A young woman of 15 years who had a major
problem with anxiety! She is a pianist
having performed in front of audiences since a very early age. However, she always hated performing and
suffered major anxiety attacks before every single performance.
This anxiety was also a big problem for any type of
‘performance’ and was becoming a serious issue with her attending interviews while
looking for work. Her mother told me
that the night before a recent interview she was in tears, was having trouble
breathing properly, and was a complete mess and unable to think straight.
This by the way, is a fine example of the Flight/Fight
response, where under stress the brain basically shuts down three quarters of
its functions (the whole of the right hemisphere and the front of the left
hemisphere of the brain), in order to pump blood to the extremities in
preparation for confronting/fighting or for running away. This is a normal common stress response and
in today’s society is becoming a daily occurrence so that unfortunately it then
affects people’s abilities to think clearly, make decisions, and learn anything
new, it affects your memory and interferes in carrying out even simple tasks. It has become such a daily occurrence that people often no longer recognize it as an issue.
To get back to the interview, she couldn’t think straight,
couldn’t answer questions properly and felt like she had failed miserably. Two weeks later she had another interview,
but between these times I treated her for anxiety / panic and she went home,
expressing that the treatment seemed a bit strange, but ok.
Her mum told the story that that evening she and her other
daughter went into her bedroom to offer advice and encouragement in order to
help her over the tears and anxiety. She
was quite calm and told them both clearly that she didn’t need any help as she
wasn’t anxious in the least – as if she didn’t know what all the fuss was
about. She performed extremely well
during the interview meeting and answering all the questions with clarity and
confidence. Her mum thinks that her
daughter actually didn’t realize just how different she was from one
interview to the next.
The success of Neuro-Training is that the person often
doesn’t realize that some behaviours ‘just change’ and the pain, anguish,
negativity, lack of confidence, whatever it is, seems to just disappear. The
change is easy and comfortable and IMMEDIATE, although awareness of those
changes may not become apparent to
the individual until after a situation has occurred that they now respond
differently too; or when they are questioned; or until they think it
through. Good stuff eh?
