ADDICTED TO OVER THE COUNTER PAINKILLERS AND HOW ANXIETY HYPNOSIS CAN HELP.

 

Are you addicted to over the counter pain killers?

 

Am I Addicted to Pain Killers?

addiction_is_addiction_The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis in Birmingham & WalsallThe addiction may start as an innocent part of you wanting to get better following a bout of pain, such as surgery, giving birth or having an accident. This may start as prescription drugs but then you get used to the so called good (euphoric) feeling that you get, also known as a (buzz) feeling.

We are by nature an addictive being, as everything we do is repetition. As people know this, repetition will by its act bring on an addiction. This is true if the feelings we get satisfy us, such as the drugs, particularly if they are helping to control your pain.

You might recognise other addiction type behaviours in you or people around you. Theses could be an addiction to Facebook, Gaming Consoles, Constant Texting, Drinking, Sweet or Savoury Foods, Gambling, Smoking, Drugs, Workaholic, and many more…

The Painkillers and You…

Over the counter addiction pain killers can include: Co-Codamol, Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, Nurofen, and of course any drug with an Opiate content.

Once you have the relief from taking the painkillers and they have succeeded in controlling your pain, you still insist in taking them and then you begin to recognise that you have a problem. But you still insist that you don’t. This will lead to a multitude of covert behaviours.

These behaviours can take the form of taking the drugs when you know you don’t require them. You take more than the prescribed dose, by taking a higher dose of pills each time or more pills overall. Recognising that you now lie about your painkillers and you hide that fact. You go to different pharmacy’s, or when different staff are on duty, or you get others to go on your behalf or you start to steal them.

What can I do about this?

If you are at this point, then you know that you need intervention, to have drug rehabilitation for this.

You have to open up the lines of communication to immediate family, so long as you feel that the family are strong enough to help and support you.

You then need to contact your doctor or contact a drug addiction support centre.

Once you have started to readjust your outlook on how to conquer this, because your not a bad person and this isn’t something you planned. This problem started possibly as a bi product to you just wanting to stop the pain that you had.

The best way is to search on line and get the low-down on help offered near you.

What Next.

Once you have recognised that you want help then seek help via the internet, or your GP. If this is to do with pain, then one of the best ways to control your pain in to have hypnotherapy for pain control. Hypnotherapy in this area is quiet effective and of course you are going to be drug free.

Not everyone will be aware that hypnosis can offer such benefits to be pain free, via using the techniques, you can learn that hypnosis can help you manage and reduce your pain.

You may also wish to visit a hypnotherapist who deals with drug addiction as this too can be beneficial to you by helping you to be drug free from painkillers.

You can use alternative treatment to help you while coming off your drugs as this will depend on how many and how addicted you are and if you have an addictive personality.

Anxiety Hypnosis.

Anxiety Hypnosis is here to help, don’t leave it to late because you can receive pain management via hypnosis to help reduce the pain you have being going through. So long as there isn’t any medical reason as to why you shouldn’t be able to be free of your pain.

The help of relaxing the muscles around the pain area is where hypnotherapy works best. But therapy can be used in many ways to help reduce the discomfort.

When seeking treatment, make sure the therapist will access you for the likelihood that they can help with your particular pain management problem.

The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis is here to help with pain problems that you may be having whether this is from a bad back or stiff neck etc… Contact me to find out if I can help, I am available in the Walsall and Birmingham areas. I will also offer referrals if this would be of help to you?

To Sum Up.

Recognise that you have a problem and family members can keep an eye out and check bins for empty packs etc…

Get yourself to the doctors and ask what the long care health plan is for you. Also gather information on the damages and side effects of what drugs you are taking and acknowledge how your present actions are effecting the family and relationships, especially of your partner…

Open up communications and confide in someone who you feel you can trust that can offer advice. This could be a best friend, your nan/granddad or anyone else you may feel that would just give you that reassurity to get you well on your way and off the painkillers .

Notice with the benefit of Painkillers that overdosing on them can have the adverse effect and make you very sick and possible death. it’s not to late to make a change today.

                    …So good luck and you’ll do it!

Panic & Anxiety of EMPTY NEST SYNDROME

,

EMPTY NEST SYNDROME

Are you struggling with your eldest child leaving for university…

What is Empty Nest Syndrome?

