Anxiety is a mental state that should warn us about some trouble around us, which we may not be aware of, about some unresolved problem in our life. This state has several components: 1) Bodily: it manifests itself in the form of muscle tension, discomfort in the body, changes in breathing rhythm. 2) Emotional: manifests itself in the form of emotional arousal, instability, states similar to fear. 3) Mental: the thought process is accelerated, a lot of anxiety appears thoughts that aggravate states of anxiety, they usually revolve around the state of the problem, pictures of negative scenarios for getting out of the situation may appear. 4) Attention: attention is fixed on the problem, on factors that may affect its resolution or aggravate it. In the presence of an obvious negative situation, this should force us to act to solve the problem and ultimately allow us to become more prosperous and adapt to the environment. But it happens that anxiety becomes maladaptive. This condition is characterized by manifestations of anxiety, which often have no explanation. Since the situation around may be quite prosperous. As a rule, this is due to some traumatic experiences in the past, the emotional charge from which was not effectively processed, and their experience was not learned at the proper level. Since there is no real situation that needs to be dealt with, manifestations of anxiety may increase. Sleep problems, panic attacks, problems with internal organs, and sexual problems may appear. Various addictions can be added to this, as an attempt to turn off the anxious state at least temporarily. Against the background of such a state, relationships with others may deteriorate (due to emotional outbursts, excessive demands, suspicion). Attempts to restrain oneself do not lead to results, since thoughts are often strongly dependent on emotions and tension in the body. What can be done about this? In my practice, I usually use several approaches to solving this problem. 1)Working with the body: working out muscle tension through concentration on body sensations and teaching the client voluntary self-control of tension in the body, creating an arbitrary comfortable state (at the same time, sleep is usually normalized). 2) Working with emotions: using hypnotic techniques and techniques NLP looks for traumatic situations in the past and present and works through them, releasing the old emotional charge. We are looking for a positive emotional resource, integrating conflicting parts of the personality, working through problems with relatives and much more. 3) Working with thoughts: identifying negative automatic thoughts, searching for their positive intention, developing a pattern of actions instead of resisting thoughts, we allow them to be, and we dive into the body-oriented state. In the case of a real negative situation, we draw up an action plan to overcome it, project it into the future, and pump it up with resources. 4) Work with attention: we train concentration on body sensations, tension, and techniques for voluntarily switching attention. As a rule, with high-quality work, the minimum effect appears already in the first session and then grows, allowing you to rid a person of negative conditions.
