Treatment for Anxiety By : Rebecca235 Armstrong235 Hypnosis to Treat Anxiety Hypnosis is an effective treatment for anxiety that produces lasting results. In order to understand how hypnosis works in the treatment of anxiety it is important to understand a little about brainwaves. There are four brainwaves and each have their own distinctive pattern and benefit. An easy way to understand how they function is to think of each brainwave like a gear of a car. Beta is the highest gear (13-40 cycles per second), then there is Alpha (8-13 cycles per second), then Theta (4-7 cycles per second) and the lowest gear, Delta (0-4 cycles per second). We have found that people often skip the Theta and Alpha brainwave and exist primarily in Beta and Delta brainwave patterns. People often remain in the high gear of Beta throughout the day, revving themselves on high throughout their day until night comes when they move into the lowest gear of Delta or sleep. The rapid and intense shift from Beta to Delta to Beta again can take its toll. Just imagine shifting your car from fourth gear to first to fourth to first over and over again.

As a definition, hypnosis is an experience where your focus shifts from an outer awareness to a hyper focus inward. Hypnosis states are states where you bypass the critical mind (conscious mind) and are able to work directly with your subconscious mind. This shift can be measured in a person’s brainwaves.

By : Luca Govoni000 Luca Govoni000 What are the characteristics of assertive people? Assertiveness is a skill we can acquire over time and a capacity that should be maintained. We should also avoid assuming extreme attitudes in one sense or the other. The capacity of being assertive in fact varies between two extremes, the first being that of total passivity, the incapacity to assume a particular stance in the presence of others and difficulty in relating to them, and the second being that of an excessive self-confidence, which may eventually turn into an aggressive attitude, whereby one would tend to prevaricate and impose one’s will upon other people and pay no attention at all to their needs. Neither of these extremes can be considered as adequate and, once again, the middle path is best. Stress and High Cortisol: What’s the Connection? By : Valerie Balandra66 Valerie Balandra66 The effects of cortisol in the body Cortisol is a chemical substance produced by the adrenal glands. When the levels of cortisol in the blood stream become high the HPA axis feedback mechanism turns off the corticotrophin-releasing hormone. This is a signal for the brain and adrenal glands to decrease the production of cortisol. Under continuous periods of stress this feedback system becomes ineffective once it becomes stuck in the fight or flight mode. Some amount of cortisol in the blood stream is essential for life. It is necessary for normal brain, immune, muscle, blood sugar function, and blood circulation. One initial symptom of adrenal fatigue is high levels of cortisol. If the high levels of stress continue and the adrenal glands are deteriorating, it causes a decline in cortisol production. Teenage depression: an effect of physiological and psychological turmoil!