Bags packed for university , Anxiety Hypnosis The Nexus Team can help Empty Nest Syndrome is a time when a child leaves the home to move away to university. This can be a heart wrenching time for both parents but especially for the mother. The shock of you being around your child for 18 years and now they have moved out can leave you feeling empty inside.

Although no one has died the same symptoms of grief and heartache are very much felt particularly within a loving family.

This is in every way a new chapter in life, how everyone has to adjust to the new challenges that life has brought you.

The Feeling of Grief.

There is a bag of mixed feelings surrounding the whole situation of what is happening. On one part you have to be happy that they are doing well and thriving, as well as being educated in their chosen field of knowledge. Of course with this double edged sword, you have the negative emotion that just seems to overwhelm the positives especially to begin with.

The feeling of loss and the emptiness in the house at certain times and the things you shared has this could be a time when you no longer have your child’s friends coming around either.

What Can You Do About It…

If you have experienced grief before, then you will recognise the similarity in the emotional feelings. It’s not good to hold onto the negative feelings, as indeed men (fathers) may do. Feeling like an emotional wreck right now, may feel like you’ll never get rid of this.

I think that you should give yourself permission to cry, and parents should be encouraged to express this together if their relationship can do this. This isn’t about a weakness but recognising that you are both feeling the same and this can be your strength. Although one part of the relationship may feel stronger and keep a sense of reality and calmness within the house hold.

Never feel bad about how you feel even though you think that it’s silly as this emotion needs to come out of you so that the healing can take place. It’s okay to avoid the negativity for a while as you don’t want to burst into tears while in the shops.

Your Time To Change.

You have the opportunity to rediscover yourself, but this may be hard as you have probably been at the beck and call for the family for many years. It is important that you have new challenges in your life, this will have to be your calling so to speak as everyone is different and you have to do what feels right.

You don’t have to have a a knee jerk reaction to doing whatever comes along. This could be joining a group with like minded interests. You can even start one of your own. There is an App called ‘meet-up’ as this can also be a way of you getting over your fears of either going out or being allowed to learn how to be you once more.

Anxious Times Ahead!

This can be an understatement of how you feel right now. Once you get over the initial shock and time moves on you will soon realise how time distortion kicks in and before you know it, they are on their way back home and you will be wondering why you felt the way you did.

In the meantime however, as all the new students at Birmingham University and of course the many universities around the country, students are all equally leaving grief stricken parents everywhere. Your kids are possibly feeling the same way, but they have new surrounding and new interests and certainly their new found freedom. So these kids are distracted to say the least, while you are at home crying your eyes out.

This is all natural, but this still leaves you feeling anxious because of wondering if they are okay and not getting into trouble etc…

Anxiety Hypnosis.

As I have mentioned that anxiety, fear, stress and grief play a major part in the overall well-being of you, that said if you don’t deal with this, then you too will suffer. It is documented that mothers particularly can get breast cancer and even brain legends** or scaring on the brain because of the child leaving home for the first time. Of course kids can leave home many times, if they are in a career that calls them away for months at-a-time.

You may feel like you only want to talk about how you feel and that’s okay, also you may want to try hypnosis to get a better understanding of yourself. This could be to help you find confidence to go out and face the world as a new you.

The Nexus Team can also offer EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) ,this is a great way to help get your brain and especially your mind to cope better with the present situation. This also helps people with that grief feeling.
Anxiety Hypnosis also helps you by allowing the mind to readjust to the new immediate difficulties and help get you away from feeling like an emotional wreck. But you don’t have to feel at your worst to see me as you can have a free complimentary consultation to be accessed to see whether you would benefit from my help.

Help is Here.

If you need or require some help with either talk therapy or hypnotherapy to help you with how you are feeling right now and you live in and around the Birmingham area of Walsall etc. then contact The Nexus Team.

Give me a call to find out more, also I will help you every step of the way to help you with your recovery by helping you feel calm and confident. Helping to get you back in control, or contact me to help you with your particular situation and I will answer any questions you have.
Until then you can download my free 7 tips on how to Axe-Anxiety. Click HERE. Also get talking to family and friends to help put yourself at ease and soon everything will start to ease.

To Sum up.

Congratulate yourself for getting your child to be able to get into university and this is what you have all been working towards. Also that they are probably having a good time and this is a time when we all have mobiles and can easily stay in touch also with social media. Feel sad and cry if you need to, but don’t stay there and move forward. This was bound to happen but notice that it will become less traumatic each day and the rawness will fade. Above all don’t be to hard on yourself as you might have other children who need you attention more then ever now.

