Let me give you in-depth advice on how you can get momentum within yourself to crash through the barriers and hurdles that are stopping you from achieving and getting what you want from life.

Anxiety, panic and stress are common and treatable. Panic Attacks, stress and anxiety can happen to people who have never experienced these symptoms before. They are associated with states of phobias and other emotional experiences. A sense of fear, low mood, breathlessness, palpitations, fast heart beats and sweating are some of the characteristics that are associated, and attacks can last from a few minutes to a few hours. Deep breathing and drugs can help but do not eliminate the problem. We believe that the cause must be dealt with as well as the symptom using therapies like NLP, Hypnotherapy and CBT

Some people cannot distinguish the difference between a real threat that causes fear which is rational and an imagined threat that is irrational and normally causes anxiety. Some people will experience some of the following, Tiredness, Broken Sleep, Tension, Tense Muscles, Avoidance of Situations and Places, Loss of Concentration, Heart Palpitations, Nervousness, Worry, Paranoia, Unease, Dizziness, Irrational Behaviour, Fear.

These emotions are learned and can be unlearned with the help of NLP and Hypnosis

Everyone who suffers from stress or anger issues has different reasons for their problems. These may be historical (e.g. Post Traumatic Stress), relationship problems, work, abuse, a combination of these or a very individual reason. We find it best to treat each case individually, rather than with a "conveyor belt" approach.In each case the person suffers from a negative response to a stimulus. This situation, person or other stimulus triggers a response (e.g. anger, depression, stress, anxiety, etc) which is neither productive nor helpful. By using relaxation therapy to reduce current levels of agitation or stress, the person's ability to cope is improved. By using psychotherapy and counselling techniques, the underlying issues are addressed.

Depression as a mood

We all like to think of ourselves as even-tempered people; well-balanced ,equable in all things and well in control of ourselves. This gives rise to the incorrect beilef that our day-to-day mood is consistant - that we keep to an even emotional tenor in all our ways. This is not so.

Our feelings follow a cyclical pattern - a little up , a little down; small variations from moment to moment, from hour to hour, from day to day. This follows the paterns of other bodily functions such as tempreature and level of chemicals in the blood. This Variabilty is based on what are known as circadian rhythms - twenty four hour cycles of activity which are perhaps related to the alternation of the hours of light and the hours of darkness. As daylight comes and goes so does our 'mood' ; the sum total of all our feelings at a given time. These feelings, the good and the bad, combine to give us a general feeling of well-being or of apprehension.

We talk colloquially of our mood going up and down. Depression happens when our mood is down. There are a number of slang phrases used to describe this feelingof 'downess': fed up, browned off, cheesed off, the downsin the dumps, the blues, the gloomst ,the miseries, feeling low, at a low ebb, lifeless, flat and so on.

The word depression, when applied to a state of mood, shares with all these colloquial woprds and phrases a sense of being down in spirit,low in energy, having a senseof loss, hopelessness and uselessness. It implies apathy and pessimism. The opposite mood would be typifide by enthusiasm, joy, hopefulness and optimism.

A depressed mood very often comes on after disappointment, or a sense of having lost something, but often it can come out of the blue, apparently spontaneously. Some people are more prone to this apparently spontaneous shift of mood and are said to be cyclothymic. I say apparently spontaneous because clinical experience with patients shows that there is nearly always a preceding cause for a mood change, but the person experiencing it is not always aware of the cause. as the person talks with the doctor, he will become aware of events that have, as it were, triggered off the mood change. A few patients vigorously deny this, but they can be shown to be avoiding a situation or occurrence which has been particularly painful or embarrassing to them.

In this sense of having a depressed mood, we all get depressed. It can occur on its own, but is often accompanied by another feeling-anxiety. This is an unpleasant feeling of anticipated disturbance. The very fact of becoming depressed, of itself, can spark off anxiety in susceptible people; in others, depression arises in conjunction with anxiety or is initated by it.

Moods arise out of all kinds of experiences. An experience inevitably linked to a depressed mood is that of feeling devalued and losing a sense of being appreciated, or being loved as a person. This sense of loss itself is often called depression, as well as the mood of depression to which the feeling of loss can lead.

As well as a depressed mood , this experience of losing something valuable can be assosiated with feelings of frustration and resentment. When we are depressed we often want to be quite and keep to ourselves: when we are frustrated or resentful we want to attack the object of our frustration and resentment. A mixture of depression with anxiety , frustration and resentment are the ingredients of a very disturbing state called agitation. Obviously it disturbs the person suffering from it and it also disturbs those who see that the person is agitated - like many extreme moods,aspects of this experience are socially infectious.

The concept of 'temperament' is used to describe types of people and to seperate them into contrasting groups: warm hearted, cold hearted, stable, unstable,confident,diffident,optimistic, pessimistic. These are desccriptions of a continuing aspect of personality rather than a passing emotional responce. Our temperament can be thought of as a measure of our customary general attitude to life and its fortunes.

