What causes Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Emetophobia, IBS, OCD, Eating Disorders, phobias, Low self-esteem, OCD, Depression, Sexual Problems.....?
Many of us go through our lives with symptoms and problems and never seek help until things get really bad (and even then sometimes we don't). We fear our problems, we fear that people won't understand, we fear our fear. We adapt to our 'living hell' and often suffer in silence and try our best to cope.
Many of us cope very well, some not so well, and some people unfortunately give up totally and take their own lives. Why can't we all live our lives to the full? So many people take just being happy for granted, but if you're looking at this website, the chances are that you're not happy, you understand that you have a problem and you would like to correct it, you'd like to change. Well I congratulate you, you've taken a step in the right direction. When you come to see me at the Yorkshire hypnotherapy clinic, and embark on the journey of hypnoanalysis, you will not only leave feeling completely resolved of your anxiety, and as a result your symptoms, but you will also leave having learned a great deal about yourself, feeling free for the first time in your life to be able to make the choices you deserve.
What causes symptoms and problems such as social phobia, emetophobia, panic attacks, ocd, depression and IBS amongst others, is anxiety. Anxiety can be described as 'something inside ourselves but outside of our control' or like an 'unknown, thinly spread fear'.
To help us understand why we have symptoms and problems I will use an analogy. If we imagine an active volcano, that has a bit of lava in its core, deep below the ground. On good days, this lava, seeps up steadily through the channels, where it breaks out on the surface, letting off little plumes of steam. Now imagine that we put more lava into the core of it, shake it up a bit and our volcano is having a bad day. The lava makes its way up to the surface more rapidly, more ferociously, more angrily to release this extra pressure. The lava erupts through the channels and starts to spew boiling hot lava uncontrollably all over the place. Our volcano is now in a very bad way, expressing the tension within by erupting.
Now if we keep this in mind, lets equate this to us humans. We all have a certain amount of lava in us, so rest assured, whatever you're suffering from, you're not a million miles different to anybody else no matter how you feel as everybody is neurotic in differing degrees. Instead of lava inside ourselves, we have anxiety.
The daily pressures of life can cause anxiety
Be it work, our love lives, money or health and when things get a little too much we sometimes get sad, lonely, angry, jealous or down, and we have a little cry or get angry to let off some steam, just as our volcano did in order to release some pressure. But.. as with the Volcano, if we become more stressed and add more anxiety (lava), it has to be released in some way or we'll explode usually resulting in a nervous breakdown. Because anxiety is 'inside ourselves but outside our control' as it surfaces our minds convert it into a neurosis, a symptom or problem. Because we humans like to label things and put things in 'boxes', our minds convert this 'unknown' anxiety into a problem so that it has form, whether it be social phobia, a sexual problem, an obsession or compulsion, a drug problem, or any other combination of symptoms and problems possible.
The more stress and anxiety we have,
the more serious our symptoms and problems become. |
Although it may not seem this way to a sufferer, this is a very clever mechanism that human beings have adopted so we can understand and 'see' that we have a problem because it has form, rather than suffering from great anxiety and in effect 'the unknown'. It makes us 'visibly' suffer, so that, in a positive light, we go and seek help. We do this if we haven't given up on ourselves and know we can be helped and sorted out.
Well, here you can be.
Internal conflict and pressure (anxiety), is the product of bottled up emotions. The anxiety that causes symptoms and problems can be traced back to our childhoods. If we free these emotions, we free ourselves of our symptoms and problems. If we find the cause and deal with it, the effect (the symptoms and problems) disappear. This is what Pure Hypnoanalysis sets out to do and this is what I specialise in.
