This month I am going to talk about how to reduce your background level of anxiety. Learning how to do this is an easily acquirable skill. It\u2019s also an easy to apply self-management technique that can benefit anybody. You don\u2019t have to suffer clinical levels of anxiety; you just have to want a less stressful life. Next month I am going to deal with how to manage your situational anxieties and specific phobias. The following month I am going to talk about how to permanently eliminate specific irrational anxieties and fears and how to stop reacting to your triggers.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Anxiety can seriously disrupt your life. Panic attacks can stop you functioning normally. Irrational fears and phobias can make your existence chaotic. In other words, when anxiety strikes, you don\u2019t rule your fears \u2013 your fears rule you. If you suffer from chronic anxiety then your life is getting, or has already got, seriously out of control. However, it doesn\u2019t have to be that way. Psychotherapy, especially if it includes a good dose of cognitive-behavioural therapy, (CBT), can provide quick and effective help. The CBT part rapidly helps you to get back in control of you. The personal therapy part helps you to understand why you got so anxious in the first place. Applied properly, these therapeutic techniques are so effective that if you don\u2019t notice an improvement in the first 2 or 3 sessions then go to another therapist. Find somebody who knows what they are doing!<\/p>\n<p>The best treatment for anxiety is essentially self-treatment but don\u2019t worry \u2013 you don\u2019t have to do it all by yourself. For the best and fastest results getting some professional help, at least to begin with, certainly pays off. This is where psychotherapy comes in. The psychotherapist\u2019s first job is to teach clients how to manage their anxiety and how to regain control of their lives. The therapist\u2019s second job is help clients find out why they ever lost control in the first place and how to deal with the root causes.<\/p>\n<p>Anxiety affects people through two interacting nervous systems, one in the body and the other in the mind. There are physical or bodily symptoms, (rapid pulse, sweating, over-breathing, tummy \u2018butterflies\u2019, dizziness, feeling faint, pins and needles, etc., etc.). There are mental symptoms \/ conscious feelings, (fear, dread, panic, irrationality, etc., etc.). Of course we all experience anxiety from time to time. It\u2019s a perfectly normal reaction to some of life\u2019s events \u2013 we get hyped up and then we calm down again. However, those who suffer from clinical levels of excess anxiety are partly wound-up all the time. They don\u2019t realise this of course because being hyper has become part of their normality and they have got so used to being tense that they stop noticing it. This means that when they hit a stressful situation, their reaction is much more severe than other people\u2019s. They don\u2019t go from 0 to 5; they start from 5 and rapidly go to 10. Therefore, it would obviously help anxiety suffers if they could significantly lower their background levels of anxiety and also learn how to lessen their reactions to any particular stressful situation. In other words it\u2019s all about self-management and regaining control.<\/p>\n<p>As I have said, the symptoms of anxiety exist at a conscious level in your mind, (worries, fears, anxieties, stresses, and so on). Calming down by telling yourself to be more sensible sounds like a good idea. However, in practice it\u2019s hard to do and anyway, your worries usually soon come back again. All the anxiety symptoms in your body, (rapid pulse, over-breathing, sweatiness, fainting, and so on), are all regulated by the body\u2019s automatic, (autonomic), nervous systems. At first glance it might seem that controlling your body\u2019s automatic systems is impossible. After all, you don\u2019t tell your heart when to beat or your body when to perspire. However, actually there is a sure-fire technique available to calm down these physical symptoms. The good news is that calming down the autonomic side of your worries always leads to a calming down of the conscious side of your anxieties too. The even better news is if you regularly practice these techniques, (at least once daily), you will significantly reduce your ongoing background levels of anxiety and so become much better at handling stressful situations generally.<\/p>\n<p>So what is this \u2018magic\u2019 method for reducing anxiety? It is very simple. All you need to do is to engage in a planned programme of Relaxation Therapy, (RT). Of course, you can buy DVDs and self-help books that tell you how to do this but I don\u2019t recommend them. That is because they are inevitably \u2018one size fits all\u2019 manuals. To make RT work properly you need to find out which specific method\/regime works best for you. You also need to get that regime precisely fine-tuned to your own specific needs and circumstances. This is where psychotherapy can help. A good psychotherapist will be able to work with you to devise the RT program that is right for you and to help you to use it properly so that you gain maximum benefit. Then, like any skill, from learning to ride a bike to becoming a great pianist &#8211; it\u2019s \u2018practice, practice, practice\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Now, as well as claiming that using RT like this is a good thing by itself I\u2019m also claiming that RT is so much more than just another way of \u2018going with the flow\u2019 or \u2018chillaxing\u2019. It\u2019s also a very effective curative tool that can help you overcome your anxieties, fears, and phobias. RT will give you back control of your life \u2013 it can be that powerful. I\u2019ll tell you more about all that over the next two months. Look out for parts 2 &amp; 3 of this blog.<\/p>\n<p>Important Note: Although Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is usually classified as being one of the Anxiety Disorders, treating OCD sufferers with Relaxation Therapy, or CBT generally, can often be counter-productive. If you suffer from OCD get professional advice before embarking on any sort of self-management program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BEATING ANXIETY: Part 1 Anxiety is a serious and very debilitating psychological disorder that makes life very difficult for millions of people in the UK today.