People can be divided roughly into those who cope with life and those who do not-like all generalizations this is true only in the widest sense. Most people can cope with some things but not with others, but there are people who are generally 'inadequate' and have to rely on others for strength, encouragment and support. Some of these people are chronically pessimistic; they expect the worse out of life and usually get it. Rabindranath TaTagore, the great Indian philosopher, said, ' Expect nothing and then you will not be disappointed.' This is the attitude of the cynic or perhaps, the sceptical realist. The attitude of the depressed personality is 'There is no use hoping for anything. I always get the worst that's going.' It is important to distinguish the transient pessimsm, which is part of depressed mood,and the persistent pessimistic attitude which is part of the depressed personality. The first is a responce to stimulus; the second is an attitude to life

Moods, experiences and attitudes can be common to any of us.They may not make us happy, but they do not necessarily mean that we are sick; they just show how we happen to be at a given time ,wheras illness implies a discontinuity, a change from health to sickness. At one moment a person is fit and well, functioning pretty satisfactorily, then suddenly he is sick; he has become a patient who feels distressed, loses effectiveness and shows disturbance of his bodily and mental functions. He is 'no longer himself 'as we put it. It is not always easy to be sure when somebody is actualy ill. Some moods can be so severe and incapacitating that they merge into illness. It is not necessarily a matter of severity even, but of a person's ability to absorb stress and deal with it. Illness implies that the machine has broken down in some way. For example, computers have a built-in mechanism which switches them off when they are being over loaded; it is a protective device. Depression can be thought of in the same way- a protective mood, which temporarily switches the person off untill he can cope better. If the computer cut-out does not work in time, or fails, the machine will blow a fuse and stop until the faulty part is replaced. Depressive illness, as opposed to depressive mood, is like that, the machine has gone wronge; it needs help to be put right again.

The word 'depression' can be deceptively simple. When we talk to each other we must define what we mean by depression. Otherwise when one of us means mood, another may mean illness; when one of us is talking about experience, another may mean attitude to life. As we go on to look futher into the nature of depression in all its different aspects, these basic distinctions and definitions should be kept in mind.

We all want to get along better with others. Sometimes it
just feels so damn awkward with certain people though!
Wouldn't it be great if we knew simple principles that
enabled us to experience more satisfying relationships.

The following Top Ten Tips offer you some simple advice that
you can begin to apply right now.

1. Remember that however unreasonable someone is acting
their behaviour is derived from a positive intention. When
you 'act as if' all behaviour has a positive intention
behind it, through discovering it, your life will become
more pleasant. An example: You meet an angry person and you
think how childish and silly they are. But if you were to
ask yourself, "what is the positive intention behind this
persons angry behaviour?", you could come up with something
useful that allows you to feel more comfortable. For
instance people often act angry because behind this they
believe it will protect them from harm.

2. When you find yourself feeling uncomfortable in an
interaction 'get some perspective' by disassociating. In
your minds eye see yourself and the other person interacting
over there, rather like you would if you were to see a movie
of the situation.

3. Step into their shoes. This is one of the most powerful
methods for gaining wisdom about your relationships. To
begin you imagine communicating with the other person,
noticing how they talk, observe their facial expressions and
so on. You then 'step into their shoes' and see through
their eyes and hear through their ears. So of course you
will be looking at yourself! Run through a conversation
you've had before that could of been better. Notice
'yourself' and become aware of how seeing things from this
other persons perspective gives you knew insights into the
relationship. This method is described in more detail in my
free mini-course.

4. What assumptions are you making about the other person?
Are you willing to challenge those assumptions? Pick one.
What is the opposite of that? Eg) Narrow minded/Open minded.
Now imagine interacting with the person with this new
attitude.

5. Step into the 'WE' frame: Think about a person you want
to get along with better. Disassociate: Picture both of you
interacting in your minds eye. Now allow yourself to find a
common purpose between the two of you. Of course if you
can't come up with anything you can always fall back on the
fact that you are just two human beings who are trying to
experience more happiness.

6. 'Funify' your boss (or that irritating colleague): Many
people experience difficulties communicating with their
boss. It's often due to being too serious. So here is a
simple, quick way to inject the antidote: FUN! Ok, picture
your boss or whoever. And then notice their facial features.
What stands out? Is it their nose, their eyes, eye brows,
chin? Now you simply exaggerate those features rather like a
caricature cartoonist does. Exaggerate and 'funify' it in
such a way that it makes you laugh or at least feel better
towards the relationship.

7. No Failure, Only Feedback (or Learning Experiences.) A
really useful way to make beneficial changes is to view
everything as a learning experience. So thinking about a
relationship you find challenging, notice how you usually
respond to the person and then ask yourself, "How else could
I respond?" How many different ways could you respond in
your interactions? Come up with at least 3 possibilities.
This enables your mind to generate more flexibility of
behaviour.

8. Often when we experience difficulties in our
relationships it is due to focusing on faults. This distorts
our perception of the overall relationship, which is really
a mixture of good and bad qualities. To re-focus our
attention on the bigger picture begin to remember qualities
you admire in the other person. Come up with three, picture
them, increase the size of the images and place them around
an image of the 'faulty' qualities of the person. And
remember positive intention, take a look at Tip 1 again!

9. What would be the consequence of staying stuck in the
same relationship dynamic with a particular person, say 25
years from now?! The fact is if you want to experience
better relationships YOU are going to have to change your
viewpoints or attitude. It's OK, this can be fairly simple.
Imagine stepping into the future 25 years from now and look
back at that relationship and notice that it has remained in
the same stuck pattern year after year for 25 years! Looking
at it like this, acting as if it could really happen, allow
your feelings to arise that make you say, "enough is enough
I MUST change!"

10. Think of someone you would like to get along with
better. Choose someone of medium level "problematic-ness"
and then read the follow questions slowly: Isn't it true
that all of the problems that we experience when relating to
others is due to OUR feelings? What if we were to change our
feelings? This could make things easier didn't it?

If you want to experience more satisfying relationships you
are going to have to gain some new perspectives. Applying
one or more of the methods above will help you achieve this
more easily!