The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis offers a range of therapies that can suit you as not everyone wants to be hypnotised..

CLAUSTROPHOBIA: Suffers in Birmingham & Walsall Anxiety Hypnosis

,

CLAUSTROPHOBIA AND HOW TO OVERCOME IT

The fear of small spaces

lift CLAUSTROPHOBIA SUFFERS IN BIRMINGHAM & WALSALL ANXIETY HYPNOSISClaustrophobia, or to use its common name, the fear of small spaces, is an anxiety related disorder that often brings on panic attacks when an individual finds themselves in an enclosed or confined space such as an elevator, train, aircraft or even a small room. The fear usually stems from the affected individual believing that they cannot escape or “get out” from an enclosed or suffocating situation. Like most other fears or phobias, claustrophobia normally develops due to a previous experience in the sufferers’ earlier life, usually a trauma or life-threatening situation.

Surprisingly for some, claustrophobia can also be experienced in open spaces. This occurs when the sufferer is part of a large crowd or gathering and again, feels that they are unable to escape from the crowd and find their own space once again. This can occur in places such as concerts, or even inside a packed cinema.

Sufferers are normally aware that their fear is irrational, but when faced with a sudden or unexpected situation where they feel they cannot escape, they usually enter a state of panic and the fear overcomes their normal rationality.

Common Symptoms

When an enclosed space situation arises around an affected individual, the following symptoms are common:
Heavy sweating
The fear of physical or actual harm
Shaking of the limbs
Increased heart rate
Dizziness (light – headedness)
Nausea
Difficulty in breathing

Often, when an individual realizes that they suffer from claustrophobia, the symptoms can seem worse and also arise more often. The individual tends to avoid more and more areas where they feel that an enclosed situation may occur and the subsequent anticipation of a panic attack actually increases their anxiety and heightens their fears.

What can I do to overcome and manage my fear of small spaces?

The treatment of claustrophobia is very similar to that of other anxiety related fears and phobias. As claustrophobia is almost always a learned response to an enclosed space situation, it can also be un-learned just as effectively. Anxiety Hypnosis is by far the best and most successful way to control your claustrophobia and through using Anxiety Hypnosis you can not only learn to manage this fear but overcome it completely.

The Nexus Team Hypnotherapy (Anxiety Hypnosis) have been helping clients from Birmingham, Walsall and the surrounding areas, overcome claustrophobia and their fears of small spaces for many years, all in safe and comfortable surroundings.

What can I do next?

If claustrophobia has taken control of your life or the fear of small spaces is effecting the way you go about your daily schedule, then there is no better time than now to take your life back! Contact me directly at The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis and with my help and backup assistance, you can once again enjoy the freedom of life that you deserve.

Realise that therapy is a way of uncovering any conflicts that you may have had in the past or feel that you have dealt with, but to your unconscious you really haven’t dealt with them. I will help you to regain control by helping you to use your inner strength to be able to go out and explore the world once more, just as you were meant to live.

ANXIETY HYPNOSIS OVERCOMING SOCIAL ANXIETY!

 

OVERCOMING SOCIAL ANXIETY!

So you have social anxiety – what can you do about it…

What is social anxiety?

light bulb & peopleWhen we think of social anxiety, we often think about different social situations that make us feel shy, self-conscious or uncomfortable. The most common example of this is the feeling of being “out of place” or “awkward” at a party or family gathering. However, there is a big difference between feeling awkward at a party and having a deep rooted feeling of despair, anxiety or panic when in the company of other people.

Not many people enjoy receiving criticism, judgement or even a compliment from others, but for some, the fear of receiving such judgements can lead to paranoia, extreme discomfort and panic attacks. In some cases, individuals have had to leave their jobs, school or colleges in order to deal with their social anxiety and in extreme cases, even limit their time out in public for fear of an anxiety panic attack!

If you have reached a level where you think that social anxiety is affecting your life, then the time to act is now! With The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis. Download my free Axe-Anxiety

Common Symptoms…

There are many symptoms of social anxiety and as with every other phobia, they vary in severity depending on the level of anxiety you are feeling.

