward the ultimate goal. <br />
<br />
<strong>Acquiring the Secret to Sales Success</strong> <br />
<br />
All essentials required for sales success can by acquired through hypnosis. Hypnosis provides a path to deep relaxation allowing the exploration of the inner self to develop an understanding of personal capabilities and potential. It stimulates the motivation and creates the self-esteem and confidence necessary to move forward.<br />
<br />
Persons suffering from low self-esteem due to past failures can regain their sense of self-confidence and achieve the success available to them and build on them. Those lacking motivation can change both habits and attitudes that have prevented them from moving toward the goal.<br />
<br />
Sales persons who, after repeated exposure to sales training courses, do not ever seem to put the training to use or follow guidance from top sales professionals, can come to life and demonstrate highly successful sales techniques through the proven success of hypnotherapy.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311573652084148678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700444743386570497.post-16178170810494462302010-10-03T08:43:00.000-07:002010-10-03T09:24:16.751-07:00I Know I'm Smart ...So Why Can't I Take Tests !?!Testing anxiety is a common obstacle for almost all students, even those who study a lot. Feelings experienced during test taking, such as drawing a blank, inability to focus, or even panic, if not released immediately can compound and have devastating effects over the course of the test. Many students have a difficult time letting go of a hard question or a poor performance on a section. Sometimes, it can even lead to giving up on the test entirely. Timed testing increases a student’s anxiety because they feel they are racing against the clock.<br />
<br />
<br />
The root cause of anxiety is in the subconscious mind not in the conscious mind. Subconscious techniques are especially powerful because<br />
<a name='more'></a> they help relax the body and release negative beliefs that can spiral out of control while taking a test.<br />
<br />
Hypnosis is a technique that goes straight to the subconscious source of our emotions and beliefs. Solving problems subconsciously has a powerful effect on behavior and confidence, replacing negative beliefs with positive ones. A qualified hypnotherapist can teach techniques to clear the mind, reduce stress, and increase focus, thereby curtailing anxiety resulting in improved performance with greater accuracy and speed. Scientific studies also show that relaxation increases awareness and confidence.<br />
<br />
Hypnosis is an invaluable technique for reducing test anxiety. While students cannot have their hypnotherapist sitting next to them as they take the test, they can use self-hypnosis effectively with a little practice. Through the use of hypnosis -whether in a clinical environment or through learned self-hypnosis- you can learn how to learn better, remember more and do your best every time!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09311573652084148678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700444743386570497.post-28224802685343650952010-05-29T18:44:00.000-07:002010-05-29T18:44:52.522-07:00Help For Depression Through HypnosisClinical depression is a medical illness that creates difficulties in coping with daily living. When people are clinically depressed they do not think clearly. They hold a pessimistic view of the future, unrealistic expectations, and are overly harsh and critical of themselves. <br />
<br />
Depression breeds inactivity, mentally and physically, which breeds further depression and a vicious downward spiral. Negative self-suggestions repeated over and over again becomes imprinted in the subconscious mind. Negative thinking becomes a habit that must be changed in order for you to recover from your depression. <br />
<br />
Symptoms of clinical depression can include some or all of the following:<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Low mood, feelings of hopelessness and helplessness, self-deprecation, depleted self-confidence and self-esteem, feeling useless, loss of energy and motivation, and feeling disconnected. <br />
Appetite changes, weight loss or weight gain, difficulties getting out of bed in the morning, dreading the day, looking forward for the day to end, anxiety, agitation, fears, shakiness, mental slowing and dullness, slowed reaction time, and total inefficiency. <br />
Excessive sleepiness and/or an inability to rest, boredom, inability to stay focused and concentrate, memory loss, pessimistic and morbid thoughts, mental perseveration, loss of the desire to socialize, inability to experience simple pleasures in living, and suicidal thoughts. <br />
<br />
<div></div>Clinical depression should be evaluated and treated both medically as well as psychologically—both components are necessary. Medical treatment of clinical depression largely involves the prescription of anti-depressant medications. These drugs can ameliorate the biological/physical and mood symptoms of depression, but they do not treat the underlying psychological factors and negative fixed ideas that need to be addressed. The psychological treatment of depression involves changing the cognitive, behavioral and mood symptoms of the condition. This is where clinical hypnosis can be very helpful. <br />
<br />
Hypnosis is a very effective tool for treating depression. Hypnosis can help the individual move in a positive direction and take steps towards healthier behavioral functioning, lifting and shifting activities affecting mood by:<br />
<ul><li> Changing negative self-suggestions.</li>
<li>Uncovering and re-processing past experiences/memories that trigger depressive reactions. </li>
<li>Eliminating feelings of guilt and self-blame. </li>
<li>Begin making positive choices</li>
