Anxiety
(Click to See Brainwave Entrainment)
I have developed a Tool which records the client's feelings at the start of therapy, the higher the score the greater negativity and time spent in that modality. This enables me to measure the effectiveness of my therapeutic programme in a dynamic and powerful way throughout the process. This is hard evidence that my programme of healing and change really works in a short time frame of 6 weeks. All it takes is full participation in the programme.
The following table is an extract of data from clients with initial issues of stress, anxiety, depression, various addictions including weight issues, IBS, relationship and bereavement issues, as well as work related, lack of confidence and self-esteem, and academic related issues, who completed my 6 week therapy programme between February 2008 and June 2009. The table shows significant improvements in 8 key areas.

The small improvement in 'Thinking about the future' is infact a mixed result, in that many clients report that their thoughts about their future after the 6 week therapy programme is brighter and more positive; whereas the score at the start of therapy was from a negative view point.
Generalised anxiety disorder (or GAD) is characterised by excessive, exaggerated anxiety and worry about everyday life events with no obvious reasons for worry. People with symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder tend to always expect disaster and can't stop worrying about health, money, family, work, or school. In people with GAD, the worry often is unrealistic or out of proportion for the situation. Daily life becomes a constant state of worry, fear, and dread. Eventually, the anxiety so dominates the person's thinking that it interferes with daily functioning, including work, school, social activities, and relationships.
What Are the Symptoms of GAD?
GAD affects the way a person thinks, but the anxiety can lead to physical symptoms, as well. Symptoms of GAD can include:
- Rapid or pounding heart beat
- Chest pain
- Chills or flushes
- Sweating
- Nausea
- Fear of losing control
- Trembling or shaking
- Dizziness
- Breathlessness
- Fear of dying
- Feeling of choking
- Numbness or tingling
- Unrealistic view of problems
- Irritability
- Muscle tension
- Difficulty concentrating
- Tiredness
In addition, people with GAD often have other anxiety disorders such as phobias, depression, and or they abuse alcohol, drugs or have eating disorders.
Feeling anxious is something we all experience at sometime in our life. It is often related to a situation or event that has happened or is going to happen like a forthcoming exam, or job interview, it can be associated with work or relationships. Anxiety can even be caused through lack of confidence and self-esteem. Some level of anxiety or fear is actually important for survival; our bodies will react to situations where it detects there is danger or stress.
This reaction will release hormones into our body such as adrenalin, which will make the heart beat faster and carry blood to parts of the body that need more oxygen, allowing the body to ‘fight or flight’. These changes in the body help protect the person from dangerous situations. These anxieties are short lived because they have a limited time-span. However, due to the way some people interpret their lives … the things that happen to them, circumstances, people … they become anxious about everyday situations and circumstances. This level of anxiety often has long-term consequences, and is detrimental to the health of the individual. The level or reason for the anxiety is an unrealistic interpretation, limiting opportunities, and the potential of the individual.