When a sufferer of social anxiety finds themselves in a social situation that they are not comfortable in, they often experience the following:

Heavy sweating and/or blushing
Nausea
Shaking of the limbs
Nervous stuttering or stammering during conversation
Drying of the mouth
Shortness of breath
Weakness of the body
Sufferers also try to avoid any form of eye contact and make it difficult for themselves to be noticed or approached. For social anxiety sufferers, speaking in public is an almost impossible task.

What can I do to overcome, managing my social anxiety?

For the most part, social anxiety normally has a root cause. This is often a deep lying sub-conscious condition such as a previous embarrassment or traumatic life event which may have shattered your confidence, broken your trust or completely cooled your interest in the people, or in the world around you. Anxiety Hypnosis has been proven to be extremely successful in the area of overcoming social fears and allows you to analyse and understand your sub-conscious thought patterns, leading you to fully overcome any issues you may have, not just cover them up.

You may not think this would apply to you, but I can assure you at sometime in the future you will have to do some public speaking. This could be thanking people at a wedding, christening, birthday, anniversary or any other social event you can think of. So think of receiving Anxiety Hypnosis as an investment in not only now but also your future as this is a very important step to take right now.

Anxiety Hypnosis Helping you To Conquer The Fear Of Spiders

Following on with the how to conquer the fear of spiders

…The Sequel…

Rational thinking v Irrational thinking…

The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis helping you to conquer the fear of spidersWhen faced with one of your worst fears such as spiders then before you get to the stage of total panic, it would help to deal with your phobia in a rational manner.

Lets get this sorted by thinking about your fear in a much more rational way, so when the time comes, being face to face with your worst enemy, you’ll have the confidence to be calm and not let it bother you.

Irrational Thinking.

If you have a real fear of spiders then you don’t need me to tell you how you feel as this was also in my last blog.
The brain working irrationally, hasn’t the power of cognitive thought to be able to deal with this problem, and so this has to be addressed at the conscious cognitive level of rational thinking.
You have to realise that you cannot overcome the fear using irrational thinking to solve your fear of spiders. This has to be done using rational thinking and in the next chapter I will tell you what you have to do.
The only issue is that you have to use your mind to do this. Not simply to just get on and do as the words that I will convey to you, that will have to be processed by your new thinking patterns.

Rational Thinking.

Firstly with rationality what are you actually fearful of? Irrational thinking will just say the ‘spider’ but think more deeply and you’ll start to know what the problem actually is…

All fears will go once you understand them, I will give you an example of when we use the statement ‘I don’t like him’. What is it specifically about that person? Lets face it that we can have a dislike of someone just by the colour of their skin or sexual orientation because of our support of a bias nature.

1. I don’t like their attitude.
2. I don’t like how they talk.
3. I don’t like their style of clothes
4. I don’t like how they smell.
5. I don’t like their politics.
6. I don’t like who they support.

This list could go on, but once you know specifically what your prejudices are you can work to correct them because it is you with the problem, fear, phobia, and dislike.
This attitude will manifest towards many things in your life and that can be a negative, poisonous way to think and live.

Now what is it that you don’t like about a spider?

1. Is it the size?
2. It it their speed?
3. Is it their shape?
4. Is it how they make you feel?
5. Is it because they hide?
6. Is it the eyes?

Again this list could go on, but once you narrow this down you only have to deal with what is your particular issue and not the whole spider.

I Like Spiders.

I like spiders because…

I would like you to write down 30 words of what you would like about a spider. You might even say that you like Spider-Man and so you become your own hero and conquer the fear once and for all.

Once you start to reprogrammed your mind on thinking differently about spiders you will start to eradicate the negativity and so feel more in control with spiders. At this point and this should go without saying, it is important that you don’t kill them as all life is precious, also this would undo the aim of getting you fearless and not to be a killer.

Who do you know is an Arachnophile.

Or spider lover…

You can talk to those who don’t mind spiders and see what they have to say on the subject or start your own research on YouTube etc and get to know as much as you can about spiders.
Realising that you want to change, then for that to happen you have to gain knowledge.
Think of it like this if it helps. … You start a new job in a new place and you don’t know everyone’s name or the order of how things are done and what times events take place or the type of people you’ll be working with.
So you feel anxious, nervous and stressed out. But give it a week or so and you know the route and the dynamics of the style of people you work with and now you don’t feel anxious or stressed out and you are happy to go to work. Well this what will happen once you understand the dynamics of spiders.

