Further information
Let's define what we mean by anxiety. Are we talking
about performance anxiety , when a person begins to feel
nervous or stressed when thinking about a specific activity, e.g.
making a presentation at work or perhaps a social occasion, or are
we talking about general anxiety where a person goes through
their day with a general sense of unease, not related to any particular
activity or occasion? In terms of treatment it is important for
us to be clear what we are dealing with. At the risk of appearing
flip, not being sure what you are anxious about can in itself generate
more anxiety and the situation perpetuates itself.
Anxiety
is basically caused by poor stress-coping strategies. Many people
suffering from anxiety don't actually realise that they have stress-triggers
in their lives. Thinking about what makes them anxious makes them
even more anxious, so there is a tendency not to think about the
root cause of the problem. In fact, anxiety and poor stress-coping
strategies lead to a sort of mental paralysis, which in turn helps
to accentuate and perpetuate the problem.
Let's
just look at what happens to a person who is anxious and or encounters a stressful
or anxious event. In physiological terms, the body is prepared for
fight or flight. Chemicals and hormones are produced which are released
into the bloodstream. These cause the heart rate to increase, the
breathing rate to increase and an increase in muscular tension.
This happens to all intents and purposes instantaneously and the
purpose is to get the individual into a physiological state where
they can literally either run away from danger or turn and fight
to physically defend themselves. The important thing for us to appreciate
in the context of what we are discussing is that the chemical release
is designed to produce immediate physical action. That physical
action dissipates the chemicals in the bloodstream and the body
returns to a normal chemical balance. The analogy might be to imagine
dropping a coin into some acid; there is a lot of bubbling and quite
violent activity on the surface of the coin and when it's clean,
it's taken out of the acid. If the coin were left in the acid, it
would corrode and become damaged. The chemical/hormonal release
is a bit like that acid, it's designed to produce an immediate effect
and once that has happened it's done it's job and the physical action,
in a sense, 'dilutes the body's acid'. If that physical action does
not occur (i.e. the person does not either physically run away or
physically turn round and fight) the chemical hormonal mix remains
in the bloodstream, circulating around the vital organs and over
a period of time can cause actual physical damage. Obviously, our
bodies work in such a way that there has to be quite a build-up
before there is any lasting damage, but what happens at work. Say
you work in an office and one of your co-workers or managers really
annoy you. When you are annoyed (or upset) by something, the body
automatically goes into preparation for fight or flight. If there
is no physical activity, which generally speaking in a work situation
there isn't, there is a daily build-up of potentially harmful chemicals
and hormones and the bloodstream which can and does begin to cause
internal damage.
So,
how can we alleviate this situation? It's the autonomic nervous
system which stimulates the production of the chemicals and hormones
which produce the fight or flight reaction and we can't actually
prevent that from happening because the reaction evolved so that
we could survive in what was a physically hostile world, however
what we can do is to neutralise the effect of the chemical/hormonal
secretion. You've probably read or heard that when we are relaxed
or happy our brains produce certain chemicals which cause the pleasant
feelings. Hypnotherapy/hypnosis can help get the brain to produce
these chemicals, which counter and neutralise the effect of the
fight or flight chemicals. You've probably experienced the situation
where you've woken from a bad dream in an anxious state, a state
where physically you're ready to run or fight ~ you're breathing
heavily, your heart is beating faster and you're experiencing a
certain tension in the muscles. As you realise that you were having
a bad dream, so you begin to relax and as you begin to relax so
the body returns to a more restful state. What has happened is that
the fight or flight chemical reaction has been shut down by the
autonomic nervous system, without any physical activity, because
the perceived danger has passed.
The
anxious or stressed person, however, continues to experience the
physical effects of the fight or flight chemicals, continues to
experience an unpleasantly aroused state and begins to confuse this
aroused (anxious)state with a normal state, which in turn leads
to more anxiety as they begin to experience the physical effects
of having a 'corrosive' chemical/hormonal imbalance.
If
we can get the brain to produce the neutralising chemicals then
we can avoid the unpleasant physical effects caused by the chemical/hormonal
imbalance. We can do this by a series of visualisation exercises.
This is not quite as simple as going through life and thinking happy/pleasant
thoughts (although it is true to say that people who are more positive
in their approach to life don't suffer from prolonged anxiety) but
with practice it is possible to 'get things into their true perspective'
which in turn alters a persons outlook on life.
If
you are suffering from anxiety or are generally pretty stressed-out
by life and would like to change this give Dr James Rutherford a call
on 0779 210 82 72.