What to do next…

living in the UK we don’t get really big spiders especially in the Birmingham area etc.
but if you have tried to get over your fear and still haven’t managed it. I can be of help with Anxiety Hypnosis because I have techniques that work on phobias to help reprogram your thinking and so dispel the negative charge you have towards a fear of spiders.
So if you want confidence in managing this by being rational when in the presence of a spider, I can help you accomplish that and it may only take you two or three sessions.

But all that said give this ago with rational positive thinking and if you can find more reasons to like spiders or indeed any insect, please let me know.
Good luck and enjoy your spider free life from The Nexus Team at Anxiety Hypnosis.

Conquer fear of spiders in Birmingham & Walsall-Anxiety Hypnosis

FINDING THE CURE FOR ARACHNOPHOBIA (THE FEAR OF SPIDERS)!

What is Arachnophobia?

Conquering the Fear of Spiders with The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis in Walsall & Birmingham.Arachnophobia, or the fear of spiders as it’s more commonly known, can be an extremely troubling phobia but on the other hand, fairly simple to resolve. The reactions brought on by the phobia itself can range drastically according to its severity, with light sufferers simply not having a strong dislike to the creepy, long-legged look of the spider to the most severe cases which can cause the affected individual to experience panic or anxiety attacks whenever they see, or even think they see a spider.
Whilst it is true that the majority of people in the UK and around the world feel uncomfortable whilst near or in the presence of a spider, the reaction from an arachnophobic when seeing or thinking about a spider can be very extreme. As with other similar phobias, the fear of spiders is often a sub-conscious fear, making the use of The Nexus Team’s Anxiety Hypnosis is the best way to banish this fear once and for all.
The fear of spiders often feels irrational to us, especially for those individuals residing in the United Kingdom, as we already know that there is not one species of spider that could actually cause us harm.

Common Symptoms

The Symptoms of arachnophobia are fairly consistent with general panic attacks and anxiety. A sufferer may experience the following upon encountering or thinking deeply about spiders;

Rapid Heart Rate
Nausea
Shortness Of Breath
Shaking Limbs
Dizziness

In extreme cases, individuals may not even venture into certain areas of their home or general outdoor areas in fear of encountering a spider. You may even find that an individual becomes obsessed with searching their home, especially the bedroom area at night, in order for them to sleep soundly.

What can I do to overcome and manage my fear of spiders?

As with most phobias and fears, simply managing your fear of spiders is not a long term solution to the problem and still leaves you wondering if and when the fear will return. The most successful, easiest and long-term solution for completely overcoming your fear is to use Anxiety Hypnosis.

Conquering Job Interview Nerves.

JOB INTERVIEW NERVES

The Nexus Team Anxiety Hypnosis conquering job and career nerves Birmingham Walsall

Every single individual on earth experiences an “attack of the nerves” at some point in their life. Maybe you’re asking someone out on a date, have an important sports game coming up or you may even have a dreaded job interview on the horizon. At a job interview, a sudden attack of nerves or anxiety could potentially lose you the job. However, with simple treatments from me and the Anxiety Hypnosis specialist with The Nexus Team Hypnotherapy in Birmingham and Walsall, you can take control of your anxiety and banish your interview nerves for good.

How can I control my nerves and anxiety during a job interview?

There are also a few practices that you can follow to help control your pre-interview nerves and ensure that your interview goes as smoothly and successfully as possible: STOP your Stressing right now!

Forward Planning…

This seems like a simple thing to do right? Well, too often than not, job applicants enter the interview with little or no preparation and simply rely on their resume or personality to get them through the interview. This is fine if you are an individual who is full of confidence, but if you are susceptible to bouts of nervousness or anxiety attacks, a lack of preparation could be crucial. Make sure that you have gone through the interview in your head, over and over again for a few days before the interview. Practice the most common interview questions with a friend or family member and polish your answers. You can even practice in your interview clothing to make it seem even more realistic. Do thins with more than one person and even set up 3 or 4 people playing devils advocate. If you know of someone who does interviewing in their job, you may like them to test you out! Practice makes perfect, so to speak…

Pre-interview relaxation…

In the hours leading up to your interview, try to put yourself in a relaxed mood by doing something that makes you feel comfortable and at ease. This could be inviting a friend over for some green tea and chat, having a soothing massage or even listening to your favorite music in the comfort of your own home. Laughter is also a great relaxant, so stick on a funny movie or comedy show to help disperse your nervous thoughts.

Be open and honest…

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to try to cover up your nervousness or anxiety to your potential employer. This can cause you to lose focus in your interview and concentrate more on hiding your emotions than connecting to the interviewer. Remember, it is perfectly normal to be nervous at a job interview and your potential employer will usually understand that this as part of the interview process. At the beginning of the interview you can say “I apologize, I am feeling a little nervous today” or “It has been a while since I was last in this position, I am a little nervous”. This will put both you and the interviewer at ease from the outset and calm your nerves significantly. An expert interviewer will see past you bluffing confidence.

What can I do next?

If you feel that your nervousness or anxiety could affect your potential job interviews then contact me at The Nexus Team Anxiety hypnosis today. With help from me, you can take control of your pre-interview nervousness and anxiety, ace that interview and land the job of your dreams!

Most of the time with interviews they look to see if they like you and could work with you and how well you would carry out orders and instructions also how well you know the vacancy you have applied for.

However at the end of the day you must realise that you feel you want a Anxiety professional to help you and get you confident, in control and be anxious free. The Nexus Team may just be the person to seek if you require a more in-depth assistance and better result.

So remember there are people to help if you suffer from being anxious, stress or a full blown panic attack. People not only in Birmingham and Walsall go though this but it is in nearly in everyone who judges themselves as suffering of lack of confidence or low self-esteem.

Interview qualifications a job candidate must possess on a checklist clipboard including experience, communication, education and other skills necessary for a new position in your career

MANAGE PANIC ATTACKS IN BIRMINGHAM

HOW TO MANAGE PANIC ATTACKS!

Anxiety Hypnosis The Nexus Team Birmingham Walsall

What is a panic attack?

A panic attack can be best described as a sudden and intense feeling of overwhelming fear and/or anxiety. This can result in dizziness, shortness of breath and an increase in heart rate. Panic attacks can often lead to the affected individual suffering panic disorders and even withdrawing from their normal daily routines in fear that they may re-occur. With the help and treatment from me The Nexus Team and the highly skilled Anxiety Hypnosis, you can take control of these attacks once and for all.

 

How can I manage my panic attacks?

In addition to our treatment program, there are a few simple guidelines listed below that can significantly reduce and even eliminate these panic attacks from occurring again in the future:

1. Don’t Panic  – If there is only once piece of advice that you take from this post, then this would be it. Try to think of your attack like a wave. A wave is only temporary and soon enough, it will pass. The sooner that you can let the wave pass over you, the faster the anxiety will subside.
2. Keep Talking – If you are having an attack and there are people around you, try to talk to them as much as possible. Say whatever is on your mind, no matter how irrational the thoughts may be, this helps to release tension and expels the thoughts from your mind. If you are on your own, this method still helps even if you are talking to yourself or even to the television.
3. Keep Moving – By keeping your body active during an attack, you can disperse the energy and adrenaline that the attack has brought on. If you can, try to go outside for a walk along the street or in the garden. Even pacing back and forth inside the house can keep your body active and your mind empowered.
4. Don’t Forget to Breathe – During the onset of an attack, you may struggle to breathe as easily or deeply as you normally would. This is normal for an attack of this kind but concentrating on your breathing can really help. Focus on your inhale and exhales fully and try to exhale as slowly as possible. This method will help regulate your breathing and bring your heart rate down.
5. Stay Positive – Stay strong, and feel proud of yourself when you have overcome an attack. Once the attack is over, give yourself a pat on the back and realize that you have come through it and you are determined to eliminate these attacks once and for all and realise that you have always been alright and have gotten through it, haven’t you?

Fear of Flying Birmingham, Walsall is helping you

 

The Nexus Team Birmingham, Walsall Anxiety Hypnosis helping you… 

Conquering the fear of flying…

Conquering the fear of flying can be easy when you chose to put your mind to changing an old belief thought pattern. As you know we aren’t scared of everything in life as that would just be down right crazy.

Some people have a fear of dogs and you don’t, you tell them that they’re alright and nothing will happen to them. However the person really doesn’t believe you and then they start to panic, this will only subside when they and the dog are far away from each other.

This is how you have to think when you’re afraid of flying and wanting to conquer the fear of flying.

Don’t be afraid of the dark…

Here is another thought you can have that will get you to come to your senses so to speak. Remember a time as a child and you had a fear. This could have been afraid of the dark, you always had to sleep with the light on. No matter how many times you where told that there wasn’t anything there to be afraid of, you had to have the light on!

You don’t have to sleep with the light on now that you’re a grow-up, WHY? At some realisation in your mind you knew that you no longer needed the light on to sleep. When this happened you realised that you felt a lot better and more relaxed.

You have to take notice when I say fear isn’t real because if it was, you would still need that light to be on so that you could sleep.

What A brilliant mind you have!

Now I would like you to utilise this part of your thinking to exercise your brilliant mind to eliminate the part of you that is fearful of flying, because the fear isn’t real. I can imagine if you have a young child that you will be telling them the exact same thing as you where told that there’s nothing to be afraid of.

It’s all pretend…

When we have fears even though they aren’t real, if you say that fear of flying is real, then you will believe your own statement. On the other hand however, if you are told that you cannot do something such as amount to anything good, because this is a statement from another person we choose not to agree with them and you will go out of your way to prove them wrong.

One could say at this point that you haven’t got the guts to fly and you would feel bound by your word to prove me wrong and I could also say that I dare you?

Be a skilled warrior!

Now you have to start making better choices by moving forward to taking tentative steps towards accomplishing your goal of flying. If it helps you, think of that time of being afraid in the past and use your skills that you will conquer this forever as you are the brave warrior.

Lets face it at the end of the day you really don’t have to fly, but if you don’t conquer this you will be wondering what might have been and like the child with the light on you’ll always stay like that.

Now is the time to change…

So now is the time in your life particularly if your reading this that your getting ready to be Flying Fabulously with my help and support with the Flying Fabulously Tool Kit. If however you would prefer a one to one session if you feel that this would work faster for you In the Birmingham and Walsall areas with me The Nexus Team. I have over 10 years of experience in getting my clients over their fears, anxiety and phobias with Anxiety Hypnosis.

Dentist Phobia Treatment in Birmingham with Anxiety hypnosis

Fear of the Dentist?

Dentist Phobia Birmingham & Walsall Anxiety hypnosis The Nexus Team Being phobic of the dentist is the number one phobia alongside public speaking. The technical name is also called dental phobia, odontophobia, dentophobia, dentist phobia, and dental anxiety. It has been calculated that around 60% of people are afraid of the dentist. This includes panic attacks to mild anxiety.

Symptom and Causes…

Fear of the dentist can cover a wide area, ranging from the thought of a visit to the dentist, the sounds of the drill and other dental noises, the clinical smell when you walk in, the sight of the staff walking around in their dental uniform. There are also the fears of people with fear of chocking or waking up from dental surgery and of course any previous bad experiences in the past. A visit may only happen in extreme emergencies because of pain etc, because your phobia is so bad…

What Can Help?

There are dentists who are phobic friendly and will support you throughout your visit, you can also request when visiting a dentist to have no procedure performed.
Aversion therapy can help, as you could visit the waiting room several time prior to your treatment. A helpful dentist might allow you to sit in the dental chair for a few minutes, this will help you get used to the surroundings as you familiarise yourself. More often than not, we just go in and walk out again, with this on our mind and other senses being overwhelmed, this can be too much for you to handle and this is one of the reasons we have a panic attack.

Other Self Help.

If you’re not generally an anxious person then you’re probably more likely to have a better rate of success with little outside help. If you’re a more nervous person, then you will require more intensive therapy to help. This can range from self help to visiting a therapist. You can start with calm breathing exercises, gentle meditation to help keep you calm, using visualisation and seeing yourself being relaxed from the waiting room and into the dentist chair.

What To Do Next.

A visit a therapist in your area can be a smart move as hypnosis can plant the seeds in your mind of being in control when you have to visit the dentist. The positive outcome can lower your stress and help make you feel relaxed. Sessions are different for each individual because of the reason you have developed this phobia and this can impact on the amount of sessions required, but really shouldn’t take more than 3 therapy sessions to get you to be able to visit the dentist comfortably.

The Nexus Team from Anxiety Hypnosis is here to help and offer practical advise by helping the people of Birmingham, Walsall and the Midlands to make a relaxing visit to their dentist.
So I hope this has given you tips and advice ranging from a good helpful dentist to helping yourself and paying a visit to a professional therapist who can give you a more in-depth personal one-to-one treatment.
